Introduction
This document is one of a series of standards about wood flooring and wood panelling and cladding.
This document specifies the characteristics of multi-layer parquet. It is based upon current dimensional
standards used in the industry and other characteristics together with functions that have been verified
by test.
A large amount of knowledge exists about multi-layer parquet and values for product characteristics are
attested by long use and experience. It is therefore not necessary to have test results. For new products
technical data will have to be verified by testing.
The appearance of the parquet floor is mainly influenced by species, classification and the pattern.
1 Scope
This document specifies the characteristics, requirements and test methods of multi-layer parquet
elements for internal use as flooring.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 13756 and the following apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminology databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

3.1
multi-layer parquet
wood flooring system of laminated construction with a solid wood top layer of at least 2,5 mm thickness
and additional layer(s) as a core/backing constituted of wood based and/or lignified material of more or
equal to 75 % in mass
Note 1 to entry: 2-layer and 3-layer parquet are specific variants of multilayer parquet. 2-layer parquet consists
of top layer and core layer made of solid wood, wood based panels or combinations of them. Additionally, a veneer
or a secondary wood based panel is applied as backing in 3-layer parquet.

element
smallest individual piece or the smallest piece as delivered prior to installation
[SOURCE: EN 13756:2018, 4.1]
3.3
top layer
finished or unfinished upper wood layer, intended to be the visible side when the floor is installed

smallest single item forming the top layer of each element
4 Requirements
4.1 Technical requirements
4.1.1 General
The element shall be precisely machined, properly sanded and shall have tongue and/or groove on all
sides, or integral locking profile. The tongue may be detachable.
The laying instructions shall be supplied or made available by the producer/supplier.
NOTE 1 The cross laminated construction minimizes the possibility of the wood to move (shrink and swell)
under changing climatic conditions.
NOTE 2 Optical and slight mechanical changes of surface may occur, but do not limit the usage.
NOTE 3 Low use frequency combined with climate changes may lead to slight creaking effects on floated installed
multilayer parquet.
4.1.2 Moisture content
The moisture content shall be between 5 % and 9 % at the time of the first delivery of the product.
The only suitable method of measurement for moisture content for multi-layer parquet is given in
EN 13183-1 (oven-dry method).
NOTE 1 EN 13183-2 (electrical method) can only provide an estimation of the moisture content.
NOTE 2 Depending on the construction of multilayer parquet (e.g. the amount and type of glue, type of core
board, etc.), the equilibrium moisture content at the same climate conditions differ to solid wood.
4.1.3 Dimensional characteristics and limit deviations
Dimensional characteristics and permitted deviations of dimensions of elements at all points at the time
of the first delivery of the product are shown in Table 1.
Measurement of geometrical characteristics shall be done according to EN 13647.
Table 1 — Dimensional characteristics and limit deviations of element
Dimension
Characteristics Limit deviations
characteristic
Top layer thickness ≥ 2,5 mm ---
Permitted deviation of length --- ±0,1 %
Permitted deviation of width --- ±0,2 mm
Lipping ---
≤ 0,2 mm
(between elements)
Permitted deviation of squareness --- ≤ 0,2 % over the width
Cup ---
≤ 0,2 % over the width
(across the element)
Spring ---
≤ 0,1 % over the length
(across the element)
For elements of width ≤ 90 mm and length ≤ 700 mm, squareness should be ≤ 0,1 % and cup ≤ 0,3 %.
Due to process in production, the deviation of declared top layer thickness can be ± 0,2 mm but the
thickness shall be never less than 2,5 mm.
4.1.4 Hardness
Values for wood hardness shall be determined by the test defined in EN 1534.
NOTE In EN 1534:2020, Annex A, a list of HB of typical wood species is available.
4.1.5 Finishing
The surface treatment used and any artificial change of the natural wood
