EN 15534-5 Composites Made from Cellulose-Based Materials and Thermoplastics - Specifications for Coating Profiles and Tiles

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of EN 15534-5 testing. This European Standard covers the properties of cladding profiles and tiles made of cellulose-based materials and thermoplastics, often called wood-polymer composites (WPC) or natural fiber composites (NFC), for external or internal use.

This part of EN 15534 is applicable to extruded profiles as well as tiles produced by other plastic processing techniques such as injection moulding. It does not apply to support rail profiles, cover strip profiles and fasteners which are outside the scope of this part of EN 15534.

The type and content of the base polymer and cellulose-based material from which the material is produced will be declared by the manufacturer. Reprocessable or recyclable materials may be used in the manufacture of components provided they comply with the provisions of this part of EN 15534. WPC materials are recyclable materials that can be processed in a material recovery process aimed at conserving resources while minimizing harmful emissions to the environment.

Part 15534 of EN 5 focuses specifically on cladding profiles and tiles made from wood-polymer composites or natural fiber composites. It determines the requirements and features that these cladding profiles and tiles must meet, ensuring that they comply with certain quality and performance standards.
