TS EN 12775

TS EN 12775 is a terminology and classification standard for solid wood panels. It addresses how this panel product family is classified and defines the terms used to describe it, providing a common technical language for products made from solid wood and used in interior, furniture, and other woodworking applications.

Why classification matters for solid wood panels

In wood product markets, classification helps different parties speak about the same object in the same way. Solid wood panels may be grouped or described by features such as construction, appearance, intended use, or other distinguishing characteristics. When those concepts are organised in a standard vocabulary, product comparison, specification writing, and trade communication become clearer and less ambiguous. This standard serves that descriptive function rather than prescribing manufacturing details.

Terminology as a technical control point

A terminology standard does not usually tell a producer how to make a panel; it tells users how to name and distinguish the panel correctly. In general technical practice, that matters because consistent definitions reduce misinterpretation in purchasing, design documentation, quality descriptions, and catalogue data. For solid wood panels, the distinction between product type, classification, and term definition is especially useful because visually similar wood-based products can have different structures and performance expectations.

• The standard covers classification of solid wood panels.
• It defines terms used with solid wood panels.
• Its focus is on shared vocabulary and product distinction.
• It supports consistent technical communication in wood technology contexts.
