Description

This standard specifies requirements for preservative-treated hardwood structural poles, agricultural poles, fencing poles, round droppers, guardrail posts and spacer blocks. The poles are intended for the erection of
fences and vine trellises, for general use in orchards and for structural purposes. The droppers are intended
for fencing. The posts and spacer blocks are intended for the erection of steel guardrails at the sides of roads.
Timber used in ground contact and exterior above ground contact, should have an expected life span of at
least 20 years when treated in accordance with the requirements applicable to the exposure classes (see
tables 3 and 4). Timber treated for interior above ground exposure class should have an expected life span
equal to that of the structure it is used in.
NOTE Except under the certification mark scheme, assessment of compliance with the requirements of 6.2 to 6.6
(inclusive) and, except in the case of units treated with creosote or a creosote and waxy oil mixture, 4.4, requires special
agreement between the supplier and the purchaser.

IMPARTIALITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT
The Botswana Bureau of Standards (BOBS) understands the importance of impartiality and confidentiality in carrying out its management system certification activities. BOBS management is committed to gaining and maintaining the reputation, credibility and ultimately, confidence of its stakeholders in rendering its certification services. Additionally, BOBS strives to continuously manage foreseen potential conflicts of duty and interest and ensures objectivity of its activities under the management system certification. To achieve the above, BOBS shall identify, analyse, record and manage potential conflict of duty and interest to ensure that certification services are not provided within relationships that have been identified to pose an unacceptable threat to impartiality. An Impartiality Committee shall periodically review activities of the certification function to verify commitment to credibility and fairness. The Committee shall further assist in the development of policies relating to impartiality of providing certification activities. BOBS is committed to maintaining in strict confidence all information accessed while rendering the certification services and shall ensure that such information is not divulged to third parties without the Client’s written consent unless if required by law.
