EN 12871:2013 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard provides methods for determining performance characteristics for concentrated loads and impact on wood-based panels used for structural floor or roof decking and for impact on wood-based panels used for wall sheathing. This European Standard takes the approach of type testing specific structures. This approach yields an optimised design since the results from the testing shall apply only to one specific design. This revision incorporates experiences from use, adopts the load area for concentrated load defined in EN 1991-1-1 and the evaluation methods from EN 1058.
This European Standard contains an informative annex with proposals for national requirements to the characteristics determined by this European Standard, based on Eurocodes and national annexes. SIST EN 12871:2013

NOTE For concentrated loading, provided that the size of the set-up allows for measurements on and off edge areas, several points can be tested on the same set-up. Therefore, the number of set-ups can be less than the number of test points specified in Table 3. 6 Determination of performance characteristics 6.1 General Recommendations 6.1.1 Dimensional tolerances: length and width When measured in accordance with EN 324-1, at a relative humidity of (65 ± 5) % and a temperature of (20 ± 2) °C, the tolerances on the nominal length and width of the panel should be: + 0,0 mm; - 3,0 mm. 6.1.2 Dimensional tolerances: thickness When measured in accordance with EN 324-1, at a relative humidity of (65 ± 5) % and a temperature of (20 ± 2) °C, the tolerances on the nominal thickness t of the panels should be those given in their own product standards. 6.1.3 Dimensional changes: linear expansion The expansion in either length or width due to a change in ambient relative humidity from 30 % to 85 % at 20 °C should not exceed 4 mm/m when tested in accordance with EN 318. 6.1.4 Discrepancy at joints between panels The acceptable unevenness at the joint between the upper faces of adjoining panels may depend on the overlay material and the end use. NOTE Sanding, at least locally to level minor unevenness, can be required. 6.1.5 Edge profile of tongued and grooved or similar panels The tongue and groove profiles of the supplied panels should be identical to those of the ITT panels. SIST EN 12871:2013
EN 12871:2013 (E) 13 6.2 Structural floor or roof decking on joists 6.2.1 General The weakest point in the floor or roof shall be determined prior to testing. All subsequent tests shall be carried out at this point. NOTE The weakest point of a floor or roof is often mid span on the groove side of a tongued and grooved panel. 6.2.2 Determination of stiffness characteristics (serviceability limit state) for concentrated load The tests for determination of the stiffness and of the deflection shall be carried out according to EN 1195 with the modifications given in Annex A. The mean value of stiffness (Rmean) shall be calculated from the individual R-values, see 7.1. 6.2.3 Determination of the serviceability load corresponding to the elasticity limit When type tested, the serviceability limit state Fser,i of a decking is reached if, on the load deflection curve, a discontinuity, showing irreversible damage, occurs, even if cracks or other damages are not visible. This points to the elasticity limit of the decking. The characteristic value (Fser,k) of the weakest parts of the set-ups is processed from the individual test values (Fser,i) according to 7.1. NOTE 1 In service, the serviceability limit state is reached when visible cracks or other significant changes are found, which can impair the normal function of the floor or roof.
NOTE 2 The serviceability limit state for the concentrated load is not covered by EN 1195. NOTE 3 Fser is critical for panels failing at a low deflection level. If the load-deflection graphs are missing in a EN 1195 test report, Fser,k shall be derived from Fmax,k in accordance with: ser,kmax,k0,7FF= (1) NOTE 4 The factor 0,7 is derived from analysis of European test results, according to EN 1195, on particleboards, OSB, MDF and plywood panels. 6.2.4 Determination of Fmax,k
The test for determination of Fmax shall be carried out according to EN 1195 with the modifications given in Annex A. The characteristic value (Fmax,k) of the weakest parts of the set-ups is processed from the individual test values (Fmax,i) according to 7.1.
6.2.5 Determination of Impact Class for soft body impact 6.2.5.1 General The soft body impact test purports to assess the resistance of the flooring or roofing to actions imposed during the life of the building, excluding the period of construction.
The tests for determination of the performance regarding impact load shall be carried out according to EN 1195. The performance is described by the Impact Cla
