Overview
EN 15534-5:2014 is the CEN European Standard that specifies performance and declaration requirements for cladding profiles and tiles made from cellulose-based materials and thermoplastics - commonly called wood‑polymer composites (WPC) or natural fibre composites (NFC). The standard covers products for external or internal use, applies primarily to extruded profiles and also to tiles produced by other plastics processing techniques (e.g. injection moulding). It does not cover support rails, cover strips or fastener devices. Test methods relevant to EN 15534-5 are given in EN 15534-1.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Material declaration
- Manufacturer must declare base polymer and type/content of cellulose-based material; recycled/reprocessable inputs are permitted if compliant.
- Initial type testing and factory production control
- Initial type testing is required and must be repeated after material, geometry or process changes. Annex A sets minimum testing frequencies for production control.
- Appearance and dimensional control
- Visual matching to a control sample, and dimensional tolerances (thickness, width, length, straightness, cupping) must be declared by the manufacturer.
- Mechanical performance
- Falling mass impact resistance: specified test parameters (H = 1000 mm, Ms = 500 g); no more than 1 failure per 10 specimens.
- Flexural properties: deflection under 250 N ≤ 5.0 mm (mean); bending span declared by manufacturer.
- Durability and weathering
- Biological resistance: use classes defined (internal/covered = Class 2; external above ground = Class 3), with basidiomycetes relevant for external use; test results to be declared.
- Artificial weathering: declared colour/appearance change (tests such as EN ISO 4892-2, EN 927-6, EN 16472 specified).
- Moisture resistance: cyclic moisture tests and swelling/water-absorption limits (mean swelling ≤ 10% thickness; mean water absorption ≤ 8% by weight).
- Thermal
- Linear thermal expansion coefficient limit (use class 3): ≤ 50 × 10−6 K−1; additional thermal tests (heat reversion, heat build-up) when applicable.
- Additional declared characteristics
- Manufacturer must declare any extra properties required by customers, regulators or third parties (e.g. natural ageing results, appearance criteria).
Applications and who uses this standard
- Manufacturers of WPC/NFC cladding profiles and tiles for product specification, design verification and factory production control.
- Specifiers and architects selecting durable, low‑maintenance cladding for façade, soffit or internal wall applications.
- Test laboratories performing EN 15534-1 test methods tied to Part 5 requirements.
