SIST EN 382-2:1996 is the Slovenian standard published by SIST for testing hardboards. It specifies a test method for determining surface absorption, described in the scope as surface porosity, of the hardboards covered by EN 316. The document is intended for people who need comparable test results for fibreboard products, such as laboratory staff, manufacturers, and quality control teams.

What does SIST EN 382-2:1996 specify?

SIST EN 382-2:1996 specifies a method for determining the surface porosity of hardboards. The title places it in the fibreboard family, and the scope links the method to hardboards as described in EN 316.

The front matter identifies this document as Part 2 of the EN 382 series. In practice, that tells the reader that this part focuses on one specific product type and one specific property, rather than on all fibreboards or on product acceptance limits.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 382-2:1996?

• The standard uses a test method approach. It tells users how to determine the property, rather than setting a pass/fail limit for the board. In practice, this means the document is used to generate comparable test results.
• The subject of the test is hardboards. The method is meant for hardboard products, so users should apply it to that board type and not assume it covers other fibreboards in the same way.
• The property being determined is surface porosity, with the title also referring to surface absorption. In practice, the test is used when surface behaviour matters, for example when comparing boards for finishing or bonding-related decisions.
• The scope ties the product definition to EN 316. In practice, users should identify the boards under that reference before applying the test method.
• The document sits in the EN 382 series as Part 2. In practice, that helps users select the right part when they are working with different fibreboard products or different test purposes.
• The standard is classified under ICS 79.060.20 Fibre and particle boards. In practice, this places it in the normal technical area for board testing, specification work, and quality control.

What terms does SIST EN 382-2:1996 define?

• Fibreboards - Boards made from fibres; this is the broader product family named in the title.
• Hardboards - A type of fibreboard for which this part gives the test method.
• Surface absorption - The uptake of material at the board surface that the test method is intended to assess.
• Surface porosity - The openness of the surface structure, which affects how the surface behaves during the test.
• EN 316 - The referenced European Standard used to identify the hardboards covered by this method.
• EN 382-2 - The part designation showing that this document is the second part of the EN 382 series.

Who uses SIST EN 382-2:1996?

SIST EN 382-2:1996 is used by testing laboratories that measure hardboard surface properties, by hardboard manufacturers who check product consistency, and by quality control teams who need repeatable results.

It is also useful for specification and procurement work where surface behaviour has to be compared between suppliers or batches. The method gives all parties a common way to talk about the same property.

What changed in SIST EN 382-2:1996 from the previous edition?

SIST EN 382-2:1996 is identified as identical to EN 382-2:1993. The document front matter does not state further changes.

Which standards are used with SIST EN 382-2:1996?

• EN 316 - Used in the scope to identify the hardboards covered by this test method.

What does the SIST EN 382-2:1996 document contain?

The document contains the standard identification, multilingual title page, ICS classification, and the statement that the Slovenian standard is identical to EN 382-2:1993. Its technical content is a test method for determining the surface porosity of hardboards.

For a reader, that means the document is mainly a laboratory and quality-control tool. It supports consistent testing of hardboard surface behaviour so results can be compared across products, batches, and organizations.
