EN 14915 Solid wood panelling and cladding – Characteristics, evaluation of conformity and marking
1 Scope
This European Standard defines and specifies the relevant characteristics and the appropriate test methods to determine these characteristics for products (including sidings) used in solid wood panelling and cladding for:
wall and ceiling panelling for internal use;
wall and ceiling cladding for external uses.
It provides for the evaluation of conformity and the requirements for marking these products.
The products are not evaluated for stiffening functions.
This European Standard covers treated as well as untreated wood and it covers finger jointed and edge glued products.
This European Standard covers products in compliance with EN 14519, EN 14951 and prEN 15146 but it also covers other solid timber products suitable for panelling and cladding.
This European Standard does not cover products which are produced from laminated layer section.
