Wood-based panels for use in construction - Characteristics, evaluation of conformity and marking
This document defines wood-based panels for use in construction and specifies the relevant characteristics and the appropriate test methods to determine these characteristics for wood-based panels, unfaced, overlaid, veneered or coated:
· for internal use as structural components in dry conditions ) ;
· for internal (or protected external) use as structural components in humid conditions ) ;
· for external use as structural components ) ;
· for internal use as non-structural components in dry conditions1);
· for internal (or protected external) uses as non structural components in humid conditions2);
· for external use as non-structural components3);
· for use as structural floor decking on joists in dry1) or humid2) or exterior3) conditions;
· for use as structural roof decking on joists in dry1) or humid2) or exterior3) conditions;
· for use as structural wall sheathing on studs in dry1) or humid2) or exterior3) conditions.
It provides for the evaluation of conformity and the requirements for marking these products.
This standard covers wood-based panels in the form of solid wood panels, LVL ) , plywood, OSB, particleboards (chipboards) either resin- or cement-bonded, wet process fibreboards (hardboards, medium boards, softboards) and dry process fibreboards (MDF) for use in construction. They may contain chemical agents to improve their reaction to fire and their resistance to biological attack, e.g. by fungi and insects.
This document is not intended to be applicable to wood-based panels for use in non-constructional applications.

This draft amendment is submitted to CEN members for unique acceptance procedure. It has been drawn up by the Technical Committee
CEN/TC 112.
This draft amendment A1, if approved, will modify the European Standard EN 13986:2004. If this draft becomes an amendment, CEN
members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for inclusion of this amendment
into the relevant national standard without any alteration.
This draft amendment was established by CEN in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made
by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre has
the same status as the official versions.

Foreword
This document (EN 13986:2004/FprA1:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 112
“Wood-based panels”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the Unique Acceptance Procedure.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports basic work requirements of Regulation (EU) No
305/2011(CPR) and the essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Regulation and Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA which is an integral part of this
document.
This document amends EN 13986:2004.
Compared with EN 13986:2004 the following modifications have been made to take into account amendment
of mandate M113 (M444) made after the publication of the current 2004 version of the standard:
a) introduction of “Racking resistance”, “Embedment strength” and “Air permeability” in Tables 1 to 7, as
relevant;
b) introduction of a new sub-clause 4.8 to deal with dangerous substances other than those already covered
in the standard;
c) additional provisions for classification of reaction to fire included in Clause 5, Table 8;
d) Clause 6 and Annex ZA adapted to CEN/BT documents TF N 548 Rev1 and TF N 530 Rev. 2,
respectively, to meet the terminology and requirements of the Construction Products Regulation;
Note: Due to fact that the Framework Partnership Agreement between the Commission and CEN & CENELEC
is not signed yet, there are currently no New Approach Consultants in place for 2014. Therefore the provisions
of CEN-CENELEC Guide 15 cannot be met.
This shall not prevent the processing of draft standards nor the offering of harmonized standards to the
Commission. In particular, draft standards can be sent to vote without Consultant assessment.
This note will be removed from the Foreword of the finalized publication.

4.8 Other dangerous substances
National regulations on dangerous substances may require, when construction products covered by this
standard are placed on those markets, verification and declaration on release, and sometimes on content, of
other substances than those already covered in other clauses of this standard.
In the absence of European harmonized 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/
"
3 Modifications to Clause 5 "Determination of the performance characteristics "
Replace the existing text in 5.8 with the following:
"The class of reaction to fire performance of a wood-based panel (including the additional classification on
smoke production and flaming droplets/particles, if any) shall be determined, classified and declared:
1)
a) either without the need for further testing (CWFT), as given in Table 8 , if the panel meets the material
characteristics and the end use conditions given therein,
b) or based on testing of the panel according to the relevant test methods, given in standards referred to in
EN 13501-1, when the panel does not meet the requirements of Table 8 or where a higher classification
than the one in a) is sought.
When the option b) is applied and where required by the test method, the panels shall be mounted and fixed
in a manner representative of its intended end use.
