( 2 ) An interlayer of at least Class E and with maximum thickness 3 mm may be included in applications without an air gap, for parquet products with 14 mm thickness or more and for veneered floor coverings. ( 3 ) Class as provided for in Commission Decision 2000/147/EC Annex Table 2. ( 4 ) Type and quantity of surface coatings included are acrylic, polyurethane or soap, 50 - 100 g/m 2 , and oil, 20 - 60 g/m 2 . ( 5 ) Conditioned according to EN 13238 (50 % RH 23 o C). ( 6 ) Substrate at least Class A2 - s1, d0. ( 7 ) Applies also to steps of stairs. ( 8 ) Mounted mechanically on a wood batten support frame, with the gap closed or filled with a substrate of at least class A2 - s1, d0 with minimum density of 10 kg/m 3 or filled with a substrate of cellulose insulation material of at least class E and with or without a vapour barrier behind. The wood product shall be designed to be mounted without open joints. ( 9 ) Mounted mechanically on a wood batten support frame, with or without an open air gap behind. The wood product shall be designed to be mounted without open joints. ( 10 ) Class as provided for in Table 1 of the Annex to Commission Decision 2000/147/EC. ( 11 ) An open air gap may include possibility for ventilation behind the product, while a closed air gap will exclude such ventilation. The substrate behind the air gap must be of at least class A2 - s1, d0 with a minimum density of 10 kg/m 3 . Behind a closed air gap of maximum 20 mm and with vertical wood pieces, the substrate may be of at least class D - s2, d0. ( 12 ) Joints include all types of joints, e.g. butt joints and tongue and groove joints. ( 13 ) Conditioned according to EN 13238. ( 14 ) As illustrated in Figure a below. Profiled area of the exposed side of the panel not more than 20 % of the plane area, or 25 % if measured at both exposed and unexposed side of the panel. For butt joints, the larger thickness applies at the joint interface. ( 15 ) Rectangular wood pieces, with or without rounded corners, mounted horizontally or vertically on a support frame and surrounded by air on all sides, mainly used close to other building elements, both in interior and exterior applications. ( 16 ) Maximum exposed area (all sides of rectangular wood pieces and wood support frame) not more than 110 % of the total plane area, see Figure b. ( 17 ) Other building elements closer than 100 mm from the wood ribbon element (excluding its support frame) must be of at least class A2 - s1, d0, at distances 100 - 300 mm of at least class B - s1, d0 and at distances more than 300 mm of at least class D - s2, d0. ( 18 ) Applies also to stairs.
