General Information
Overview
EN 12775:2001 - Solid wood panels - Classification and terminology - is a European (CEN) standard that establishes a classification scheme for solid wood panels and defines the key terms and vocabulary used for these products. The standard harmonizes terminology across languages and national publications (e.g., the Slovenian adoption SIST EN 12775:2004), supporting consistent communication in manufacturing, specification, testing and trade of solid wood panels.
Keywords: EN 12775, solid wood panels, classification, terminology, CEN, wood technology, vocabularies
Key Topics
The standard focuses on clear, consistent definitions and a classification framework for solid wood panels. Core topics covered include:
- Classification principles for solid wood panels to enable consistent product grouping and identification.
- Terminology and definitions that standardize the vocabulary used by manufacturers, specifiers and testing bodies.
- Scope and application describing where the classification and terms apply within wood technology and industry practice.
- Multilingual alignment and references (the document appears alongside translations and national adoptions).
Document metadata: ICS codes 79.060.99 (Other wood-based panels) and 01.040.79 (Wood technology - Vocabularies), CEN reference EN 12775:2001 and national adoption SIST EN 12775:2004.
Applications
EN 12775 is practical for anyone working with solid wood panels who needs unambiguous definitions and a shared classification system:
- Manufacturers - to label, describe and classify products consistently for internal quality control and external sales.
- Product designers and specifiers (architects, furniture designers, engineers) - to select and specify panel types using standardized terminology.
- Procurement and supply chain - to write clear purchase specifications and contracts that reduce ambiguity in product requirements.
- Testing laboratories and conformity bodies - to ensure reporting and documentation use consistent terms.
- Standards committees and regulators - to harmonize national rules and facilitate trade across European markets.
Using EN 12775 reduces misinterpretation, supports interoperability across countries, and aids in product comparison and regulatory compliance.
