Overview

This part of ISO 13894 describes the general properties of composite elements surfaced, and possibly edged, with high-pressure decorative laminate (HPDL) as defined in Clause 3. The composite elements specified in this part of ISO 13894 consist of HPDL sheet material adhesively bonded to one or both sides of a woodbased substrate, and are intended for normal interior use. Requirements for special applications, for example where the product is subjected to extreme conditions of heat or moisture, are not part of this part of ISO 13894, although Part 1 of this International Standard describes test methods for additional properties which may be applicable to such applications (see ISO 13894-1:2000, Subclause 3.1, Note 3). Test methods and performance levels for special applications shall be agreed between customer and supplier. Information concerning test methods for special applications is given in Annex A. The text of ISO 13894-2:2005 has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61 "Plastics" and has been taken over as EN ISO 13894-2:2015 by Technical Committee CEN/TC 249 "Plastics" (secretariat: NBN, Belgium). The responsible national standardization committee is Working Committee NA 054-04-01 AA "Dekorative Schichtstoffe und Mineralwerkstoffe" ("Decorative laminates and solid surfacing materials") at the Standards Committee Plastics (FNK) at DIN.
