II SPECIFIC CONDITIONS OF THE EUROPEAN TECHNICAL AP PROVAL

1 Definition of products and intended use

1.1 Definition of the construction product (kit) EURODOM is an industrially prepared timber frame building kit that is made of pre-designed and prefabricated components.

Walls are manufactured as prefabricated structural frames based on pre-cut timber members supplemented with additional materials on site. Roofs and floors are assembled from glued laminated timber joists bought in the open market. Glued laminated timber members used in columns are also bought in the open market.

The kits are prepared in the factory for every individual house, delivered as a package, and assembled on site.

Spacing between pre-cut solid wood members, height and width of prefabricated structural frames of walls, as well as the dimensions of glued laminated timber joists and columns vary according to the design process for every particular application. The variations are within a range. The configuration of the main assembled components is shown in annex 1. Material and component specifications are shown in annex 2. The essential construction details including their joints are described in annex 3.

The content of the kit includes the loadbearing structures and their connections, the connections to the substructure, thermal insulation, internal linings, vapour control layers, treated bottom plates, claddings, sheathings, roof coverings and windows.

The inner surface coverings (paints or varnishes) are not included in the kit.

Doors, stairs, balconies, internal fittings, technical installations for water, heating, cooling, ventilation, foundations and other components which are necessary to form a complete house are not part of the kit. They should meet their respective regulations.

Figure 1. Three dimensional view of EURODOM .

1.2 Intended use The intended use of the EURODOM timber frame building kit is the construction of detached single-family two storey houses, maximum ground + top floor, with or without basement.

The provisions made in this European Technical Approval are based on an assumed working life of the EURODOM timber frame building kit of 50 years for the loadbearing structure and for non-accessible components and materials, and 25 years for repairable or replaceable components and materials, provided that the conditions laid down in sections 4.2, 5.1 and 5.2 for the packaging, transport, storage, installation, use, maintenance and repair are met. The indications given on the working life cannot be interpreted as a guarantee given by the producer, but are to be regarded only as a means for choosing the right products in relation to the expected economically reasonable working life of the works.

The EURODOM timber frame building kit is intended to be placed on foundations made of masonry or concrete walls or steel structures.

The EURODOM timber frame building kit may be used in regions where termite attack can occur and in areas with seismic requirements if they are properly satisfied.

2 Characteristics of products and methods of verifi cation

2.1 Mechanical resistance and stability (ER 1) The properties of structural materials and components related to mechanical resistance and stability are expressed in terms of indication of geometrical data and properties of the materials and constituent products used6, which includes:

- the geometrical data (dimensions and cross sections, including tolerances) of the installed system and the components of the kit, and

- the properties of the materials and constituent products used that are needed to determine, according to the National Provisions, valid in the place of use, or possible use, loadbearing capacities and other properties, including aspects of durability and serviceability, of the assembled system installed in the works.

The necessary information for the mechanical resistance and stability for each loadbearing building component, as well as the joints between components, is listed in annex 1 and 2. The main assembled components configurations are listed in annex 1. The properties of structural materials and components are listed in annex 2.

The mechanical resistance and stability of each loadbearing building component as well as the joints between components are to be determined on the basis of this exact description. During the calculation the respective requirements of each member states shall be taken into account.

Basic calculations are done according to EN 1995-1-17, and are adapted according to the requirements of national construction regulations.

All structural timber elements are classified in service class 1 except suspended ground floor which is classified in service class 2. Values of kmod (modification factor for duration of load and moisture content) and kdef (deformation factor) are chosen following the recommendations in EN 1995-1-1. kmod is chosen according to the corresponding service class and the load-duration class, and kdef is chosen according to the corresponding service class.

System strength factor (ksys) is considered 1,10 in structural walls, floor and roof frames based on the capability of the load-distribution system of transferring the loads from one member to the neighbouring members.

Partial factor value for material properties and resistances at ultimate limit state are as follows:

- γM = 1,30 for solid timber; - γM = 1,25 for glued laminated timber; - γM = 1,20 for OSB; - γM = 1,30 for connections;

and is 1,00 for serviceability limit state.

The deformation criteria for floors and roofs satisfy the national determined parameters.

OSB/3 panels fixed on external, and if necessary internal walls, contribute to the racking resistance.

Partial safety factors:

- γG = 1,35 for permanent actions; - γG = 1,50 for variable actions;

The resistance against seismic actions may be calculated in the building project of each individual work for the specific structural design, on the basis of the racking resistance and the anchorage capacities given below, and the densities and total mass taken from annex 1 and annex 2.

Racking resistance is obtained according to method A in EN 1995-1-1.

6 It corresponds with the method 1 in Guidance Paper L “Application and use of Eurocodes” (version 27 November

2003). 7 The reference to EN 1995-1-1 in this document means reference to EN 1995-1-1: 2006.

Page 7 of 62 ETA-10/0414, issued on 03.12.2010

Racking resistance must be obtained for each specific design by means of the lateral design capacity of an individual fastener (Ff,Rd) 3,0 x 40 mm, and using a OSB/3 panel 12 mm thick.

Ff,Rd = 216,93 N;

The value of Fi,v,Rd may be obtained for each panel depending on the wall panel width, the coefficient ci and the fastener spacing.

Fv,Rd may be obtained by means of the following: Fv,Rd = Σ Fi,v,Rd.

Anchorage capacities:

• metal anchors: values shall be obtained from CE marking;

• screws 5,0 x 90 mm used in timber to timber connexions: fax,K = 23,57 N; Fax,90,Rk = nef·4.080,63 N;

2.2 Safety in case of fire (ER 2)

2.2.1 Reaction to fire

Classification in accordance with Euroclasses A1 – F in EN 13501-1 of the components in the assembled kits is shown in annex 2.

2.2.2 Resistance to fire

The properties related to resistance to fire for loadbearing building components are expressed in terms of indication of geometrical data of the component and constituent products used8, due to the variability of configurations of the components. Spacing between pre-cut solid wood members in walls, height and width of prefabricated structural frames, as well as spacing and dimensions of glued laminated timber joists and columns vary according to the specific structural design for every particular application. Resistance to fire must be determined case by case according to each specific structural design.

2.2.3 External fire performance of the roof coverin g

External fire performance of concrete, slate and clay roofing tiles is considered “deemed to satisfy” all the provisions for external fire performance without the need for testing on the basis that they are included within the definitions given in EC decision 2000/553/EC and provided that any national provisions on the design and execution of works are fulfilled.

External fire performance of concrete, slate and clay roofing tiles according to EN 13501-5 is given in annex 2.

2.3 Hygiene, health and environment (ER 3)

2.3.1 Vapour permeability and moisture resistance

The assessment with respect to both interstitial and internal surface condensation shows that the kit provides adequate moisture control for the intended use, taking into account the geographical restrictions specified in cl. 1.2.

Where the climate so requires, the risk of moisture condensation has to be assessed for each individual work. A vapour control layer in the warm side of the thermal insulation of the roof could be necessary.

2.3.2 Watertightness

The kit has been favourably assessed primarily on the basis of the construction details and later by carrying out laboratory tests of the external envelopes of façades, for the specified areas of intended use.

8 It corresponds with the method 1 in Guidance Paper L Application and use of Eurocodes (version 27 November

2003).

Page 8 of 62 ETA-10/0414, issued on 03.12.2010

The ventilated air space 35 mm thick behind the external envelope of façades together with the waterproofing membrane attached to the timber frame, provide watertightness properties, so water leakage does not occur through the timber frame nor through the thermal insulation.

Watertight internal surfaces are not a part of the kit.

2.3.3 Release of dangerous substances

The manufacturer has submitted a written declaration stating the dangerous substances in the kit.

- Biocides:

As long as the annexes of the Commission Directive 98/8/CE of the European Parliament and of the Council are not implemented, the biocides used in the coating system applied over the external timber cladding and in the treated bottom plates are registered in the Registro de plaguicidas no agrícolas o biocidas which maintains the Spanish authorities -Ministerio de Sanidad y Consumo- following the measures of implementation of the Commission Directive 98/8/CE.

Values for maximum deflections of floor and roof joists on two supports, and in glued laminated timber joists at serviceability limit states are as follows. Span values are doubled in cantilevered joists.

- 1/300 of the span, produced for permanent actions in its characteristic value and variable actions in characteristic value and in combination values.

- 1/350 of the span, produced for permanent actions in characteristic value and for short-length variable actions in characteristic value and in combination values.

- 1/300 of the span, produced for permanent actions in characteristic value and variable actions in quasi-permanent value (ψ2 · Qk).

Suspended floors will satisfy the criteria for stiffness against vibrations if they satisfy the limiting values for deflections indicated above, according to the Spanish Building Technical Code.

2.7.3 Identification

The Identification parameters for materials and components of the kit are shown in annex 2 of this European Technical Approval. The way in which they are assembled is shown in annex 3.

4 Assumptions under which the fitness of the produc t for the intended use is favourably assessed

4.1 Local building regulations A specification of relevant requirements concerning fire resistance, reaction to fire, sound insulation, thermal insulation performance and ventilation provisions shall be elaborated for each delivery, this specification is referred in the building project, which is the basis of the production of a EURODOM timber frame building kit. The building project will take the performances from the information provided by the manufacturer.

To check that each EURODOM timber frame building kit meets the local building regulations concerning the essential requirements is a part of the building project.

4.2 Structural design The production of the EURODOM timber frame building kit shall be made on the basis of the specific structural design included in the building project.

4.3 Manufacturing The moisture content in solid wood materials -never exceeds 16%.

The European Technical Approval is issued for the product on the basis of agreed data/information, deposited with the ITeC, which identifies the product that has been assessed and judged. Changes to the product or production process, which could result in this deposited data/information being incorrect, should be notified to the ITeC before the changes are introduced. The ITeC will decide whether or not such changes affect the European Technical Approval and consequently the validity of the CE marking on the basis of the European Technical Approval and if so whether further assessment or alterations to the European Technical Approval, shall be necessary.

4.4 Substructure The vertical tolerance of the substructure top shall be within (+10,-20) mm.

A damp-proof membrane, which is not part of the kit, shall be installed between the substructure top and the bottom plate.

4.5 Installation The kit are installed in the works according to a general manual from the manufacturer, which incorporates the figures of annex 3 of this European Technical Approval. The general manual covers all important installation aspects, including:

- erection systems and equipment

- temporary bracing and weather protection

- completion of joints between kit components

- fixing of wind and any seismic anchorage to the substructure and between building parts

- additional materials and components applied on the site, and which are a precondition for the fitness in use of the kit

Special aspects related to each individual building project will be supplemented to the general manual, if necessary.

Installation of the EURODOM timber frame building kit in the works can be carried out by installers from the manufacturer or by means of a technical assistant from the manufacturer who controls the installation process.

The completed building (the works) must comply with the building regulations (regulations on the works) applicable in the Member States in which the building is to be constructed. The procedures foreseen in the Member States for demonstrating compliance with the building regulations must also be followed by the entity responsible for this act. An European Technical Approval for a timber frame building kit does not amend this process in any way.

Annex 1 – Configuration of main assembled component s

1. External walls

There are three types of external walls depending on the external lining used. In all cases a timber cladding is used in the internal lining. Types of external lining:

• timber cladding;

• Werzalit© Selekta cladding;

• Werzalit© Siding cladding;

Werzalit© profiles are made of wood particles, impregnated with resins, and with a acrylic based decorative paint on the visible surface.

External walls are manufactured as prefabricated two-dimensional structural timber frames supplemented with materials on site. The dimensions of studs and noggins are always 120x47 mm. Spacing between studs axis in a timber frame oscillates in the range between 400 and 625 mm, it is possible to reduce the spacing below 400 mm if is necessary. Maximum height is 2.700 mm. The width of each prefabricated frame depends on the specific design with a maximum of 5.050 mm. Dimensions of bottom plate and top plate are 120x47 mm. Distance between noggins axis oscillates in the range between 700 and 1000 mm.

Thermal insulation and internal and external timber cladding are attached to the timber frame during the manufacturing process in the factory.

Waterproofing membrane, external timber cladding and Werzalit© are materials supplemented in site.

Glued laminated timber joists of suspended floors and roofs sit on doubled top plate of external and loadbearing internal walls.

Lintels and sidestuds for openings are designed case by case.

The following figures are not exhaustive. The complete list of configuration is in annex 3.

2. Internal walls

There are two types of internal walls: loadbearing and non-loadbearing internal walls.

Studs and noggins of 120 x 47 mm are used for loadbearing internal walls, while the 56 x 38 mm ones are used for the non-loadbearing internal walls.

In both cases internal walls are manufactured as prefabricated two-dimensional structural timber frames supplemented with materials in site.

The dimensions of studs and noggins in internal timber frames follow the same rules for external walls. Differences between external and internal walls are located in claddings, linings and in thermal insulation.

Thermal insulation of 100 mm mineral wool is used for loadbearing internal walls while 50 mm mineral wool is used for non-loadbearing internal walls. In both cases internal lining in timber cladding 12 mm thick is used.

3. Suspended floors

The following configurations of suspended floors are possible:

• suspended floors between rooms inside the same house are shown in figure 7;

• suspended ground floors are shown in figure 8;

The main differences between suspended floors are thermal insulation, linings and sheathings.

Suspended floors between rooms are assembled in site using glued laminated timber joists bought in the open market, 22 mm OSB/3 panel, parquet flooring above lining and timber cladding underneath.

Glued laminated joists dimensions depend on the specific design for suspended floors. Spacing and length of joists are selected according to each structural design. The variations are within a range: minimum spacing between joists is 400 mm and 625 mm the maximum.

Suspended ground floor is assembled using 70 x 50 mm pre-cut timber battens, OSB/3 panel and flooring. Spacing and length of joists are selected according to each structural design. The variations are within a range. An edge joist is placed in the floor perimeter. Thermal insulation 50 mm thick is placed between timber battens.
