This document provides information on the characteristic values for use in designing structures incorporating wood-based panels. The characteristic values given are as defined in EN 1995 1 1.
When utilizing the classification system for derivation of plywood characteristic values, this document can only be applied with reference to EN 636.
This document includes the characteristic values of the mechanical properties for plywood complying with EN 636 in bending, tension, compression, panel shear and planar shear. EN 636 classifies bending properties into two sets of classes, one for stiffness and another for strength. Stiffness and strength in tension and compression are related to the same properties in bending.
For shear properties, fixed values determined by correlation to density are provided.
Where optimized values are needed, the characteristic values are determined directly by testing in accordance with EN 789 and EN 1058 or by combination of testing according to the latter two standards and calculation according to EN 14272.
This document applies to panels complying with the three following conditions:
—   5 layers or more and 6 mm overall thickness and more;
—   the ratio of the cumulative thickness of veneers in alternate directions does not exceed 2.5;
—   wood species with a mean density greater than 350 kg/m3 and not exceeding 750 kg/m3.

This document provides a methodology for calculating the carbon balance of (a) forest management unit(s) (FMU). This quantification methodology is intended to demonstrate to what extent carbon pools in the FMU represent a net greenhouse gas sink or a net greenhouse gas source. This document provides information that can be used on organizational or aggregated product levels. This calculation methodology considers: — the geographical scale of the FMU; — forest management practices; — land ownership arrangements; — time periods; — the use of forest inventory data and other data sources for determining the forest carbon balance; and — allocation of forest carbon balance to wood that has been sourced in FMU(s). Greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels or industrial processes related to forestry operations (e.g. production and distribution of fertilizers, fuels for machinery) are not included in this document. NOTE 1 Greenhouse gas emissions related to forestry operations are covered in ISO 13391-1. The quantity of wood entering the harvested wood products carbon pool is not included in this document. NOTE 2 Material entering the harvested wood products carbon pool is calculated in ISO 13391-1. This document is intended to be used by organizations seeking to understand, commit to or contribute to climate change mitigation. These organizations can be either private or public, regardless of type or size, and located in any jurisdiction or any position within a specific value chain.

This document lists visual strength grades, species and sources of timber, and specifies the strength classes to which they are assigned. The assignments listed are for strength classes documented in EN 338.
Structural timber that has previously been graded cannot be re-graded to the same or different grades unless the method of determining characteristic values has made allowances for changes to the timber population caused by the previous grading.
NOTE 1   Consequently, the assignments stated in this document apply to timber that has not been previously strength graded in a way that introduces a bias on the population of timber to be graded, as compared to ungraded material.
Species/grades or species combination/grades are assigned to strength classes in accordance with EN 14081-1 and supporting standards, such as EN 384.
This document contains a list of assignments but is not intended to be exhaustive.
NOTE 2   Timber graded by machine to EN 14081-1 is graded directly to the strength classes and marked accordingly. Machine grading is therefore not referenced in this document.

This document does not deal with hazards related to: — specific devices other than those listed above; — access through in-feed and out-feed openings of machines with a work piece height capacity greater than 700 mm; — systems for powered loading or unloading, or both, of the workpiece to or from a single machine; NOTE 2 Loading the machine manually includes manually placing the workpiece onto a conveyor directly controlled by the machine. Unloading the machine manually includes manually removing the workpiece from a conveyor directly controlled by the machine. — out-feed workpieces on machines with feed speed higher than 60 m/min; — interfacing of the machine with any other machine. This document is not applicable to machines intended for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere and to machines manufactured prior to the date of its publication.

This document specifies the safety requirements and measures for combined woodworking machines (defined in 3.1), capable of continuous production use, with manual loading and unloading of the workpiece and hereinafter referred to also as “machines”. The machines are designed to cut solid wood and material with similar physical characteristics to wood (see ISO 19085-1:2021, 3.2). This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events, listed in Annex A, relevant to the machines, when operated, adjusted and maintained as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer; reasonably foreseeable misuse has been considered too. Transport, assembly, dismantling, disabling and scrapping phases have also been taken into account. This document applies to machines also equipped with the devices or additional working units listed in the Scopes of ISO 19085-5:2024, ISO 19085-6:2024, ISO 19085-7:2024 and ISO 19085-9:2024. This document does not apply to: a) machines incorporating a planing unit and a mortising device only; NOTE Machines incorporating a planing unit and a mortising device only are dealt with in ISO 19085-7:2024. b) combined machines incorporating a band saw unit; c) machines with a mortising unit with a separate drive other than the planing unit drive; d) machines intended for use in potentially explosive atmosphere; e) machines manufactured before the publication of this document.
