What is ISO 13894-2 – Composite elements of wood-based substrates for interior use about?
Wooden interiors are in trend these days. Very often we see these as regular households. Moreover, these interiors help in providing high degree of insulation.
ISO 13894-2 describes the general properties of composite elements surfaced, and possibly edged, with high-pressure decorative laminate (HPDL) as defined in Clause 3. The composite elements specified in ISO 13894-2 consist of HPDL sheet material adhesively bonded to one or both sides of a wood-based substrate, and are intended for normal interior use.
Part 1 of ISO 13894-2 describes test methods for additional properties which may be applicable to such applications (see ISO 138941:2000 Subclause 3.1, Note 3).
Note : Requirements for special applications, e.g. where the product is subjected to extreme conditions of heat or moisture, are not part of ISO 13894-2.
