| Sumari: | Timber is perhaps one of the building materials with a meager and insufficient regulations (standards and testing methods) from the practical an professional point of view, and it is considered so by the professional from Mediterranean countries. In this context the publication of a set of standards for uses and testing, for laboratory purposes, which is common for the entire European Community should not only be of interest to those directly involved but for those producers aiming to commercialize their products in Europe, which will not be possible without making that type of tests. Testing set of this kind implies a very different concept of wood a a structural material unlike anything done elsewhere. This new methodology I called a “new approach” and it is aimed at increasing safety in the use of timber and greater requirement in the testing facilities. This paper detail the main points of this “new approach” without trying to be exhaustive but intending highlight those points.
