Overview of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) and Timber Structure Standards Across the World 

This paper reviews design standards for CLT and associated timber structures from Europe, North America, Japan, South Africa, Brazil, Australia and China, with recommendations for future development of CLT standardisation (recognising that multiple standards have been developed with minimal harmonisation). Current versions of each are briefly outlined, with the potential application of existing standards in those countries yet to adopt a CLT standard. This review can be a useful resource for researchers, manufacturers, companies, and investors.
