DIN EN 927-2:2014-11

This is one of a number of parts of EN 927. EN 927-1 addresses the issue of terminology for the wide variety of exterior coatings for wood that are now available. EN 927-1 also provides a framework for communicating information on the suitability of a coating for particular specific end-use categories. Improved communication is beneficial in the removal of technical barriers to trade. However, there remains the problem of comparing products tested, or likely to be exposed, in different climatic regions, and the relevance of tests for different categories of end-use. EN 927-2 addresses these issues and sets a limited number of mandatory performance criteria combined with optional tests that can provide additional information to a standardized format. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 002-00-15 AA "Bautenbeschichtungen" ("Coatings for masonry") at DIN.
