    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Describes performance requirements for high-pressure decorative laminates (HPL) intended for interior use with a design effect surface having a phenolic based core and a decorative surface, not covered by EN 438-3 to EN 438-6.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This part of EN 438 specifies performance requirements for high-pressure decorative laminates (HPL) intended for interior use with a design effect surface having a phenolic based core and a decorative surface, not covered by EN 438-3 to EN 438-6. Three surface material types (metal, wood veneer and pearlescent decor) are defined in this part of EN 438. EN 438-2 specifies the test methods relevant to this part of EN 438.
