EN 14374 and EN 14279 (this document), prepared under Mandates M/112 and M/113 respectively. In the field of application of Mandate M/112 "Structural timber products and ancillaries", LVL is a material used for manufacturing structural products. In the field of application of Mandate M/113 "Wood-based panels", LVL is a product. The fields of application are to some extent overlapping. In some cases, the standard to be used is specified in the design standards, in other cases it is up to the user to specify the standard to be used. For relationship with Council Directive 89/106/EEC, EN 14374:2004 has its own Annex ZA. EN 14279 applies to LVL products for general purposes as well as to LVL products for use in construction, for relationship with Council Directive 89/106/EEC, refer to Annex ZA of EN 13986:2004. This document has been prepared in concert with CEN/TC 124. Consequently, some parts are common with EN 14374, e.g. some definitions and general specifications. SIST EN 14279:2005

3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 laminated veneer lumber – LVL layered composite of wood veneers with fibres principally in the same direction NOTE This definition does not preclude the inclusion of cross banded veneers. 3.2 lay-up composition of LVL with regard to number of veneers and their direction 3.3 dry conditions conditions corresponding to service class 1 of ENV 1995-1-1 which is characterised by a moisture content in the material corresponding to a temperature of 20 °C and a relative humidity of the surrounding air only exceeding 65 % for a few weeks per year [EN 13986:2004] 3.4 humid conditions conditions corresponding to service class 2 of ENV 1995-1-1 which is characterised by a moisture content in the material corresponding to a temperature of 20°C and a relative humidity of the surrounding air only exceeding 85 % for a few weeks per year [EN 13986:2004] 3.5 exterior conditions conditions corresponding to service class 3 of ENV 1995-1-1 which is characterised by climatic conditions leading to higher moisture contents than in service class 2 [EN 13986:2004] SIST EN 14279:2005
