M/121_AM1 - Wall and ceiling finishes

This document specifies characteristics for compact laminate panels and HPL composite panels both for non-structural uses in interior or external wall and ceiling finish applications (including in suspended ceiling).
This document deals with compact laminate panels of thickness 2 mm and greater.
The compact laminate panels are produced by using a high pressure process and the HPL composite panels are produced bonding an HPL sheet to a substrate.
This document covers compact laminate panels with the following types of laminates:
-   compact laminates, as defined in EN 438 4:2016;
-   exterior-grade compact laminates, as defined in EN 438 6:2016;
-   pearlescent compact laminates, metal compact laminates and wood veneer compact laminates, as defined in EN 438 8:2018;
-   coloured core layer compact laminates and metal reinforced core layer compact laminates, as defined in EN 438 9:2017.
This document covers full size and cut-to-size compact laminate panels and HPL composite panels, e.g. tiles and sidings.
This document specifies only compact laminate panels and HPL composite panels mechanically fixed using e. g. screws or rivets.
Both the compact laminate panels and HPL composite panels may contain flame retardant to improve their reaction to fire performance.
This document also specifies provisions for the assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) of the characteristics and includes provisions for marking these panels.
This document does not cover:
a)   HPL sheets less than 2 mm thick as defined in EN 438-3:2016, EN 438-8:2018 or EN 438-9:2017, which are not glued on a substrate;
b)   overlaid or veneered wood-based panels, where the overlay/veneer is not an HPL;
c)   HPL composite panels intended for use as floor coverings;
d)   panels used for fire protection of walls or ceilings;
e)   performances of installed systems for walls and ceilings with compact or composite high pressure laminate panels.

This standard specifies the characteristics of cladding profiles and tiles made from cellulose-based materials and thermoplastics, usually called wood-polymer composites (WPC) or natural fibre composites (NFC), for external use.
This document is applicable to extruded profiles but also to tiles manufactured by other plastics processing techniques, e.g. injection moulding.
It is not applicable to support rail profiles, cover strip profiles and fastener devices.
This document also specifies assessment methods, provisions for the assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) of these products and includes requirements for marking.

This European Standard defines and specifies the relevant characteristics and the appropriate test methods to determine these characteristics for solid wood products to be used as panelling and cladding (including siding) 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. This European Standard does not cover panels intended for use as stiffening elements. This European Standard does not cover suspended ceiling in wood panelling and cladding. This European Standard does not cover the processes for treatment, surface coating or modification. NOTE Prescriptions for surface coating and treatment can be found in documents valid in the place of use. This European standard does not cover products which are produced from laminated layer section. This European Standard covers treated, untreated and surface coated products, including those made of thermally or chemically modified wood, as well as finger jointed and edge glued products. This European Standard covers products in compliance with EN 14519, EN 15146 and EN 14951,and other solid timber products manufactured for use as panelling and cladding
