Despite X-Lam panels are produced and marketed since 1995, they have so far
never been integrated in any product standards. Their use as a material for load bearing
structures is therefore, to date, regulated through national approvals or by European
Technical Approval (ETA). The approvals contain and describe the requirements which
must be imposed to the product and its production from the materials used, as well as
the indications for use, dimensioning and necessary verifications. In case of European
approvals there are also indications concerning the marking CE. The standard EN
16351: 2013 has been submitted to CEN members for validation and it will lead to the
emergence of an EN code. A subcommittee of experts within the commission CEN
TC250 is working, currently, on the integration of the X-Lam material in the UNI-EN
