EN 13629:2002 (E)4IntroductionThis standard is one of a series of standards about wood flooring and wood panelling and cladding.This standard specifies the characteristics of solid hardwood flooring boards and pre-assemblies thereof. It is basedupon current dimensional standards used in the industry and other characteristics together with functions which havebeen verified by test.A large amount of knowledge exists about solid pre-assembled hardwood flooring boards and values for productcharacteristics are attested by long use and experience. It is therefore not necessary to have test results. For newproducts technical data will have to be verified by testing.The appearance of the wood flooring is mainly influenced by species, classification and the pattern.SIST EN 13629:2003

This element has parallel sides, is machined to a regular thickness and profile(s) withprofiled edges and ends, and is capable of being assembled with other analogous elements (see Figure 1) Figure 1 — Solid pre-assembled hardwood board3.2strip the smallest single item forming the pre-assembled board3.3thickness above the groovethickness between the face and any discontinuity such as a change in the profile (excluding chamfering), agroove/glue pocket or a glue line (excluding the glue line of dove-tail joints)4 Specific product requirements4.1 Wood species The main species used for solid pre-assembled hardwood boards are European ash, oak, European beech, maple,birch, cherry and tropical hardwoods. Other hardwood species can be used provided that they meet the requirementsof this standard.A list of the most commonly used hardwood species for wood flooring as described in this standard is given inAnnex A.4.2 Finishing The product may be delivered with a factory applied surface coating which allows the product to be taken into useimmediately after installation. The surface treatment used and any artificial change of the natural wood colour shall bestated in the product description.SIST EN 13629:2003

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 face shall include all the visible surface of the element.The face shall be free from shake and the wood shall be sound.Any continuous glue joint which allows renovation without significantly changing the appearance or the functionalcharacteristics is acceptable.SIST EN 13629:2003
