Scope
ISO 8966:1987 provides terms and definitions for products of the logging industry. Its scope covers identification and naming of products such as logs for pulp and paper, sawlogs and other roundwood, board-production material, chemical-processing feedstock and fuel-woods. The publication is multilingual (English, French, Russian) and intended to support consistent terminology in trade, technical documentation, inventory control and international communication. The standard has since been withdrawn and its content consolidated into later vocabulary standards for timber and forest products.
Key topics and requirements
- Standardized terms and definitions for logging-industry products (roundwood, pulpwood, fuelwood, etc.).
- Multilingual presentation of vocabulary (English, French, Russian) to support international use.
- Short reference glossary intended for use in commerce, specifications and technical reports.
- Alignment and consolidation pathway into later ISO timber vocabulary standards (replacement and harmonization of older, narrower vocabularies).
Typical use and users
Used by forestry professionals, timber traders, sawmill and pulp-and-paper industry personnel, customs and regulatory agencies, standards committees and translators. Typical uses include preparing specifications, writing technical documentation, performing inventory and trade declarations, training staff in consistent terminology, and harmonizing terms across multilingual contracts and reports.
Related standards
ISO 8966:1987 has been superseded through consolidation into later vocabulary standards for timber and forest products, notably ISO 24294 (first published 2013 and subsequently updated in 2021). Related vocabulary and logging/wood-product standards include ISO 8965 (technology — terms and definitions) and other ISO/TC 218 publications addressing measurement, grading and terminology for round and sawn timber. National adoptions and equivalents (for example, certain GOST/R and national forestry vocabularies) have referenced ISO 8966 historically.
