NBN ISO 16893:2021

This International Standard 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 P-HLB, see Clause 3), for use in three service
conditions (REG, MR1 and MR2). The values are not characteristic values to be used for design purposes.
