This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 14 July 2007 for provisional application.
The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to submit their
comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.
CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS available
promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in parallel to the CEN/TS)
until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.
CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal,
Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

CEN/TS 1099:2007 (E)
Foreword
This document (CEN/TS 1099:2007) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 112 “Wood-based
panels”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document supersedes ENV 1099:1997.
Compared to ENV 1099:1997 the following changes have been made:
 “hazard class” has been replaced by “use class” in accordance with EN 335-1:2006;
 Clause 2 and the Bibliography have been updated;
 the deliverability has been changed from ENV to CEN/TS. No technical changes have been made.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

CEN/TS 1099:2007 (E)
1 Scope
This document gives guidance on the selection of plywood for use in the different use classes as defined in
EN 335-1.
The guidance given takes into account the natural durability classification for solid timber (see EN 350-2)
together with other factors specific for plywood.
It does not consider durability against chemico-physical factors, such as weathering, nor does it consider the
biological durability of the adhesive.
Guidance on precautionary measures for use is also given.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
EN 313-2:1999, Plywood — Classification and terminology — Part 2: Terminology
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 313-2:1999 apply.
4 Precautionary measures for use
4.1 Rules for selection
Plywood should be selected according to the relevant use classes of its end use situation and taking into
account any risk from perceived hazards likely to occur.
Five use classes have been identified as being representative of the various conditions the material is likely to
meet. These five classes are defined in EN 335-1 and their applications for plywood in EN 335-3.
The risk of biological attack can differ for different end-uses within the same use class.
If the use class cannot be determined accurately or when different parts of the same plywood panel are
exposed to different use classes, selection should be made with regard to the most severe of the probable use
classes.
When a plywood component would be difficult to replace, or the consequences of its failure would be serious,
it is advisable to use more durable plywood than that normally appropriate for the use class of the end use
situation.
4.2 Use of treated plywood
1)
With some preservative products, a risk of excessive leaching exists . If the specified preservative product is
leachable, it is essential that the panel is covered, or otherwise protected, after treatment and during transport
and construction, as well as in service.

1) Leaching to a level where the conferred durability is compromised.

development of specifications
