scope:

This International Standard specifies requirements for bonded finger joints and minimum requirements for the manufacture of cut, interlocking, bonded finger joints in structural timber members.

Although most finger joints are produced in coniferous species, this International Standard also applies to broadleaved species where information is available to enable them to be satisfactorily bonded.

It does not cover impressed (die-formed) joints. In the case of glued laminated timber it applies only to individual laminations. Large finger joints in glued laminated timber are not covered by this International Standard.
