Wood-based panels - Determination of formaldehyde release - Part 2: Small-scale chamber method (ISO 12460-2:2024)
SIST EN ISO 12460-2:2025

This document specifies a procedure for a chamber test with different options of chamber sizes to measure the formaldehyde concentrations in air from wood products under defined test conditions of temperature, relative humidity, loading and air exchange rate.
Results obtained from this small-scale chamber test method can be used for quality control (factory production control – ‘FPC’) based on correlation established by reference chamber test methods according to ISO, EN or ASTM standards. The establishment of a correlation is described in Annex D.

Wood-based panels - Determination of characteristic 5-percentile values and characteristic mean values
SIST EN 1058:2025

On the basis of test results from wood-based panel products for structural purposes, this document specifies a method for the determination of:
-   characteristic 5-percentile values of mechanical properties under the assumption of a log-normal distribution of the test data according to EN 14358; and
-   characteristic mean values (50-percentile values) of physical properties under the assumption of a normal distribution of the test data according to EN 14358.
Test data can be determined from tests using the test methods outlined in the test standard EN 789 or other relevant test standard, performance standard or product standard normatively referring to EN 1058.
NOTE   See e.g. EN 1195 and EN 12871.
The statistical evaluation follows the principles of EN 1990:2023 , Annex D of EN 1995-1-1:2004  and of EN 14358:2016.

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 external3) conditions;
-   for use as structural roof decking on joists in dry1) or humid2) or external3) conditions;
-   for use as structural wall sheathing on studs in dry1) or humid2) or external3) conditions.
   It provides for the evaluation of conformity and the requirements for marking these products.
This document 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 European Standard is not applicable for the assessment of compliance with specifications of panels comprised in consignments. In such cases, EN 326-3 applies.
For internal factory production control, if required, methods for the assessment of conformity of batches and of production over longer periods are given.
For external control, if required, methods for the initial inspection of a factory and initial type testing of a product, and for the surveillance of the factory production control, are given.
In the factory production control small test pieces are used. The statistics of evaluation is based on normal distribution.
