SIST EN 326-2:2011/FprA1:2014

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

This European Standard 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.

Overview

SIST EN 326-2:2011/FprA1:2014 is a European standard developed by CEN (European Committee for Standardization) that specifies essential methods for the internal initial type testing (ITT) and factory production control (FPC) of wood-based panels. This standard ensures wood-based panels comply with EN 13986 and other relevant product specifications, supporting quality assurance within the wood panel manufacturing industry. Although primarily targeting construction materials, manufacturers may apply this standard optionally to panels used for non-construction purposes as well.

This amendment (FprA1:2014) updates and refines certain production control procedures, including formulas used in factory production control by variables for batch production, to enhance consistency and accuracy in manufacturing processes.

Key Topics

• Initial Type Testing (ITT): Procedures to verify that wood-based panels meet required product specifications before mass production begins. ITT focuses on material properties, durability, and safety compliance.
• Factory Production Control (FPC): Ongoing monitoring and control within the manufacturing process to ensure consistent product quality and maintain compliance with EN 13986.
• Sampling and Cutting: Standardized methods for sampling and cutting panels to support accurate testing and inspection results.
• External and Internal Control: Guidelines for both manufacturer-led internal inspections and third-party external verification to corroborate product compliance.
• Amendment Highlights: Updates to formulae in factory production control procedures enhance statistical evaluation for batch production quality assurance.

Applications

This standard is critical for manufacturers and quality control professionals involved in the production of various wood-based panels such as:

• Particleboards
• Fiberboards
• Plywood panels
• Oriented strand boards (OSB)

SIST EN 326-2:2011/FprA1:2014 is vital for ensuring wood-based panels meet safety, durability, and performance requirements in applications including:

• Construction: Structural elements, flooring, walls, insulation boards, and other load-bearing or functional components used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
• Furniture Manufacturing: Quality control in panels used for cabinetry, shelving, and other furniture components.
• Non-Construction Uses: Manufacturers may adopt this standard for panels intended for decorative or other specialized purposes, ensuring consistency and reliability.

Implementing this standard helps reduce manufacturing defects, optimizes production efficiency, and supports compliance with European regulations, enhancing product acceptance across markets.

Related Standards

• EN 13986 – Specifies performance requirements for wood-based panels used in construction, defining essential characteristics like mechanical strength and emission levels.
• EN 326-1 – Covers sampling, cutting, and inspection procedures focusing on routine tests and continuous control.
• EN 315 – Details requirements for particleboards, including dimensional tolerances.
• EN 313 – Addresses plywood panels, ensuring conformity in mechanical and physical properties.

By aligning with these interconnected standards, manufacturers can maintain comprehensive quality assurance systems and meet evolving European market regulations for wood-based panel products.

This draft amendment is submitted to CEN members for unique acceptance procedure. It has been drawn up by the Technical Committee
CEN/TC 112.
This draft amendment A1, if approved, will modify the European Standard EN 326-2:2010. If this draft becomes an amendment, CEN
members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for inclusion of this amendment
into the relevant national standard without any alteration.

This draft amendment was established by CEN in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made
by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre has
the same status as the official versions.
