Timber Structures - Test Methods - Performance of Structural Floor Decking
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1195 standard outlines the procedures for testing the performance of structural floor decking. The testing focuses on evaluating the decking's ability to withstand concentrated static loads, such as those caused by furniture, equipment, or people. It also includes the assessment of impact loads generated by human motion.
The standard specifically applies to decking made of boards, laminated boards, and wood-based panel products, which are supported by timber joists. The purpose of these tests is to determine the decking's overall strength and durability, as well as its resistance to different types of loads.
By establishing these test methods, the standard provides a reliable framework for assessing the performance of structural floor decking in timber structures. This ensures that the decking meets the necessary safety and quality requirements and can effectively support the intended loads in practical applications.
