EN 13226:2009 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 13226:2009) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 175 “Round and sawn timber”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. 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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2009, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by November 2009. 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 supersedes EN 13226:2002. Compared to EN 13226:2002, the following changes have been made: a) New limit deviations for nominal width of the element (5.4.3.1), b) New value for cup (5.4.3.3), c) New value for spring (5.4.3.5), d) Modifications regarding the marking (Clause 6). 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, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

EN 13226:2009 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard is one of a series of standards concerning wood flooring and wood panelling and cladding. This standard specifies the characteristics of solid parquet elements. It is based upon current dimensional standards within the industry and other characteristics together with functions which have been verified by test. A large amount of knowledge exists about solid parquet elements and values for product characteristics are attested by long use and experience. It is therefore not necessary to have test results. For new products technical data will have to be verified by testing. The appearance of the parquet is mainly influenced by species, classification and the pattern. SIST EN 13226:2009

Features shall be measured according to EN 1310 (knots assessed according to the general method of 4.1 in EN 1310:1997). Biodeterioration is measured according to EN 1311. A classification with three appearance classes is specified, designated {, ∆∆∆∆ 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 functional characteristics is acceptable. 5.2.2 Rules for the most commonly used species 5.2.2.1 Quercus spp. (oak) Rules for oak are given in Table 1.

Hardness shall be measured according to EN 1534. The free class covers any classification which the producer wishes to offer or which is requested by the buyer. The proportions or limits of features shall be specifically indicated in the producers' literature/data sheets, in conformity with Annex B and stated according to Table B.1 when it refers to hardwood and according to Table B.2 when it refers to softwood.

NOTE All timber varies in colour when exposed to light over a period of time. 5.3 Moisture content Individual elements shall have a moisture content at the time of the first delivery of the product of between 7 % and 11 %. Chestnut and maritime pine elements shall have a moisture content at the time of the first delivery of the product of between 7 % and 13 %. The moisture content shall be measured with an electric moisture meter in accordance with EN 13183-2. In case of dispute, the moisture content shall be determined by oven-drying in accordance with EN 13183-1. 5.4 Geometrical characteristics 5.4.1 General 5.4.1.1 Forms and dimensions All forms of elements are permitted, provided that their actual dimensions are within the dimensions and permitted deviations specified in this sub-clause. All dimensions are given at a reference moisture content of 9 %, except dimensions for chestnut and maritime pine elements are given at a reference moisture content of 10 %. Unless there is evidence to the contrary, it shall be assumed that the thickness and width of a piece of timber increase by 0,25 % for every 1 % of moisture content above the reference moisture content, and decrease by 0,25 % for every 1 % of moisture content below the reference moisture content. The methods of measurement of geometrical characteristics are given in EN 13647. NOTE Traditionally wood flooring elements to be used for “strip- or brick-pattern flooring“ are manufactured right-handed (except in the case of maritime pine). All the elements shall have the four edges perpendicular to the face or with a maximum slope of 3° (see Figure 1). The arrisses may be chamfered. The back may have (a) glue pocket(s). 5.4.1.2 Dimensional characteristics The following dimensional characteristics given refer to Figures 1 and 2: SIST EN 13226:2009

prEN 13226:2008 (E) 3 Foreword This document (prEN 13226:2008) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 175 “Round and sawn timber”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. This document is currently submitted to the Unique Acceptance Procedure. This document will supersede EN 13226:2002. Compared to EN 13226:2002, the following changes have been made: a) New limit deviations for nominal width of the element (5.4.3.1), b) New value for cup (5.4.3.3), c) New value for spring (5.4.3.5), d) Modifications regarding the marking (Clause 7). In this European Standard the Annex A is informative and the Annex B is normative. kSIST prEN 13226:2009
prEN 13226:2008 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard is one of a series of standards concerning wood flooring and wood panelling and cladding. This standard specifies the characteristics of solid parquet elements. It is based upon current dimensional standards within the industry and other characteristics together with functions which have been verified by test. A large amount of knowledge exists about solid parquet elements and values for product characteristics are attested by long use and experience. It is therefore not necessary to have test results. For new products technical data will have to be verified by testing. The appearance of the parquet is mainly influenced by species, classification and the pattern. kSIST prEN 13226:2009
prEN 13226:2008 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the characteristics of solid parquet elements with grooves and/or tongues for internal use as flooring. This standard is not applicable to panels made from elements for which a separate standard is in course of preparation. This standard covers elements with or without surface treatment. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

5 Specific product requirements 5.1 Wood species A list of the most commonly used species for parquet elements as described in this standard is given in Annex A. 5.2 Appearance 5.2.1 General rules Tables 1 to 9 define the classification relating to appearance rules for the face and for the non-visible parts (back and 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 EN 1310:1997). Biodeterioration is measured according to EN 1311. A classification with three appearance classes is specified, designated {, ∆∆∆∆ 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 functional characteristics is acceptable. 5.2.2 Rules for the most commonly used species 5.2.2.1 Quercus spp. (oak) Rules for oak are given in Table 1.
