This European Standard specifies test methods for the determination of characteristics of melamine faced boards (MFB) as defined in EN 14322.

ISO 27769:2016 provides a classification matrix and related mandatory tests for two types of wet process fibreboard made from wood: softboards and hardboards and specifies the relevant manufacturing property requirements.

ISO 17064:2016 provides definitions and terminology applying to all types of fibreboard, particleboard and oriented strand board (OSB).

ISO 16895:2016 specifies a classification matrix, related mandatory tests and thickness ranges for ultra-low-, low-, medium- and high-density dry process wood-based fibreboard. It then provides the manufacturing property requirements for these types of uncoated fibreboard. The values listed in this International Standard relate to product properties used to classify fibreboards into one of four types (UDF, LDF, MDF and HDF, see Clause 3), one of four grades (GP, FN, BL and LB), for use in one of...view more

ISO 16893:2016 specifies a classification matrix and the related mandatory tests and thickness ranges to be applied to wood-based particleboard for general purposes, furniture, load-bearing applications and heavy-duty load-bearing applications. It then provides the manufacturing property requirements for these types of uncoated particleboard. The values listed in this International Standard relate to product properties used to classify particleboards into one of four grades (P-GP, P-FN, P-LB or ...view more

CEN/TS 16368 specifies the requirements for uncoated particleboards for use in dry conditions in non load-bearing applications with density below 600 kg/m3. This Technical Specification applies to particleboard which is mostly homogenous and continuous in its composition and which does not contain hollow spaces, chambers or other type of cavities which can be encountered as honeycombs in sandwich panels or as tubes in extruded boards. This Technical Specification does not give requirements for e...view more

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the resistance of fibreboards and particleboards to axial withdrawal of screws.

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the resistance of fibreboards and particleboards to axial withdrawal of screws.

This European Standard specifies the requirements for flat-pressed or calendar-pressed unfaced particleboards as defined in EN 309. The values listed in this standard relate to product properties, but they are not characteristic values to be used in design calculations. Additional information on supplementary properties for certain applications is also given. This standard does not apply to extruded particleboards and flaxboards, which are standardised in EN 14755 and EN 15197 respectively.

This European Standard specifies the requirements for flat-pressed or calendar-pressed unfaced particleboards as defined in EN 309.
NOTE 1   This standard is called up in EN 13986 for construction applications. Products specified in this standard are referred to in EN 13986 as resin-bonded particleboards.
The values listed in this standard relate to product properties, but they are not characteristic values to be used in design calculations.
NOTE 2   Such characteristic values (e.g. for use in de...view more

ISO 16894:2009 gives definitions, classifications and specifications for the manufacturing requirements of oriented strand board (OSB). The values given are used to classify OSB into one of four types, namely OSB type GP-REG, LB-REG, LB-MR or HLB-MR. The values are related to panel properties, but are not characteristic values to be used for design purposes.

This European Standard gives the definition, classification and symbols for wood fibreboards.
