I wonder... It does concern the aged condition of the mast. :)
Pernille Kienle Jun 24, 2013:
I like Gitte's suggestion :)
Eva Petersson Jun 24, 2013:
So then it most likely goes about "putrefaction" or "rot", as Gitte puts it.
Andrew Alix (asker) Jun 24, 2013:
Sorry. It is rådklasse
Eva Petersson Jun 24, 2013:
In your question you write "rådklasse" but when you give "more info" you write "råklasse". Which should it be?
"Råd" can have the meaning putrefaction which I think is what it goes about. (But "råd" could also mean intention; then it could mean what they are intended for when it comes to the reuse.)

Paragraph - not much help Eldistribution udskifter eventuelle træmaster i rådklasse 4 inden overdragelsen. Parterne er enige om, at
Master i form af gittermaster og betonmaster vil svare til træmaster i rådklasse 1-3. På denne baggrund er
Parterne enige om, at der ikke vil være rådklasse 4 Master blandt Masterne.
Andrew Alix (asker) Jun 24, 2013:
More context Sorry. It occurs as a heading of a table and the column states:
råklasse 1, råklasse 2, råklasse 3, råklasse 3
The el poles are wood masts or concrete lattice mast and are removed from use and must be classified into the above classes for reuse.
Pernille Kienle Jun 24, 2013:
More context please Can you show an entire paragraph perhaps?

Selected

rot class

råd = rot (as in 'dry rot' or 'wood rot'), so it must be some indication of how badly the mast/poles have rotted.

Not everything needs to be put into a glossary. So many things are context-specific, and this is not a difficult one to 'reconstruct' anyway. :)
Note from asker:
I selected this answer, not because it was the only answer, but because it best describes the condition of the masts.
I really do think this is it. I'm afraid to put it in the glossary though. Thanks
Something went wrong...
