29、e This European Standard specifies the characteristics of decking 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 part of EN 15534 is applicable to extruded profiles but

30、also to tiles manufactured by other plastics processing techniques, e.g. injection moulding. It is not applicable to kits (i.e. support rail profiles, cover strip profiles and hardware) which are out of the scope of this part of EN 15534. EN 15534-1 specifies the test methods relevant to this part o

31、f EN 15534. NOTE For editorial reasons, in EN 15534 the abbreviation “WPC” is used for “composites made from cellulose-based materials and thermoplastics”. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its a

32、pplication. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

The tests according to 4.5.7 shall be carried out if the performance is declared by the manufacturer. Initial type te

36、sting shall be repeated, whenever a change occurs in the composition of the product, its geometry or in the production process. In case of a minor change, only the properties which could be influenced by this change shall be tested. NOTE Minimum frequencies of testing for factory production control

37、purposes are given in Annex A. DINEN 15534-4:2014-04EN 15534-4:2014 (E) 6 4.2 Material The base polymer, from which the material is produced, and the type and content of cellulose-based material shall be declared by the manufacturer. Reprocessable and/or recyclable materials may be used for manufact

38、uring profiles and tiles provided that they satisfy to the provisions of this part of EN 15534. 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 o
