PREN 15534-5-2019 Composites made from cellulose-based materials and thermoplastics (usually called wood-polymer composites (WPC) or natural fibre composites (NFC)) - Part 5: Specifications for cladding profiles and tiles
This document 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. Reprocessed and/or recycled materials can be used for manufacturing the components which comply with the requirements of this part of EN 15534. NOTE 1 WPC materials are recyclable materials which can be treated in a material recovery process intended to save resources while minimizing harmful emissions into air@ water and soil as well as their impacts on human health. NOTE 2 A scheme for the characterization of plastics waste is given in EN 15347 and guidelines for the recovery and recycling are given in ISO 15270.
