4 Requirements
4.1 General
Medium boards shall comply with the general requirements of EN 622-1 together with the relevant require-
ments set out in 4.2 and 4.3 of this standard. The requirements for some supplementary properties are given in
annex A.
The requirements in Tables 2 to 8 shall be met by 5 percentile values (95 percentile values in the case of
swelling in thickness), based on the mean test values for individual panels and calculated in accordance with
EN 326-1. In the case of swelling in thickness, they shall be equal to or less than the values in the Tables, and
in the case of all other properties, they shall be equal to or greater than the values in the Tables. The values in
the Tables for both bending strength and modulus of elasticity shall apply to test results obtained in any
direction in the plane of the panel.
Properties not required for specific board types are marked “–“.
With the exception of swelling in thickness, internal bond after boil test (see Tables 7, 8) and bending strength
after boil test (see Tables 3, 4, 8), the values given in the Tables are characterised by a moisture content in the
material corresponding to a temperature of 20 °C and a relative humidity of 65 %. The values given for swelling
in thickness, internal bond after boil test and bending strength after boil test are characterised by a moisture
content in the material corresponding to a temperature of 20 °C and a relative humidity of 65 % before the
treatment (immersion in water or boil treatment).
The moisture resistance of medium boards
