Particleboards - Specifications - Part 5: Requirements for load-bearing boards for use in humid conditions

This European Standard specifies the requirements for load-bearing boards for use in humid conditions. Note: These boards are intended for use in design and construction of load-bearing or stiffening building elements, e.g. walls, flooring, roofing or I-beams (see ENV 1995-1-1 and/or performance standards). The values listed in this standard relate to product properties but they are not characteristic values to be used in design calculations. Additional information on supplementary properties for certain applications is also given. Particleboards in accordance with this standard may be referred to as P5-boards.
