Wood-based panels — Structural roof decking onjoists — Performance test method .25Bibliography .26ForewordThis European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 112 "Wood-based panels", thesecretariat of which is held by DIN.This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text orby endorsement, at the latest by November 2001, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latestby November 2001.This European Standard combines the drafts published as prEN 12869-1:1997, prEN 12869-2:1997,prEN 12870-1:1997, prEN 12870-2:1997, prEN 12871-1:1997, prEN 12872-2:1997 and prEN 12871-3:1997.In the structural use of wood-based panels there are two methods of achieving satisfactory performance of thecompleted structure.The first approach is to design the structure by calculation using structural characteristic values (contained inEN 12369 or derived accoridng to EN 1058 and EN 789), where there are no requirements for impact and concen-trated loads, or where compliance with these requirements can be demonstrated. Subject to the above limitations,the method can be applied to any structure, but because of the method of generation of the various assumptionsused in design calculation, the derived design may not be optimized in terms of performance.The second approach is to design the structure by prototype testing in order to satisfy the requirements for bothimpact and concentrated loading. This test work is complemented by calculation in order to satisfy the requirementfor uniformly distributed load. This approach yields a more optimised design, the results from the testing apply onlyto that one specific design.This standard relates specifically to the second approach, namely, design by prototype testing. Thus, this standardsets out the specifications and requirements for load bearing wood-based panels used as structural floor or roofdecking or wall sheathing.No existing European Standard is superseded.The annexes A and C are normative. Annex B is informative. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the followingcountries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden,Switzerland and the United Kingdom.SIST EN 12871:2004

Normal mainten-ance, repair and cleaning includes painting and minor repairs. Any other operations e.g. replacement of roofcoverings should be treated as erection loads.–Load category I: Roofs which are accessible with occupancy. This load category should be treated according toload category A, B, C, D or E for floors.NOTE 1
The concept of punching shear is taken into account in this standard by determining the performance of the panel byconcentrated load testing according to EN 1195 using different contact areas. It is therefore not necessary to carry out punchingshear tests in addition to the tests carried out in accordance with EN 1195.SIST EN 12871:2004

The impact load simulates falling objects, humans falling, jumping, dancing.6.2 Structural floor or roof decking on joists6.2.1 GeneralThe requirements specified in this standard are intended to limit deformations and prevent damage to wood-basedpanels used for structural floor or roof decking on joists. The standard does not include requirements for the strengthand stiffness of supporting joists or frame members.Testing for concentrated load and impact load shall be carried out according to table 4.The standard applies only to floors and roofs in buildings which are subjected to imposed loads according to loadcategories A, B, C, D, E (areas dwellings, offices etc.) or H (roofs not accessible) and I (Roofs accessible) accordingto ENV 1991-2-1.The standard does not apply to load categories F, G (garage and vehicle traffic areas) and K (roofs accessible forspecial services, such as helicopter landings).The dynamic load requirements of this standard (impact load) apply to loads due to falling objects, falling humans,jumping and dancing humans etc. imposed during the life of the building, excluding the period of construction.6.2.2 Requirements for serviceability limit state for concentrated load6.2.2.1 GeneralThe requirement for serviceability limit state is met by satisfying the requirements of 6.2.2.2 and 6.2.2.3.6.2.2.2 Force6.2.2.2.1 General: Serviceability limit state (Fser)When prototype tested, see table 4, the serviceability limit state is reached during testing if a discontinuity, indicatingirreversible damage, occurs on the load deflection curve even if cracks or other damage are not visible.NOTE
The serviceability limit state in service is reached when visible cracks, or other significant changes are found, which impairthe normal function of the floor or roof.6.2.2.2.2 Characteristic value: Serviceability limit state (Fser, k, 05)The 5-percentile characteristic value (Fser, k, 05), is calculated from the test values according to 7.2.Fser, k, 05 shall be separately calculated for load concentrates at the joints (e.g. tongued and grooved) and at the panelcentre.6.2.2.2.3 Requirement for serviceability limit stateThe 5-percentile characteristic value (Fser, k, 05) shall fulfil the following requirement:Fser, k, 05 ³ Qk kdis(1)SIST EN 12871:2004
