EN 13329:2016+A1:2017 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies characteristics, requirements and test methods for laminate floor coverings with a surface layer based on aminoplastic thermosetting resins as defined in 3.1 and 3.2. It also specifies requirements for marking and packaging. It includes a classification system, based on EN ISO 10874, giving practical requirements for areas of use and levels of use, to indicate where laminate floor coverings will give satisfactory service and to encourage the consumer to make an informed choice. Laminate floor coverings are considered for domestic and commercial levels of use, including domestic kitchens. This standard does not specify requirements relating to areas which are subjected to frequent wetting, such as bathrooms, laundry rooms or saunas. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

The product is usually finished with a backer (e.g. HPL, CPL, impregnated papers), primarily used as a balancing material. 3.3 substrate core material of the laminate floor covering Note 1 to entry: It is generally a particleboard, as defined in EN 309, or a dry process fibreboard (MDF) as defined in EN 316 or a so called High Density Fibreboard (HDF) which is a MDF-board with a density
· 800 kg/m3. 3.4 backer layer opposite to the surface layer used to balance and stabilize the product Note 1 to entry: The backer is generally made of impregnated papers. 3.5 underlay layer placed between the laminate floor covering and the subfloor to impart specific properties SIST EN 13329:2016+A1:2017
