Standard

EN 335 — Use classes for biological exposure

Clause 5. Defines UC1 interior dry; UC2 interior with occasional condensation; UC3.1 exterior above ground, coated and shedding water; UC3.2 exterior above ground, frequently wetted; UC4 in contact with ground or fresh water; UC5 in salt water. Vertical rain-screen cladding with ventilated cavity is normally UC3.1; horizontal decking, sills and cappings are UC3.2. Every horizontal or water-trapping detail effectively raises the use class by one step.

How to read this

The diagram below shows every direct connection this node has in the graph. Each line is one edge; expand a neighbour group below to read exactly why that connection exists and which standard or dataset it comes from.

This node has no recorded edges.

No neighbours to list.

How edges in this graph are derivedWI-GRAPH v1.0.0

Species → agent edges come from the WI-SL resistance profile (0–100 ordinal scale derived from EN 350 durability class, extractive chemistry and movement). ≥70 is read as "resists well", 45–69 as "moderately resists", below 45 as "is vulnerable to".

Climate → agent edges fire when a climate's driver value (UV, humidity, salt or freeze-thaw load) is 60 or above, read directly from the climate dataset.

Treatment → agent / standard edges come from the paraphrased standards corpus used across the site (EN 927-1, EN 351-1, EN 350 clause 4, EN 13501-1).

Species → standard edges reuse the exact source list already published for each Global WoodIntel Score sub-score.
