Solid wood panels - Classification by surface appearance - Part 1: Softwood
This European Standard specifies general requirements and appearance classes for both single-layer and multi-layer solid wood panels, the latter with a minimum thickness of the outer layers of 3,5 mm, manufactured from softwood species (e.g. spruce, pine, larch).
Massivholzplatten - Klassifizierung nach dem Aussehen der Oberfläche - Teil 1: Nadelholz
Diese Europäische Norm legt für einschichtige und mehrschichtige Massivholzplatten, die aus Nadelhölzern (z.B. Fichte, Kiefer, Lärche) erzeugt wurden, die allgemeinen Anforderungen sowie die Erscheinungs-Klassen fest.
Bois panneautés - Classification selon l'aspect des faces -Partie 1: Bois résineux
La présente norme européenne prescrit les exigences générales et les classes d'aspect des bois panneautés à une couche et multicouches, ces derniers ayant des couches extérieures d'épaisseur au moins égale à 3,5 mm, fabriqués à partir d'essences résineuses (par exemple: epicéa, pin, mélèze).

General Information
Overview
EN 13017-1:2000 - Solid wood panels - Classification by surface appearance - Part 1: Softwood (CEN) defines how single-layer and multi-layer solid wood panels manufactured from softwood species are assessed and classified by their surface appearance. The standard sets general requirements and appearance classes for panels where multi-layer panels have outer layers with a minimum thickness of 3.5 mm. Typical softwood species covered include spruce, pine and larch.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and applicability: Applies to both single-layer and multi-layer solid wood panels produced from softwood species.
- Appearance classification: Establishes appearance classes to describe surface quality of solid wood panels; intended to support consistent visual grading for suppliers and buyers.
- Minimum outer-layer thickness: For multi-layer panels the standard requires a minimum outer layer thickness of 3.5 mm.
- General requirements: Covers the overall framework for inspection, acceptance and classification by surface appearance (e.g., criteria used in visual assessment).
- Surface characteristics (typical considerations): While specific numerical limits are in the standard text, appearance classifications commonly address surface features such as knots, grain, colour variation, and repairs - enabling objective communication about surface quality.
- Documentation and marking: Supports consistent labelling and information exchange between manufacturers, specifiers and purchasers.
Applications
EN 13017-1:2000 is practical for organizations and professionals involved with softwood solid wood panels:
- Manufacturers: to grade and document the surface appearance of production batches and to define product ranges.
- Furniture and joinery producers: to select panels with the appropriate visual class for finished products.
- Architects and interior designers: to specify appearance classes in project documentation and tendering.
- Buyers, quality inspectors and distributors: to verify conformity and make objective purchasing decisions.
- Standards and compliance teams: to align product specifications with European market expectations.
