Foreword
This document (EN 1075:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 124 “Timber Structures”,
the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2015 and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the
latest by June 2015.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 1075:1999.
Compared to EN 1075:1999, the following changes have been made:
a) replacement of EN 28970 by EN ISO 8970;
b) modification of definition in 3.5 for density;
c) modification of the formula in 6.6.1 for anchorage capacity;
d) improvement of figures.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece,
Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal,
Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the test methods for determining the strength capacity and stiffness of joints
made with punched metal plate fasteners in load bearing timber structures, being used to join two or more
pieces of timber of the same thickness in the same plane.
The properties measured are:
— load-slip characteristics and maximum load resulting from the lateral resistance of the embedded
projections, at various angles between the direction of the applied force and
— the axis of the fastener (load-fastener angle α),
— the direction of the grain of the timber (load-grain angle β),
— the tension capacity of the fastener at various angles α,
— the compression capacity of the fastener at various angles α,
— the shear capacity of the fastener at various angles α.
A nail root test method is shown in Annex A.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references,
the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
EN 336, Structural timber ― Sizes, permitted deviations

sample

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
punched metal plate
fastener made of metal plate of nominal thickness not less than 0,9 mm and not more than 3,0 mm, having
integral projections punched out in one direction and bent perpendicular to the base of the metal plate
3.2
major axis of fastener
direction giving the highest tension capacity per unit width of the fastener
Note 1 to entry: In many cases the punching pattern of the fastener gives rise to two main directions, perpendicular to
each other, with different capacity properties.
3.3
effective area of fastener
area of the total contact surface between the plate and the timber, reduced by 5 mm from the edges of the
timber and by a distance in the grain direction from the end of timber equal to 6 times the fastener's nominal
thickness, see Figure 1
Dimensions in millimetres
Key
1 direction of the grain
2 major axis of the fastener
Figure 1 — Definition of effective area of fastener
3.4
anchorage capacity per unit area
maximum load resisted by the joint per effective unit area of the fastener
3.5
mean density
population 50-percentile value with the mass and volume corresponding to equilibrium moisture content at a
temperature of 20 °C and a relative humidity of 65 %
3.6
design core thickness of the fastener
nominal thickness of the fastener, reduced by the thickness of the coating and further reduced by the minus
tolerance of the core thickness
