EN 438-6:2005 High-pressure decorative laminates (HPL) - Sheets based on thermosetting resins (Usually called Laminates) - Part 6: Classification and specifications for Exterior-grade Compact laminates of thickness 2 mm and greater
This part of EN 438 applies to Exterior-grade Compact laminates of thickness 2mm and greater. It specifies requirements for standard and flame-retardant laminates intended for use under outdoor weather conditions such as direct sunlight rain and frost. Two levels of performance are specified; one for moderate exterior conditions, andThe other for severe exterior conditions. Laminates complying withThis part of EN 438 are referred to as Exterior-grade Compact laminates, and are characterized byTheir high tensile strength, high impact resistance,Thermal shock resistance, and resistance to weather and corrosion.They are available in a variety of decorative colours, with high resistance to colour change and aging in outdoor applications. WhenThey are self-supporting Exterior-grade Compact laminates are ready for installation, and only require cutting to size, drilling, etc. to suitThe application. EN 438-2 specifies the methods of test relevant toThis part of EN 438.
