This document specifies a test method to determine the top layer delamination of multilayer parquet elements according to EN 13489 with different structures, dimensions and adhesives for internal use as flooring, at the time of the first delivery of the product.
The document specifies a test method with three aging-treatments (AT1, AT2 and AT3) of the test specimens.
The test method described in this document allows to determine a top layer bonding quality, also for parquet used on floor heating, and for the identification of bonding failure.
NOTE 1 For bottom layer of three layers elements the test method is applicable even if the experience is limited.
AT1 is a suitable treatment for the prognosis of multilayer parquets under dry indoor conditions and can be applied for all type of glues of parquets. It can be used for main underfloor heating systems.
AT2 is a suitable treatment for the assessment of multilayer parquets with PVAc-glues for top layer bonding.
AT3 is a suitable treatment for the assessment of multilayer parquets with different type of glues other than PVA-c for top layer bonding.
This document does not apply to the bonding quality of plywood if it is in use in the multilayer parquet construction.
NOTE 2 This document does not allow to estimate the compatibility of use in wet conditions.

This European Standard does not apply to: - wood flooring products and parquets specifically manufactured for enhanced tactile and recognition; - bamboo flooring products; - laminate flooring products; - product made with plants such as aloe or cork or coconut. This European Standard covers wood flooring products and parquets with or without paint, varnish, lacquer, wax or oil.

This European Standard covers requirements for single untreated or preservative treated wood poles for overhead lines under cantilever or compression loading (it does not cover poles used as beams). It covers test methods, determination of characteristic values and methods of specifying durability and sizes. It also establishes principles for visual grading.
This European Standard applies to both softwood and hardwood poles.
This European Standard specifies the evaluation of conformity requirements and the marking of wood poles.
This European Standard does not specify wood poles treated against fire to improve their fire performance.
This European Standard does not quantify the service life that may be expected from a wood pole.
NOTE   The service life of a wood pole depends on its geographical location, the associated climate of its service environment and either the natural durability of the heartwood of the species selected, or the combination between selection of species, preservative type, and requirements of retention and any incised zones.

It covers test methods, determination of characteristic values and methods of specifying durability and sizes. It also establishes principles for visual grading. This European Standard applies to both softwood and hardwood poles. This European Standard specifies the evaluation of conformity requirements and the marking of wood poles.
This standard specifies:
-       the methods of measuring the sizes of solid wood poles for overhead transmission and telecommunication lines and permissible deviations that are taken into account for the acceptance of the poles,
-       the requirements for handling and the characteristics for visual strength grading of softwood and hardwood poles. It also specifies the marking requirements,
-       the methods of test to determine characteristic values for modulus of elasticity and bending strength of any population of wood poles, and moisture content of solid wood poles,
-   the requirements for natural durability and preservative treatment of wood poles.

This European Standard specifies methods of determining the bending strength of wood and parquet flooring under static loads: 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.

This Technical Specification specifies the method of control and tests for glue bond performance of lamination and finger jointing processes employed in the production of timber blanks and semi-finished profiles (products) for joinery applications. The methods of control are set out to ensure the durability of the glue line according to the service class. The specific requirements for dimensions, stability and moisture content are given in EN 13307-1.
