EN 13228:2002 (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 wood flooring elements. It is based upon current dimensionalstandards used in the industry and other characteristics together with functions which have been verified by test.A large amount of knowledge exists about solid wood flooring elements and values for product characteristics areattested by long use and experience. It is therefore not necessary to have test results. For new products technicaldata will have to be verified by testing.The appearance of the wood flooring is mainly influenced by species, classification and the pattern.SIST EN 13228:2003

AnnexA.5.2 Appearance5.2.1 General rulesTables 1 to 6 define the classification relating to appearance rules for the face and for the non-visible parts (backand edges) of an element of the most commonly used species for solid wood flooring as defined in this standard.Features shall be measured according to EN 1310 (knots assessed according to the general method of 4.1 in EN1310:1997). 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. It shall therefore extend to the chamfering1), if any.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.
