EN 13489:2002 (E)3ForewordThis document (EN 13489:2002) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN /TC 175, "Round and sawntimber" the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text orby endorsement, at the latest by June 2003, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest byJune 2003.In this European Standard annex A is informative and annex B is normative.According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the followingcountries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain,Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.SIST EN 13489:2003
EN 13489:2002 (E)4IntroductionThis European Standard is one of a series of standards about wood flooring and wood panelling and cladding.This standard specifies the characteristics of multi-layer parquet. It is based upon current dimensional standards usedin the industry and other characteristics together with functions which have been verified by test.A large amount of knowledge exists about multi-layer parquet and values for product characteristics are attested bylong use and experience. It is therefore not necessary to have test results. For new products technical data will haveto be verified by testing. The appearance of the parquet floor is mainly influenced by species, classification and the pattern.SIST EN 13489:2003

Biodeterioration is measured according to EN 1311.A classification with three appearance classes is specified, designated , D and .A classification named « Free class » is based on the principles laid out in Annex B.The material used for the top layer shall be selected hardwood or softwood, fresh and sound without rot, fungus,mould or insect damage. There will be variations from strip to strip, but the total impression of the installed floorshall show a homogeneous character of each classification.To allow for unavoidable classification differences, 3 % of the strips in a batch may be from other classes. Anyadditional strips from other classes are allowed as long as the general impression of the floor is not disturbed.Multi-layer parquet with a mosaic-like pattern shall be classified according to EN 13488.4.4.2 Classification rules for type 1, 2 and 3 parquet4.4.2.1 Rules for the most commonly used species4.4.2.1.1 Quercus spp. (oak)Rules for oak are given in Table 1.SIST EN 13489:2003
