EN 13488, EN 13489, EN 13990, EN 13629, EN 14354 and EN 14761) apply Requirement for wood flooring products and parquets 4.1 Dimensional characteristics Dimensional characteristics of a wood flooring product and parquet shall be in line with those defined in the relevant specific product standard NOTE The equilibrium moisture content and resulting dimensional changes of wood flooring product and parquet are dependent on ambient temperature and relative humidity of the site at the time of installation and on the in-service conditions throughout the service life of the floor 4.2 Reaction to fire The reaction to fire performance of a wood flooring product and parquet, whether treated or not, shall be classified in accordance with EN 13501-1, after being tested in accordance with the test standards given therein and the relevant reaction to fire class declared When tested, the product shall be mounted and fixed in accordance with the same mounting and fixing conditions used for obtaining the classification of products without the need of testing (i.e in accordance with EN ISO 9239-1, on a substrate of at least Class D –s2, d0 (or Class A2 –s1, d0 when glued to substrate) and with minimum density of 400 kg/m or with an air gap underneath For parquet products with 14 mm thickness or more and for veneered floor coverings in applications without air gap, an interlayer of at least class E and with minimum thickness of mm may be included) In case the product meets the requirements given in Table 1) it may be classified without the need for further testing (CWFT) in one of the appropriate classes shown therein In this case, the relevant reaction to fire class shall be declared (together with the corresponding mean density of the product, the overall thickness of the product as well as the end-use conditions) 1) This table is the same as Table in Commission Decision 2006/213/EC of 2006-03-06 (see OJEU L79 of 2006-03-16) BS EN 14342:2013 EN 14342:2013 (E) Table

substances 4.3.1 Release of Formaldehyde 2) When required, formaldehyde release of wood flooring product and parquet shall be determined and declared as a class E1 or E2 according to Annex A Solid wood as such, used for the wood flooring products and parquets, without chemical treatment, adhesive, coating, or finishing, has release of formaldehyde values which are far below the upper limit for class E1 products 4.3.2 Content of pentachlorophenol Wood flooring products and parquets naturally contain no pentachlorophenol (PCP) If the product contains raw materials that may include PCP (e.g softwood treated against blue stain) or when required, then the product shall be tested in accordance with CEN/TR 14823 In case the value of ppm is exceeded, the indication “PCP > ppm" shall be declared In the other case, it is necessary to declare PCP ≤ ppm 4.4 Release of other dangerous substances National regulations on dangerous substances may require verification and declaration on release, and sometimes content, of other dangerous substances, in addition to those dealt with in other clauses, when construction products covered by this standard are placed on those markets In the absence of European harmonised test methods, verification and declaration on release/content should be done taking into account national provisions in the place of use NOTE An informative database covering European and national provisions on dangerous substances is available at the Construction web site on EUROPA accessed through: http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/construction/cpd-ds/ 4.5 Breaking strength If breaking strength of the wood flooring product and parquet is required, it shall be tested for the installation required according to EN 1533 depending on the risk, if any The result shall be expressed and declared in terms of maximum load characteristic value, determined by using a static point load The span of the product, as given in EN 1533 and associated with breaking strength value, shall be declared NOTE This characteristic is only relevant for the self-supporting floorings 4.6 Slip resistance Where subject to regulatory requirements, the slipperiness value shall be determined and declared in accordance with the pendulum test described in CEN/TS 15676 2) Products emitting formaldehyde above class E1 might be prohibited in some Member States BS EN 14342:2013 EN 14342:2013 (E) Annex B (normative) Simplified encoding system for wood flooring Where an encoding system is to be used for the description of the product and the relevant essential characteristics, the followings system shall be used: cell 1: = glued to the substrate; = with air gap underneath; 3= with or without air gap underneath cell : Reaction to fire (treated or not treated) cell 3: Class of the emission of (release) formaldehyde cell 4: To indicate > if the emission of pentachlorophenol exceed ppm cell 5: Breaking strength (max load, kN) cell 6: Span (mm) cell 7: Slipperiness cell 8: Thermal conductivity (W/m K) cell 9: Recommended use class (natural or treated) Where the manufacturer does not wish to declare a value against any characteristic, the corresponding cell shall contain a "NPD", equivalent to "no performance determined" EXAMPLE It applies to a product to be glued and where all regulated characteristics are given for a product intended for internal use The product has also met requirements on the minimum mean density and the minimum overall thickness, thus, its reaction to fire class was taken from Table 1 Dfl-s1 500 / 20 E1 >5 0.2 400 USRV 100 0.17 EXAMPLE It applies to a product to be nailed at the internal use, which is not subject to any regulatory requirements on slipperiness or breaking strength and the product has no pentachlorophenol content The product also has met requirements on the minimum mean density, the minimum overall thickness, thus, its reaction to fire class was taken from Table 20 Dfl-s1 500 / 20 E1 NPD NPD NPD NPD 0.14 BS EN

"Pass" for pass/fail requirements (where necessary), or as "No performance determined" (i.e NPD) for characteristic(s), where this is relevant: 1) reaction to fire: class and sub-class, according to EN 13501-1, together with: i) for CWFT products: the linked minimum mean density, the minimum overall thickness and the end-use conditions to be applied, and ii) the mounting and fixing conditions, for tested products according to relevant test methods given in EN 13501-1; 2) emission (i.e release) of formaldehyde: class E1 or class E2; 3) emission (i.e content) of pentachlorophenol: PCP ≤ ppm or PCP > ppm; 4) release of other dangerous substances: Substance X, in ppm; (where relevant); 5) breaking strength: maximum load (in kN) and span distance (in mm) (when relevant); NOTE Relevant for self-supporting flooring products only 6) slipperiness: slipperiness value (when relevant); 7) thermal conductivity: value (in W/m K), determined or taken from Table (when relevant); 8) durability: i) without preservative treatment (i.e biological durability): use class according to EN 350-1, or ii) with preservative treatment: use class in accordance with EN 335, wood preservative in accordance with EN 599-2, penetration class in accordance with EN 351-1 and retention of preservative in accordance with EN 351-1 The “No performance determined” (NPD) option may not be used for durability of declared essential characteristics and where the essential characteristic is subject to a threshold level Otherwise, the NPD option may be used when and where the essential characteristic, for a given intended use, is not subject to regulatory requirements in the Member State of destination Figure ZA.1 and Figure ZA.2 give examples of the CE marking to be given on the packaging and/or accompanying commercial documents Figure ZA.1 shows an example of the CE marking affixed by the company “Any Co Ltd” in the year 2013 It applies to a product to be nailed at the internal use, which is not subject to any regulatory requirements on slipperiness or breaking strength and the product has no pentachlorophenol content The product also has met requirements on the minimum mean density, the minimum overall thickness and the en-use condition to be applied, thus, its reaction to fire class was taken from Table 28 BS EN 14342:2013 EN 14342:2013 (E) CE marking symbol given in Directive 93/68/EEC
