BS EN 15534-6:2015+A1:2017
This standard BS EN 15534-6:2015+A1:2017 Composites made from cellulose-based materials and thermoplastics (usually called wood-polymer composites (WPC) or natural fibre composites (NFC)) is classified in these ICS categories:
- 79.080 Semi-manufactures of timber
- 83.140.99 Other rubber and plastics products
This part of EN 15534 specifies the characteristics of fencing profiles and elements made from cellulose-based materials and thermoplastics, usually called wood-polymer composites (WPC) or natural fibre composites (NFC).
It is applicable to fencing profiles and elements for non-structural fencing systems.
The security systems, perimeter protections, handrails and load bearing applications are out of the scope of this part of EN 15534.
Any systems made from profiles in the scope of this part of EN 15534 that are affected by regulations are under the responsibility of the system supplier.
EN 15534‑1 specifies some of the test methods relevant to this part of EN 15534.
NOTE For editorial reasons, in EN 15534 the abbreviation “WPC” is used for “composites made from cellulose-based materials and thermoplastics”.
