19、34-4:2014(E)3 Foreword This document (EN 15534-4:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 249 “Plastics”, the secretariat of which is held by NBN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at th
20、e latest by July 2014, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by July 2014. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all s
21、uch patent rights. This document together with EN 15534-5:2014 supersedes CEN/TS 15534-3:2007. The significant changes that have been made since the previous edition are the following: splitting into Parts 4 and 5 of CEN/TS 15534-3:2007; change of the status from Technical Specification to European
22、Standard; complete technical review of the document; change of the Scope from characterization to specification of the products.

DINEN 15534-4:2014-04EN 15534-4:2014 (E) 5 1 Scop
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.

35、15534-1:2014 apply. 4 Requirements 4.1 General Initial type testing shall be performed to demonstrate compliance with the requirements specified in Clause 4 of this part of EN 15534. 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
39、n human health. NOTE A scheme for the characterization of plastics waste is given in EN 15347 2 and guidelines for the recovery and recycling are given in ISO 15270 3. 4.3 Appearance For production control purposes, the manufacturer shall compare three samples drawn at random from the same profile/t
40、ile production batch with a control sample, under the illumination conditions defined in EN 15534-1:2014, 6.1. The control samples shall be stored in a dark room and renewed every six months. If a control sample is put in contact with water, it shall be renewed immediately. 4.4 Physical characterist
