The European Standards for specific wood flooring products and parquets to which this European Standard relates, and which provide product definitions and requirements for dimensional tolerances, include the following:

- solid parquet elements with tongues and grooves (EN 13226);

- solid lamparquet products (EN 13227);

- solid wood overlay elements including blocks with an interlocking system (EN 13228);

- solid wood parquet - vertical finger, wide finger and module brick (EN 14761).

This European Standard may also apply to other wood flooring products and parquets than those standards above. However, it does not specify any requirements for dimensional limits of tolerances of such products.
