CEN/TC 175/WG 3 - Specific user requirements

This document defines and specifies for wood and parquet flooring the relevant characteristics and the appropriate test methods to determine these characteristics for internal use as flooring. It also applies to wood veneer floor coverings.

This CEN/TS specifies the factory production control of timber blanks and semi-finished profiles for non structural uses as well as tests which are useful.

This EN defines characteristics of vertical finger and module brick of solid wood parquet.

This European standard specifies the characteristics of solid pre-assembled hardwood boards with grooves and/or tongues for internal use as flooring.
This standard covers solid hardwood pre-assembled boards with or without surface treatment.

This European Standard specifies methods of measuring the geometrical characteristics of wood and parquet flooring and wood panelling and cladding elements.
This European Standard does not specify sampling, which is intended to be found in the product standards or test methods and it does not apply to elements which are installed.

This European Standard specifies the characteristics of solid wood overlay flooring including blocks with an interlocking system for internal use as flooring. It applies to elements. This standard does not apply to panels made from elements, for which a separate standard ) is in course of preparation.
This standard covers elements without surface treatment.

This European Standard specifies a method, derived from the BRINELL test, for determining the resistance to indentation of wood and parquet flooring.

This European Standard specifies two methods of determining the bending properties of wood and parquet flooring: a method with a static line load and a method with a static point load. The methods apply to wood and parquet flooring installed on a non-continuous support and thus assuming static load-bearing conditions. In this standard, the following properties are dealt with: - bending stiffness; - bending capacity; - maximum load.

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.

This prestandard specifies two alternative test methods to determine the resistance to wear of lacquered wood floorings and one method to test the elasticity of the lacquer.

This European Standard specifies the characteristics of solid vertical and wide finger as well as Module brick including the laying units made of softwood or hardwood for internal use as flooring. This standard covers products without surface treatments.
This standard covers also treated or untreated elements.

This standard specifies the method to be used to determine the characteristics and classify the appearance quality of timber in joinery. This standard applies to all complete items of joinery such as doors, windows and staircases,  or to individual parts. It includes solid, finger-jointed, edged-jointed and laminated joinery.
