3.2 solid pre-assembled hardwood board wide and generally long solid (single-layer) hardwood element, pre-assembled from several strips in length and width by dovetailing, edge gluing and end jointing which has parallel sides, is machined to a regular thickness and profile(s) with profiled edges and ends, and is capable of being assembled with other analogous elements (see Figure 2)
3.3 strip smallest single item forming the pre-assembled board 3.4 thickness above the groove thickness between the face and any discontinuity such as a change in the profile (excluding chamfering), a groove/glue pocket or a glue line (excluding the glue line of dove-tail joints)
4 Specific product requirements 4.1 Wood species A list of the most commonly used hardwood species for wood flooring as described in this standard is given in Annex A. 4.2 Finishing The product may be delivered with a factory applied surface coating which allows the product to be taken into use immediately after installation. The surface treatment used and any artificial change of the natural wood colour shall be stated in the product description.
4.3 Appearance 4.3.1 General rules Tables 1 to 4 define the classification relating to appearance rules for the face and for the non-visible parts (back and edges) of an element of the most commonly used species for solid wood flooring as defined in this standard. Features shall be measured according to EN 1309-3 (knots assessed according to the general method in EN 1309-3). Bio deterioration, permitted only for certain appearance classes (see Tables 1 to 4) is measured according to EN 1309-3. A classification with three appearance classes is specified, designated ○, and. A classification named “Free class” is based on the principles laid out in Annex B. The face shall include all the visible surface of the element. Any continuous glue joint which allows renovation without significantly changing the appearance or the functional characteristics is acceptable. 4.3.2 Classification The class shall be specified. The decorative appearance of each species will vary with class. NOTE The fact that some classes allow many natural characteristics is important when specifying decorative appearance.BS 13629 pdf download.
