The calculation of bending strength shall take account the requirements of D.1. No test result shall be less than the declared level. 4.3.5 Water vapour transmission Water vapour transmission properties of wood wool products including facings and coatings shall be determined in accordance with EN 12086 and declared as the water vapour diffusion resistance factor, µ, for homogeneous products and as the water vapour resistance, Z, for faced or non-homogeneous products. No test result of µ shall be greater than the declared value and no test result of Z shall be less than the declared value. In the absence of measurements, the water vapour diffusion resistance factor, µ, of wood wool products, either unfaced or faced with
