Re: Comparative Study
Dear Roslina
,
Singapore has very limited existing standards on timber - only 1 standard and 2
codes of practice and they are:
1. SS 72: 1988 Treatment of timber and plywood with copper/chrome/arsenic wood
preservatives.
Specifies requirements for the treatment of timber plywood or veneer with
water-borne wood preservations which consists essentially of mixtures of copper,
chromium and arsenic. Includes list of the most used C-C-A formulations.
2. CP (Code of Practice) 1: 1982 The use of timber in building
3. CP (Code of Practice) 7: 1997 Structural use of timber
Among them, only CP 7 is regulated by the BCA (Building and Construction Authority)
for structural design. However, it is applicable for buildings only, not furniture.
Best regards
Dennis
Kenneth - Thank you very much for the information.
