This document specifies a method for determining the moisture content of cementitious screed, calcium sulphate screed and magnesite screed made according to EN 13813.

 

This document specifies a method for determining the dimensional stability (i.e. the shrinkage and swelling) of cementitious screed, calcium sulphate screed, magnesite screed and synthetic resin screed materials made in accordance with EN 13892-1.

 

This document specifies a test method for the determination of the moisture resistance of wood-based panels under cyclic test conditions.

 

This document specifies requirements and classification systems for burglar resistant characteristics of pedestrian doorsets, windows, curtain walling, grilles and shutters. It is applicable to the following opening functions: Turning, tilting, folding, turn-tilting, top or bottom hung, sliding (horizontally and vertically), pivoted (horizontally and vertically), projecting and rolling as well as non-openable constructions. It also covers products that include items such as letter plates or ventilation grilles. It specifies requirements for the burglar resistance of a construction product (as defined in 3.1 of this document). NOTE 1 The elements of curtain walling will be assigned to group 1 to 4 product depending on their design. This document does not directly cover the resistance of locks and cylinders to attack with picking tools. Building hardware are components of the above mentioned products and cannot be classified as such according to this document. This document does not apply to walls and roofs, as well as for doors, gates and barriers, intended for installation in areas in the reach of persons, and for which the main intended uses are giving safe access for goods and vehicles accompanied or driven by persons in industrial, commercial or residential premises, as covered by EN 13241:2003+A2:2016. NOTE 2 It is important that construction products that can be reached or driven through by vehicles are protected by appropriate measures such as barriers, extensible ramps, etc. The requirements to an electronic security system (e.g. access control system) to control electromechanical locks and strikes according to EN 14846:2008 are not in the scope of this document. NOTE 3 Locks and striking plates according to EN 14846:2008 needs an access control system for authorized and secure access (comparable to a lock cylinder). The transmission of the signal between the lock and the access control system (e.g. wiring) needs also consideration. (The signal is transmitted in encrypted form or is not accessible during the manual attack attempt.) Upcoming revisions of this document might include such a reference.

 

This document specifies the determination of free melamine in coated and uncoated wood-based-panels. NOTE 1 It is also applicable to other wood-based products, to other solid products e.g. impregnates or decorative paper and to liquid products (e.g. adhesives). The determination of melamine is performed by extraction in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and subsequent high-performance chromatography (HPLC) analysis and ultraviolet (UV) detection. NOTE 2 For determination of melamine in foodstuff EN 16858 is applicable. For determination of melamine in animal feeding stuffs EN 17212 is applicable. For determination of melamine in textiles EN ISO 1833 26 is applicable.

 

This document specifies the calculation method, based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and other quantified environmental information, to assess the environmental performance of a building and its site, and gives the means for the reporting and communication of the outcome of the assessment. The standard is applicable to new and existing buildings and refurbishment projects. The document gives: - the description of the object of assessment, - the system boundary that applies at the building level, - the procedure to be used for the inventory analysis, - the list of indicators and procedures for the calculation of these indicators, - demand for information concerning environmental impacts and aspects at the local environment level (including emissions to indoor air), - demand for information concerning building generated energy reporting and design for circularity as technical characteristics that support environmental performance, - the requirements for the data necessary for the calculation, and - the requirements for presentation of the results in reporting and communication. The approach to the assessment covers all stages of the building life cycle and is based on data obtained from Environmental Product Declarations (EPD), their “information modules” (EN 15804:2012+A2:2019) and other data and information necessary and relevant for carrying out the assessment. The assessment includes all building related construction products, processes and services, used over the life cycle of the building. Methodologies for and approaches to the interpretation and the making of value judgments of the results of the assessment are not within the scope of this document. NOTE 1 This document provides system boundaries, calculation rules and indicators to compile and assess the life cycle inventory and life cycle environmental impacts of buildings. NOTE 2 The document also provides the methodological basis and assessment rules to support the achievement of environment related macro objectives in Europe and instruments such as the European reporting framework Level(s).
