Key insights highlight harmonization with Eurocode 5, updates in mechanical property characterizations, and heightened safety requirements for continuous-use rip sawing machines. Industry professionals, quality managers, engineers, and procurement specialists will find actionable guidance for implementation and compliance, as well as recommendations reflecting the month’s direction in standardization. Stay informed about what shaped Wood Technology in September 2025 and ensure continued conformance in a sector defined by both evolving product performance expectations and safety benchmarks.

This monthly overview examines the standards published in May 2025 for the Wood Technology sector, covering three significant ISO publications. Readers will gain insights into new methodologies for assessing greenhouse gas displacement, carbon storage in harvested wood products, and updates to fundamental testing methods for wood swelling. Key themes include climate impact evaluation, life cycle assessment refinements, and improvements in material testing. Industry professionals, compliance officers, engineers, and researchers will benefit from understanding these developments and their implications for sustainability reporting, product compliance, and procurement. Catch up on the latest in Wood Technology standards and get practical guidance to support implementation and ongoing compliance efforts.

Technical documentation in most cases displays key indicators according to which this or that activity should be carried out. In the process of production and use of various types of materials, it is necessary to adhere to the rules and regulations to comply with all safety techniques and maintain the quality of the final result. In general, it makes sense to create a clear base of international standards that will govern the entire process. After all, the interaction of companies and organizations generally takes place at the international level, and therefore regulation should take place within the same framework. Today we will talk about some of the basic standards in the field of production.
