Overview

CEN/TC 250 decided in 2008 that no revision of the Eurocodes shall be carried out at least until March 2013. Necessary amendments and corrigenda of the Eurocodes may be published until March 2013. This decision led to a large number of amendments and corrigenda, which were mostly published as separate documents. For better organization and applicability of these documents, the DIN prepares consolidated versions as new versions for all parts of the Eurocode affected by this. These documents then contain the current amendments and corrigenda. In this context, the mentions of replacement on the Eurocodes are also supplemented accordingly. A new edition is also published, even if only the superseding note is to be supplemented. EN 1995 applies to the design of buildings and civil engineering works in timber (solid timber, sawn, planed or in pole form, glued laminated timber or wood-based structural products, for example LVL) or wood-based panels jointed together with adhesives or mechanical fasteners. It complies with the principles and requirements for the safety and serviceability of structures and the basis of design and verification methods given in 1990:2002. EN 1995 is only concerned with requirements for mechanical resistance, serviceability, durability and fire resistance of timber structures. Other requirements, for example, concerning thermal and sound insulation, are not considered. European Corrigendum EN 1995-1-1:2005/AC:2006 and the European Amendment EN 1995-1-1:2005/A1:2008 have been incorporated into this new edition. The responsible German Committee is Working Committee NA 005-04-01 AA "Holzbau" ("Sp CEN/TC 124, CEN/TC 250/SC 5") ("Timber structures (Sp CEN/TC 124, CEN/TC 250/SC 5)") at DIN.
