Wood-based panels - Sampling, cutting and inspection - Part 2: Initial type testing and factory production control

EN 326-2+A1 specifies methods for internal initial type testing (ITT) and internal factory production control (FPC) as well as external control of wood-based panels for their compliance with EN 13986 and other relevant product specifications. However, it may also apply, at the option of the manufacturer, to wood-based panels applied for non-construction purposes. This European Standard is not applicable for the assessment of compliance with specifications of panels comprised in consignments. In such cases, EN 326-3 applies. For internal factory production control, if required, methods for the assessment of conformity of batches and of production over longer periods are given. For external control, if required, methods for the initial inspection of a factory and initial type testing of a product, and for the surveillance of the factory production control, are given. In the factory production control small test pieces are used. The statistics of evaluation is based on normal distribution.

Holzwerkstoffe - Probenahme, Zuschnitt und Überwachung - Teil 2: Erstprüfung des Produktes und werkseigene Produktionskontrolle

Diese Europäische Norm legt Verfahren für die Erstprüfung des Produktes und die werkseigene Produk-tionskontrolle sowie für die Fremdüberwachung der Übereinstimmung von Holzwerkstoffen mit EN 13986 und anderen relevanten Produktnormen fest. Sie ist jedoch auch anwendbar für Holzwerkstoffe, die nicht zur Verwendung im Bauwesen vorgesehen sind, wenn der Hersteller dies vorsieht.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für die Bewertung der Übereinstimmung mit den Anforderungen bei Platten¬lieferungen. In solchen Fällen gilt EN 326-3.
Für die werkseigene Produktionskontrolle, falls erforderlich, werden Verfahren zur Bewertung der Über-einstimmung bei Chargen und bei der Fertigung über längere Zeiten angegeben.
Für die Fremdüberwachung, falls erforderlich, werden Verfahren zur Erstinspektion eines Werkes und einer Erstprü¬fung des Produktes sowie zur Überwachung der werkseigenen Produktionskontrolle angegeben.
Für die werkseigene Produktionskontrolle werden kleine Prüfköper verwendet. Die statistischen Nachweis-verfahren basieren auf einer Normalverteilung.

Panneaux à base de bois - Echantillonnage, découpe et contrôle - Partie 2 : Essai de type initial et contrôle de la production en usine

La présente Norme Européenne prescrit les méthodes pour les essais internes de type initial (ITT) et pour le contrôle de production interne en usine (CPU) ainsi que le contrôle externe des panneaux à base de bois vis-à-vis des exigences de la norme EN 13986 et des normes d’exigences produits pertinentes concernées. Cependant, la présente norme peut aussi s’appliquer, selon le choix du fabricant, aux panneaux à base de bois qui ne sont pas destinés à la construction.
La présente Norme Européenne ne s’applique pas à l’évaluation de la conformité au regard des  spécifications des caractéristiques des panneaux faisant partie de livraisons. Dans ce cas, l’EN 326-3 s’applique.
Pour le contrôle interne de la production en usine, si nécessaire, les méthodes d’évaluation de la conformité des lots et de la production sur de longues périodes sont indiquées.
Pour le contrôle externe, si nécessaire, les méthodes de l’inspection initiale de l’usine et d’essai de type initial d’un produit, ainsi que les méthodes relatives à la surveillance du contrôle de la production en usine sont indiquées.
Pour le contrôle de production en usine, on utilise des petites éprouvettes. Les statistiques d’évaluation sont basées sur une distribution normale.

Lesne plošče - Vzorčenje, razžagovanje in kontrola - 2. del: Začetno preskušanje tipa in kontrola proizvodnje v obratu

Standard EN 326-2+A1 določa metode za notranje začetno preskušanje tipa (ITT) in notranjo kontrolo proizvodnje v obratu (FPC) ter za zunanjo kontrolo lesnih plošč za preverjanje njihove skladnosti s standardom EN 13986 ter drugimi ustreznimi specifikacijami izdelka. Vendar na željo proizvajalca lahko velja tudi za lesne plošče, ki se uporabljajo za negradbene namene. Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za oceno skladnosti s specifikacijami plošč, zbranih v pošiljkah. V takih primerih se uporablja standard EN 326-3. Po potrebi so za notranjo kontrolo proizvodnje v obratu podane metode za oceno skladnosti serij in proizvodnje v daljšem obdobju. Po potrebi so za zunanjo kontrolo podane metode za začetno kontrolo obrata in začetno preskušanje tipa izdelka ter za nadzor kontrole proizvodnje v obratu. Pri kontroli proizvodnje v obratu se uporabljajo majhni preskusni delčki. Statistika vrednotenja temelji na normalni distribuciji.

This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2015, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by February 2015. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document includes Amendment 1 approved by CEN on 17 July 2014. This document supersedes !EN 326-2:2010". The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated in the text by tags !". !This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association." A revision of EN 326-2:2000 was necessary in order to adapt this standard to the harmonized European Standard EN 13986:2004. Compared to EN 326-2:2000 the following main changes have been made: a) the procedures of initial type testing as well as of factory production control have been adapted to those specified in EN 13986; b) the terminology has been adapted to EN 13986; c) the specification requirement of the lower 5 % value or the upper 95 % value, respectively, is also fulfilled, if all single 30 mean values comply with the specification limit; d) the procedure of evaluation of linear correlations between test results has been improved. This standard is one of a series of European Standards dealing with sampling, cutting and inspection of wood-based panels. The other parts of this series are listed in Clause 2 and in the Bibliography. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

For external control, if required, methods for the initial inspection of a factory and initial type testing of a product, and for the surveillance of the factory production control, are given. In the factory production control small test pieces are used. The statistics of evaluation is based on normal distribution. 2 Normative references !The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
