The full document contains several critical lookup tables used by manufacturers:
The standard applies to softwood lumber (coniferous wood) produced via tangential, radial, or mixed sawing methods. It establishes mandatory shrinkage allowances for thickness and width to compensate for volume loss during the drying process.

: Moisture content must be determined in accordance with GOST 16588 .
: Verification values for actual thickness and width at various moisture levels. Full Text Access
: Nominal dimensions are typically set for moisture levels of 15% or 20% .
: If the wood's moisture content is higher than the standard nominal moisture level, the actual dimensions must be larger than the nominal ones by the established shrinkage value.
