Estas recomendações visam fornecer regras de boa prática para a aplicação das várias componentes de painéis sanduiche. A 1ª parte que engloba o dimensionamento, a fixação dos painéis e ensaios, foi somente publicada em 1991 (ECCS - 66) e posteriormente actualizada em 2001 (ECCS - 115). Com estas duas partes, o Working Group 7.4 do Comité 7 da ECCS, planeia publicar futuramente a versão final num só volume.
It deals with the application of sandwich components, and is thus principally directed toward manufacturer and user. Part I contains recommendations regarding both the dimensioning and fixing of components and includes statements regarding test procedures for quality control and the determination of characteristic data of material and carrying capacity values.
