Overview

EN 382-1:1993 (CEN) - Fibreboards - Determination of surface absorption - Part 1: Test method for dry process fibreboards - defines a European test method for measuring the surface absorption properties of dry process fibreboards. Published as a CEN standard and adopted in some national bodies (e.g., SIST EN 382-1:1996 in Slovenia), this document supports consistent quality control, specification and comparison of fibreboard surface behaviour under liquid contact.

  • Standard reference: EN 382-1:1993
  • Scope: Specifies a method to determine surface absorption of dry process fibreboards
  • ICS code: 79.060.20 (Fibre and particle boards)

Key Topics

The standard concentrates on the systematic determination and reporting of surface absorption for dry process fibreboards. Key technical topics and requirements covered in the standard include:

  • Scope and definitions relevant to surface absorption testing of dry process fibreboards
  • Test method for determining surface absorption, providing a reproducible procedure for laboratories
  • Requirements for specimens and conditioning, ensuring comparable test conditions
  • Measurement and expression of results, specifying how surface absorption data should be recorded and reported
  • Reporting format to enable consistent interpretation across manufacturers, test labs and specifiers

These topics ensure tests are comparable across different laboratories and products, improving the reliability of surface absorption data for product development and quality assurance.

Applications

EN 382-1:1993 is used where accurate knowledge of a fibreboard’s surface liquid uptake is important. Typical users and applications include:

  • Manufacturers of dry process fibreboards for product development and incoming/outgoing quality control
  • Independent testing laboratories performing standardized surface absorption tests
  • Specifiers and procurement teams in construction, furniture and interior industries comparing material performance
  • Architects and engineers assessing surface behavior for laminating, coating, painting or bonding applications
  • Regulatory bodies and standards committees referencing a harmonized test method for compliance and certification
