The purpose of this document is to provide the principles and guidance for the preparation of extended application documents for combined penetration seals where the systems were tested in accordance with EN 1366-1, EN 1366-2 and EN1366-3. The field of the extended application document is additional to the direct field of application given within EN 1366-1, EN 1366-2 and EN 1366-3 and may be applied on a number of tests from each standard, which provide the relevant information for the formulation of an extended application.This EXAP is intended to allow the penetration sealing of more than one service including Ducts and Dampers in the same penetration.

This document provides product category rules (PCR) for Type III environmental declarations for windows and pedestrian doorsets as defined in EN 14351-1 and EN 14351-2. Windows and pedestrian doorsets additionally providing fire resistance and/or smoke control characteristics according to EN 16034 are also covered by this document.NOTE 1 Windows that incorporate shutters and/or shutter boxes and/or blinds are in scope of this PCR. For any connected electrical devices (e.g. motors, sensors) -see 6.3.4.2.This document complements the core rules for the product category of construction products as defined in the European standard EN 15804:2012+A1:2013. The document is to be used in conjunction with EN 15804:2012+A1:2013, not replace it.NOTE 2 The assessment of social and economic performances at product level is not covered by this document.The core PCR:- defines the parameters to be declared and the way in which they are collated and reported;- describes which stages of a product’s life cycle are considered in the EPD and which processes are to be included in the life cycle stages;- defines rules for the development of scenarios;- includes the rules for calculating the Life Cycle Inventory and the Life Cycle Impact Assessment underlying the EPD, including the specification of the data quality to be applied;- includes the rules for reporting the predetermined, environmental and health information that is not covered by Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for the product, construction process(es) and construction service(s), as relevant;- defines the conditions under which construction products can be compared based on the information provided by EPD.For the EPD of construction services the same rules and requirements apply as for the EPD of construction products.

This document specifies the requirements for the following types of dowel-type fasteners:- nails;- staples;- screws;- dowels; and- bolts with nuts.Only dowel-type fasteners for structural use in load bearing timber structures, and manufactured from steel, are covered by this document. In addition, this document covers also the use of screws:- to fix roof or cladding elements to the timber structure, with or without insulation layers; and- as reinforcement inserted in timber or in a glue laminated timber element to improve its resistance to compression perpendicular to the grain.This document specifies also the assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) procedures and includes requirements for marking of dowel-type fasteners.This document covers dowel-type fasteners that may be coated for the following purposes:- corrosion protection;- lubrication (to facilitate insertion);- withdrawal enhancement and/or collation for staples (adhesive and/or resin coatings).This document does not cover dowel-type fasteners treated with fire retardants to improve their fire performance, nor does it cover glued-in rods.

This document specifies a method of test for determining the reaction to fire performance of construction products excluding floorings, and excluding products which are indicated in Delegated Regulation (EU) 20016/364, when exposed to thermal attack by a single burning item (SBI). The calculation procedures are given in Annex A. Information on the precision of the test method is given in Annex B. The calibration procedures are given in Annexes C and D, of which Annex C is a normative annex.NOTE This document has been developed to determine the reaction to fire performance of essentially flat products. The treatment of some families of products, e.g. linear products (pipes, ducts, cables etc.), can need special rules.

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 2 pre-treatments (PT1 and PT2) of the test specimens.The test methods described in this document allow to determine the minimum top layer bonding quality, also for the use application on floor heating, and for the identification of bonding failure.NOTE 1 For this application, the pre-treatments have proven to be suitable.This document does not apply to the bonding quality of plywood if it is in use in the multilayer parquet construction.NOTE 2 This standard doesn’t allow to estimate the compatibility of use in wet conditions.

This document specifies requirements, additional to those of EN 14081-1, for type testing of machine graded structural timber with rectangular cross-sections shaped by sawing, planning or other methods, and having deviations from the target sizes corresponding to EN 336. This includes requirements for strength grading machines.

This European Standard gives a method for determining characteristic values of mechanical properties and density, for defined populations of visual grades and/or strength classes of machine graded structural timber. Additionally it covers the stages of sampling, testing, analysis and presentation of the data.The standard provides methods to derive strength, stiffness and density properties for structural timber from tests with defect-free specimen.The values determined in accordance with this standard for mechanical properties and density are suitable for assigning grades and species to the strength classes of EN 338.NOTE 1 For assigning grades and species to the strength classes in EN 338 only three properties, i.e. bending or tension strength, modulus of elasticity parallel to grain in bending or tension and density need to be determined from test data, other properties can be calculated according to Table 2.NOTE 2 EN 1912 gives examples of established visual grades assigned to strength classes.

This document specifies requirements additional to those given in EN 14081-1 for factory production control of machine graded structural timber with rectangular cross-sections shaped by sawing, planing or other methods, and having deviations from the target sizes corresponding to EN 336.

This document describes the reference method used for type testing and in case of dispute for determining the polished stone value (PSV) of a coarse aggregate used in road surfacings. For other purposes, in particular factory production control, other methods are possible provided that an appropriate working relationship with the reference method has been established. Examples of advanced test methods can be found in the Bibliography.Annex A describes an optional method for the determination of the aggregate abrasion value (AAV).NOTE 1 The AAV method is suitable to use when particular types of skid resistant aggregates, (typically those with a PSV of 60 or greater) which can be susceptible to abrasion under traffic, are required.The sample is taken from normal run of production from the plant.NOTE 2 Chippings that have been freshly crushed in the laboratory or recovered from bituminous materials may give misleading results.

This document describes the reference method, the Los Angeles test, used for type testing and in case of dispute (and an alternative method, the impact test) for determining the resistance to fragmentation of coarse aggregates (main text) and aggregates for railway ballast (Annex A). For other purposes, in particular factory production control, other methods are possible provided that an appropriate working relationship with the reference method has been established.This document applies to natural, manufactured or recycled aggregates used in building and civil engineering.Annex A describes a method for the determination of resistance to fragmentation of aggregates for railway ballast.Annex B gives alternative narrow range classifications for the Los Angeles test and the impact test.Annex C contains construction, operation and safety requirements for the impact tester.Annex D describes a method for checking of the impact tester.Annex E gives precision data.Annex F contains a worked example of calculation of impact value SZ.Annex G gives an alternative narrow range classification for the Los Angeles test of 16/32 mm recycled aggregates.Annex H proposes an additional sieve for the evaluation of the Los Angeles test for railway ballast.Annex A is normative and Annexes B to H are informative.
