European Standard en 13706

European Standard EN 13706 establishes requirements for the quality, tolerances, strength, stiffness and surface properties of pultruded fiber reinforced polymer profiles intended for structural use. It divides profiles into two classes based on quality requirements, with Class E23 having the most stringent standards. Fiberline structural profiles meet or exceed the Class E23 requirements. The standard specifies testing methods and minimum property values profiles must achieve in areas like modulus of elasticity, tensile strength, bending strength, and shear strength.

European Standard EN 13706

European Standard EN 13706 applies solely to pultruded profiles for structural


purposes, which according to the standard are defined as where the load-bearing
characteristic is the major criterion of design and where the product is part of a loadbearing system.
The standard specifies the minimum requirements for the quality, tolerances, strength,
stiffness and surface of structural profiles.
The standard basically divides pultruded structural profiles into two classes:
E23

having
the
most
stringent
E17 having more lenient requirements to quality

requirements

to

quality

Fiberline structural profiles meet or exceed the requirements of class E23.


The standard broadly consists of three parts:
EN 13706-1: Specifying the designation/labelling/marking of structural profiles with
regard to selection of materials, selection of reinforcement, surface treatment, etc.
EN 13706-2: Indicating testing methods and tolerances for pultruded structural profiles.
Guidelines for quality and quality assurance are also given.
EN 13706-3: Indicating minimum values for the technical properties of structural profiles
in relation to the standards two classes.
