Overview
EN 1195:1997 - "Timber structures - Test methods - Performance of structural floor decking" (adopted as SIST EN 1195:2000) is a CEN test standard that defines how to determine the performance of structural floor decking made from timber products when subjected to specified loading. The scope covers decking constructed from boards, laminated boards or wood‑based panel products supported on timber joists, and addresses behaviour under both concentrated static loads (e.g., people, furniture, equipment) and impact loads (e.g., human motion).
Key Topics
- Test methods for evaluating the structural performance of timber floor decking.
- Assessment of decking under specified concentrated static load and specified impact load.
- Coverage of decking types: solid boards, laminated boards and wood‑based panel products supported on timber joists.
- Measurement goals typically include load capacity, resistance to impact, and serviceability indicators such as deflection and durability under dynamic actions (standard defines how these are measured; consult the full text for procedures).
- Standardization intent: provide reproducible, comparable test results to assess performance and support design, certification and quality control.
Applications
Who uses EN 1195:
- Structural and timber engineers validating floor system performance.
- Flooring and panel manufacturers developing or certifying timber decking products.
- Independent testing laboratories performing conformity and product performance tests.
- Architects and specifiers selecting timber floor systems for residential and commercial buildings.
- Building control authorities and certification bodies evaluating compliance with performance requirements.

The EN 1195:1997 standard, titled "Timber structures - Test methods - Performance of structural floor decking," provides valuable guidance for evaluating the integrity and functionality of floor decking systems in timber constructions. This standard's scope encompasses specified test methods designed to measure the performance of structural floor decking when subjected to concentrated static loads, such as those imposed by individuals, furniture, and equipment, as well as specified impact loads arising from human motion. One of the chief strengths of EN 1195:1997 lies in its comprehensive approach to testing various decking materials, including solid boards, laminated boards, and wood-based panel products. By taking into account different types of materials and construction methods, the standard ensures applicability across a spectrum of timber structures, enabling manufacturers, architects, and builders to adhere to uniform testing protocols. Moreover, the standard's focus on both static and dynamic loads is particularly relevant in today's construction environment, where user safety and building performance are of paramount importance. This dual approach not only helps in assessing the load-bearing capabilities of the decking under normal conditions but also prepares for transient conditions that can arise due to human activity. Furthermore, EN 1195:1997 contributes to the assurance of quality and safety in timber structures, facilitating compliance with regulatory requirements and helping to bolster consumer confidence in timber flooring solutions. As a result, the relevance of this standard extends beyond mere compliance; it supports the broader goal of sustainability in construction by promoting the effective use of timber resources. The document name SIST EN 1195:2000 indicates an update, ensuring that the standard remains current and reflects advancements in testing methodologies and material science. Overall, the EN 1195:1997 standard serves as a cornerstone for professionals in the timber industry who aim to maintain best practices in the assessment of structural floor decking performance.
