EN 350 durability classes are indicative, derived from the natural durability of the species and not from lot testing. Container capacities are calculated on prudent stowage assumptions and must be re-checked against the actual packing list. Customs codes, duties and regulatory requirements must be confirmed at the date of each shipment. Black ash is a species under pressure from the emerald ash borer: availability must be checked order by order.
Principal uses
