Dear Roslina,
Singapore has very limited existing standards on timber - only 1 standard and 2

codes of practice and they are:
1. SS 72: 1988 Treatment of timber and plywood with copper/chrome/arsenic wood
preservatives.
Specifies requirements for the treatment of timber plywood or veneer with waterborne wood preservations which consists essentially of mixtures of copper,
chromium and arsenic. Includes list of the most used C-C-A formulations.
2. CP (Code of Practice) 1: 1982 The use of timber in building
3. CP (Code of Practice) 7: 1997 Structural use of timber
Among them, only CP 7 is regulated by the BCA (Building and Construction Authority)
for structural design. However, it is applicable for buildings only, not furniture.
Best regards
Dennis

Kenneth - Thank you very much for the information.
