Overview

EN 1328:1996 is a CEN (European Committee for Standardization) standard that specifies a test method for the determination of frost resistance of cement-bonded particleboards. The standard defines how to assess the ability of cement-bonded particleboards to withstand freezing and thawing conditions, helping manufacturers, test laboratories and specifiers evaluate board durability in cold climates. The document has been adopted in national collections (for example, SIST EN 1328:1998) and is classified under ICS 79.060.20 (fibre and particle boards).

Key Topics

This standard focuses on the practical procedure for frost-resistance testing and related technical requirements. Core topics normally addressed include:

  • Scope and terminology – definition of cement-bonded particleboards and frost-resistance concepts.
  • Specimen preparation and conditioning – requirements for sampling, cutting and pre-conditioning test specimens before exposure.
  • Freeze–thaw test procedure – the controlled sequence of freezing and thawing to which specimens are subjected (methodology rather than environmental design guidance).
  • Assessment criteria – how to evaluate damage, physical changes and performance loss after testing (for example, visual inspection, dimensional stability, strength retention and mass change).
  • Reporting – mandatory information to include in the test report so results are reproducible and comparable across laboratories.

(Note: EN 1328:1996 defines method and reporting requirements; specific numeric cycle counts, temperatures or acceptance thresholds are covered in the standard text and should be read directly.)

Applications

EN 1328:1996 is used to:

  • Support product development - help manufacturers assess and improve board formulations for freeze–thaw resilience.
  • Quality control - implement routine laboratory checks to ensure batches meet durability expectations.
  • Specification and procurement - enable architects, engineers and public procurers to request documented frost resistance for cement-bonded particleboards used in exterior or cold-environment applications.
  • Regulatory and compliance testing - provide a standardized basis for demonstrating performance in certification or approval processes.

Typical users include cement-bonded particleboard manufacturers, independent testing laboratories, material engineers, specifiers, and conformity assessment bodies.

Related Standards

  • Other EN standards and national adoptions cover particleboard types, mechanical testing and durability methods. For complete compliance and cross-reference, consult the EN catalogue or national standards bodies for companion methods and product standards related to cement-bonded boards.
