Adhesives for load-bearing timber structures made of hardwoods - Classification and performance requirements - Part 1: Adhesives for the bonding of selected hardwood species (group A), with no specific high shear strength classification

This document establishes a classification for phenolic and aminoplastic polycondensation adhesives classified according to EN 301, one component polyurethane adhesives classified according to EN 15425 and emulsion polymer isocyanate adhesives classified according to EN 16254, according to their suitability for use for load-bearing timber structures made of selected hardwood species (group A) in defined climatic exposure conditions; it specifies performance requirements for such adhesives for the factory manufacture or factory-like manufacturing conditions of load-bearing timber structures made of selected hardwood species only, with no specific high shear strength classification. NOTE An adhesive with high shear strength classification is needed when the declared characteristic shear strength of the glued laminated product is above 3,5 N/mm2, which is the declared characteristic shear strength of glulam made of softwoods according to EN 14080:2013 Table 4. See prEN 18307-3 requirements in this case. It also classifies aminoplastic adhesive systems being used with a range of hardener dosage, and one component polyurethane adhesive product lines where all the products within the line have the same chemical composition except for a different amount of catalyst. This document only specifies the performance of an adhesive for use in an environment corresponding to the defined conditions. The performance requirements of this document are applicable to the adhesive only, not to the manufacturing timber products. This document does not cover the performance of adhesives for on-site gluing (except for factory-like conditions) nor the production of wood-based panels, except solid wood panels, or modified and stabilized wood with considerably reduced swelling and shrinkage properties, e.g. such as acetylated wood, heat treated wood and polymer impregnated wood. It also does not cover preservative treated wood. This document is primarily intended for use by adhesive manufacturers and for use in timber products made of selected hardwood species bonded with adhesives, to assess or control the quality of adhesives. The requirements apply to the type testing of the adhesives. Production control activities are outside the scope of this document. Adhesives meeting the requirements of this document are adequate for use in a load-bearing timber products made of selected hardwood species, provided that the bonding process has been carried out according to an appropriate product standard. Selected hardwood species covered by this document are listed in FprCEN/TS XXX , group A. FprCEN/TS XXX also specifies nominal physical properties of the mentioned species that are used for testing according to this document.

Organic and organo-mineral fertilizers - Determination of the total organic carbon (TOC) content by dry combustion

This document specifies a method for the determination of total organic carbon (TOC) by elemental analysis using dry combustion. The method is applicable to organic and organo-mineral fertilizers containing more than 1 g carbon per kg of dry matter (0,1 %), with the exclusion of organo-mineral fertilizers containing urea-formaldehyde polymers or urea as long as there is no method available to assess carbon in urea-formaldehyde polymers or urea. This document is applicable to the component materials “by-products”, or “recovered high-purity materials”, when used as components of fertilizing products, as well as the fertilizing products blends where a blend is a mix of at least two of the following components: fertilizers, liming materials, soil improvers, growing media, inhibitors, plant biostimulants and where the following category: organic fertilizers, organo-mineral fertilizers is the highest % in the blend by mass or volume, or in the case of liquid form by dry mass. If the organic fertilizer or the organo-mineral fertilizer is not the highest % in the blend, the European Standard for the highest % of the blend applies. In case a fertilizing product blend is composed of components in equal quantity, the user decides which standard to apply. Variations in analytical methods for fertilizing product blends can lead to differing results as some components or matrix interactions can affect the outcome. Validation procedures have shown that developed standard methods are robust and reliable across diverse product compositions, but possible interferences and unexpected results when analysing fertilizing product blends are possible. This document is applicable and validated for several types of matrices as indicated in Annex B.

Inorganic fertilizers - Determination of specific contaminants

This document specifies references to methods for the determination of the following contaminants: mercury, cadmium, nickel, copper, zinc, arsenic, lead, chromium(VI), biuret, perchlorate, total chromium and phosphonates content in inorganic fertilizers. For the mercury, cadmium, nickel, copper, zinc, arsenic, lead, perchlorate and total chromium content: This document is applicable to the fertilizing products blends where a blend is a mix of at least two of the following components: fertilizers, liming materials, soil improvers, growing media, inhibitors, plant biostimulants, and where the following category: inorganic fertilizers is the highest % in the blend by mass or volume, or in the case of liquid form by dry mass. If inorganic fertilizer is not the highest % in the blend, the European Standard for the highest % of the blend applies. In case a fertilizing product blend is composed of components in equal quantity, the user decides which standard to apply. For the chromium(VI) and biuret content: This document is applicable to the fertilizing products blends where a blend is a mix of at least two of the following components: fertilizers, liming materials, soil improvers, growing media, inhibitors, plant biostimulants, and where organic matter is present in at least one of the products in the blend. In case a fertilizing product blend is composed only of inorganic products, the European Standard for inorganic fertilizers applies. Variations in analytical methods for fertilizing product blends can lead to differing results as some components or matrix interactions can affect the outcome. Validation procedures have shown that developed standard methods are robust and reliable across diverse product compositions, but possible interferences and unexpected results when analysing fertilizing product blends are possible. An overview of the references to methods for the determination of the specific contaminants is given in Table 1. NOTE 1 The determination of copper and zinc in inorganic fertilizers as micronutrients is covered by prEN 17754. NOTE 2 The determination of copper in ammonium nitrate fertilizers of high nitrogen content is covered by CEN/TS 17751.

Telecommunications bonding networks for buildings and other structures

This document specifies requirements and provides recommendations for the design and installation of connections (bonds) between various electrically conductive elements in buildings and other structures, during their construction or refurbishment, in which information or telecommunications technology equipment is intended to be installed in order to: a) minimise the d.c. and a.c. potential differences in order to reduce the risk of malfunction of that equipment and interconnecting cabling due to electromagnetic disturbance; b) provide the telecommunications installation with a reliable signal reference – which may improve immunity from electromagnetic interference (EMI). The requirements of this European Standard are applicable to the buildings and other structures within premises addressed by EN 50174-2 (e.g. residential, office, industrial and data centres) but information given in this European Standard may be of assistance for other types of buildings and structures. NOTE Telecommunications centres (operator buildings) are addressed by ETSI/EN 300 253. This European Standard does not apply to power supply distribution of voltages over AC 1 000 V. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements and safety requirements for power supply installation are outside the scope of this European Standard and are covered by other standards and regulations. However, information given in this European Standard may be of assistance in meeting the requirements of these standards and regulations.
