Overview - EN 14755:2005 (Extruded particleboards - Specifications)
EN 14755:2005 is a CEN European Standard that specifies requirements for non load‑bearing extruded particleboards intended for use in dry conditions (service class 1 per EN 1995‑1‑1). The standard covers board types produced by extrusion (solid or with tubes) and defines mandatory properties, test methods and factory production control to ensure consistent product quality and safety for interior applications in biological hazard class 1.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and service environment: Boards are suitable only for dry conditions (moisture content corresponding to 20 °C and RH rarely exceeding 65 %) and biological hazard class 1 (EN 335‑3).
- Board types: ES, ET, ESL, ETL (solid/tubed and light/heavier variants) defined by solid density and cheek thickness.
- Mandatory properties:
- Moisture content at dispatch: 5 % to 13 % (EN 322).
- Density tolerance: mean solid density tolerance within a board ±15 % (EN 323).
- Formaldehyde classification: Class E1 or E2 (perforator method EN 120 or emission EN 717‑1). E1 example: perforator ≤ 8 mg/100 g or steady state emission ≤ 0.124 mg/m3.
- Mechanical properties: Minimum bending strength and tensile/internal bond values depend on board type and thickness (see standard Table 2). Test methods referenced in Annex A (EN 310, EN 319).
- Dimensional stability and swelling: Methods and acceptance criteria for thickness and linear swelling after water immersion (EN 317).
- Factory production control (FPC): Required per EN 326‑2 with specified test intervals (e.g., moisture content and formaldehyde testing frequently; density and strength at defined intervals).
- Marking: Each panel/package must be indelibly marked with manufacturer ID, EN 14755 reference, panel type, nominal thickness, formaldehyde class and batch/week.
Applications and practical value
EN 14755:2005 is used to specify and verify extruded particleboards for interior, non‑load bearing uses such as furniture components, internal linings, partition panels and other dry‑condition applications where lightweight or hollow extruded panels are advantageous. Compliance ensures predictable mechanical behaviour, formaldehyde emissions control and traceability through marking and FPC.
Who would use this standard
- Manufacturers of extruded particleboards (production, quality control)
- Product specifiers, architects and interior designers specifying non‑structural panels
- Testing laboratories and conformity assessment bodies
- Procurement officers and regulators requiring EN‑compliant materials

The EN 14755:2005 standard, titled "Extruded particleboards - Specifications," offers a comprehensive framework for the production and quality assurance of non load-bearing extruded particleboards intended for use in dry conditions. This standard is crucial for manufacturers and consumers alike, as it clearly delineates the requirements for these materials, ensuring that they meet established performance criteria. One of the key strengths of EN 14755:2005 is its precise definition of applicable conditions, notably the stipulation that the particleboards must be used in environments that align with service class 1 as outlined in EN 1995-1-1. The emphasis on a moisture content correlating to controlled environments-specifically a temperature of 20°C and variable humidity levels-is vital for promoting the longevity and performance of the boards. By specifying that these materials are only suitable for biological hazard class 1, the standard also enhances safety considerations, reducing the risk of adverse biological reactions in relevant applications. Furthermore, the standard establishes a clear set of specifications that facilitates the production of extruded particleboards, which can significantly contribute to uniformity and quality across the industry. This is particularly important in the context of increasing environmental awareness and demand for sustainable materials, as the extruded process often results in efficient use of wood resources.
