Foreword
This Part of BS 1186 has been prepared under the direction of the Timber
Standards committee and supersedes BS 1186-2:1971, which is withdrawn.
The other Part of BS 1186 is Part 3 Specification for wood trim and its fixing.
Part 1 Specification for timber, is superseded by BS EN 942:1996 Timber in
joinery General classification of timber quality.
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Summary of pages
This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii,
pages 1 to 10, an inside back cover and a back cover.

0 Introduction
3 Moisture content
1 Scope
This Part of BS 1186 specifies requirements for the
fit of parts in various details of joinery, and
indicates a degree of care to be exercised in the
forming of joints and the application of adhesives.
The suitability and selection of joints for specific
applications are not included in this Part of
BS 1186.
This Part of BS 1186 does not apply to wood trim.
Guidance on machined surfaces and their treatment
and on timber movement are given in Appendix A
and Appendix B respectively. Methods of test for the
assessment of finger joint strength are given
in Appendix C.
NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this Part of
BS 1186 are listed on the inside back cover.
2 Definitions
For the purposes of this Part of BS 1186, the
definitions given in BS 6100-4 and in BS EN 942
apply, together with the following.
2.1
flush panel
assembly in which one or both faces are flush with
the framework
2.2
push fit
fit requiring pressure that can be applied manually
2.3
tight fit
fit requiring pressure that needs to be mechanically
applied
BSI 02-1999
BS 1186-2:1988
6 Fixed joints
6.1 Framed joints
6.1.1 General. The faces of members shall be flush or
stepped or relieved. Where faces of members are
relieved or the edges are moulded, the faces shall be
in alignment subject to a tolerance of 1 mm.
There shall be a tight fit on the exposed face(s) of a
shaped scribe or a square shoulder. In other
respects the two surfaces shall not at any point be
more than 0.5 mm apart.
In a mortice and tenon, combed or halving joint,
where part of the end grain of one member shows
upon a finished face or edge, it shall be flush with
that face or edge.

8 Laminated timber
8.1 Machine preparation of laminations
Surfaces to be laminated shall be machined to
provide a clean cut surface without torn or damaged
grain.
8.2 Thickness variation
The variation in actual thickness throughout the
length of an individual lamination shall not
exceed 0.5 mm.
NOTE Any lamination may consist of two or more pieces joined
in length and/or width.

9.5 Knots
The maximum dimension of knots within the length
of the fingers shall not be greater than 5 mm or one
half the pitch of the fingers, whichever is smaller.
Fingers shall not contain zones of localized grain
disturbance associated with knots. Outside the
length of the fingers for a distance of 36 mm, the size
of the knots shall not exceed 12 mm or the specified
class limit as defined in BS EN 942 whichever is
less. (See Figure 5.)
9.6 Fissures
After assembly of the joint, fissures originating from
the finger roots shall not exceed 1.5 mm in width
and/or 10 mm in length and shall not penetrate
through the thickness of the piece of timber.
10 Adhesives
10.1 Types
Adhesives shall be compatible with wood
preservatives to be applied and with the intended
end use of the timber. Adhesives used for joinery
shall be one of the following:
a) animal glue complying with BS 745;
b) synthetic resin gap filling adhesives (phenolic
and aminoplastic) complying with BS 1204-1 and
BS 1204-2;
c) one part polyvinyl acetate emulsion adhesives
complying with BS 4071;
d) two part polyvinyl acetate emulsion adhesives
in accordance with the recommendations of
DD 74;
