This document sets out requirements regarding the performance of characteristics of the following Types of laminated veneer lumber (LVL): - Type 1: LVL for structural applications in buildings and bridges in dry, humid and exterior conditions; - Type 2: Multiple glued LVL for structural applications in buildings and bridges in dry, humid and exterior conditions; - Type 3: LVL for non-structural internal and external applications in construction. This document covers laminated veneer lumber of all Types: - made of at least five veneers having a maximum veneer thickness of 6 mm; - which may comprise veneers made from different species; - solely made of parallel veneers or symmetrically build up with at least two crossband veneers.
