EN 15534-4:2014

Composites made from cellulose-based materials and thermoplastics (usually called wood-polymer composites (WPC) or natural fibre composites (NFC)) - Part 4: Specifications for decking profiles and tiles

This European Standard specifies the characteristics of decking profiles and tiles made from cellulose-based materials and thermoplastics, usually called wood-polymer composites (WPC) or natural fibre composites (NFC), for external use.
This part of EN 15534 is applicable to extruded profiles but also to tiles manufactured by other plastics processing techniques, e.g. injection moulding.
It is not applicable to kits (i.e. support rail profiles, cover strip profiles and hardware) which are out of the scope of this part of EN 15534.
EN 15534 1 specifies the test methods relevant to this part of EN 15534.
NOTE 1   For load bearing applications, modification factors for bending properties are defined in CEN/TS 15534-2 [1].
NOTE 2   For editorial reasons, in EN 15534 the abbreviation "WPC" is used for "composites made from cellulose-based materials and thermoplastics".

Verbundwerkstoffe aus cellulosehaltigen Materialien und Thermoplasten (üblicherweise Holz-Polymer-Werkstoffe (WPC) oder Naturfaserverbundwerkstoffe (NFC) genannt) - Teil 4: Anforderungen an Profile und Formteile für Bodenbeläge

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Eigenschaften von Profilen und Formteilen für Bodenbeläge, die aus cellulosehaltigen Materialien und Thermoplasten hergestellt sind, üblicherweise Holz-Polymer-Werkstoffe (WPC, en: wood-polymer composites) oder Naturfaserverbundwerkstoffe (NFC, en: natural fibre composites) genannt, für Anwendungen im Außenbereich fest.
Dieser Teil von EN 15534 gilt für extrudierte Profile, sowie für Formteile, die durch andere Kunststoffverarbeitungs-Verfahren, z. B. Spritzguss, hergestellt wurden.
Dieser Teil gilt nicht für Bausätze (d. h. Unterkonstruktionen, Profile für Deckleisten und Beschläge), die außerhalb des Anwendungsbereichs dieses Teils von EN 15534 liegen.
EN 15534 1 legt die für diesen Teil von EN 15534 zutreffenden Prüfverfahren fest.
ANMERKUNG   Aus redaktionellen Gründen wird in EN 15534 die Abkürzung „WPC” für „Verbundwerkstoffe aus Cellulosehaltigen Materialien und Thermoplasten“ verwendet.

Composites à base de matières cellulosiques et de thermoplastiques (communément appelés composites bois-polymères (WPC) ou composites fibres d'origine naturelle (NFC)) - Partie 4: Spécifications relatives aux lames et dalles pour platelage

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les caractéristiques des lames et des dalles pour platelage à base de matières cellulosiques et de thermoplastiques, communément appelées composites bois-polymères (WPC) ou composites fibres d'origine naturelle (NFC), destinées à être utilisées à l'extérieur.
La présente partie de l’EN 15534 est applicable aux lames extrudées mais aussi aux dalles fabriquées par d'autres techniques de transformation des plastiques, par exemple le moulage par injection.
Elle n’est pas applicable aux kits (c'est-à-dire aux profilés pour barres d'appui, couvre-joints et quincaillerie) qui ne relèvent pas du domaine d'application de la présente partie de l'EN 15534.
L’EN 15534 1 spécifie les méthodes d'essai pertinentes pour la présente partie de l'EN 15534.
NOTE   Pour des raisons éditoriales, dans l'EN 15534, l'abréviation « WPC » est utilisée pour « matériaux composites à base de matières cellulosiques et de thermoplastiques ».

Kompoziti iz materialov na celulozni podlagi in plastomerov (navadno imenovani lesno-polimerni kompoziti (WPC) ali kompoziti iz naravnih vlaken (NFC)) - 4. del: Specifikacije za profile in ploščice talnih oblog

Standard EN 15534-4 določa lastnosti profilov in ploščic talnih oblog za zunanjo uporabo iz materialov na celulozni podlagi in plastomerov, navadno imenovanih lesno-polimerni kompoziti (WPC) ali kompoziti iz naravnih vlaken (NFC). Ta del standarda EN 15534 velja za ekstrudirane profile in tudi za ploščice, izdelane z drugimi postopki obdelave plastike, npr. vbrizgavanjem. Ne velja za komplete (npr. pomožni tirni profili, prekrivni profili in železnina), ki niso zajeti v tem delu standarda EN 15534. Standard EN 15534-1 določa preskusne metode, ki se nanašajo na ta del standarda EN 15534.
