THIS CERTIFICATE REPLACES
CERTIFICATE No 90/2387
AND RELATES TO CAMPLATE
NAILED PLATE TIMBER
FASTENERS.
The fasteners are steel plates
perforated with rows of holes
through which the specified
nails are driven, used to
connect the members of
internally used framed timber
structural components (such as
trusses) at any angle within the
same plane.
Timber joints are fabricated
under site or factory conditions.

6 Identification
The fasteners are stamped with the manufacturers
identification mark, and are packed in boxes
bearing the BBA identification mark incorporating
the number of this Certificate.
Design Data
7 General
7.1 Camplate Nailed Plate Timber Fasteners have
been assessed generally in accordance with the
requirements of MOAT No 16 : 1979. The fasteners
are suitable for use in making joints in timber framed
structures. The companys prescribed methods of
applying the fasteners are considered satisfactory.
Dimensions
8 Timber species
Camplate fasteners are used in sawn or planed,
treated, stress graded timber of minimum specified
thickness of 35 mm, 0 1 mm divergence
throughout a member (when measured at 20 %
moisture content) of the following species:
European whitewood
European redwood
hem-fir
spruce-pine-fir
Eastern Canadian spruce (princess spruce)
Western white spruce.
9 Structural performance
5.1 The strength of timber is influenced by
the duration of loading. A similar effect
applies to timber joints, except where the
strength of the fastener is the limiting factor. In
accordance with the procedures recommended in
BS 5268 : Part 2 : 1996 or BS 5268 : Part 3 :

Lateral resistance
9.5 The lateral resistance of a fastener depends
upon:
number of effective nails in the joint
species of timber and its moisture content
duration of load
direction of bearing of the nail with respect to the
grain of the timber.

9.8 The permissible lateral load for medium-, shortand very short-term duration of load should be
obtained in accordance with BS 5268 : Part 2 :
1996 by modifying the long-term permissible loads
given in Tables 2 and 3 by the following factors:
Medium term
(eg dead + snow,
dead + temporary imposed)
1.25
Short term
(eg dead + imposed + wind1)
dead + imposed + snow + wind)

16 Other investigations
16.1 As part of the assessment resulting in the
issue of the previous Certificate, the following
investigations were made:
(1) The permissible loads, derived from the tests
referred to above, were compared with the
estimated maximum loads to cause a joint slip
of 0.8 mm. These latter load values, however,
were consistently higher than those based on
maximum load values. In general, the maximum
initial slip in joints in tension, at the permissible
long-term loads, will not be greater than 0.3 mm
and the average initial slip not greater than
0.2 mm.
13 Practicability of installation
The fasteners are easy to install using equipment
normally employed for truss fabrication.
14 Durability
14.1 The fasteners have a zinc coating (see
section 4) which will give adequate protection
against corrosion in covered and generally
unheated situations (service Class 2 as defined in
BS 5268 : Part 2 : 1996). See also section 12.
Technical Investigations
The following is a summary of the technical
investigations carried out on Camplate Nailed
Plate Timber Fasteners.
15 Tests
As part of the assessment resulting in the issue of
previous Certificates:
(1) Tests were carried out on 180 full-size
structural joints, assembled using the commercial
equipment normally employed. The results were
assessed to determine the permissible loads and
stresses for the fasteners.
