Particleboards – Part 7: Requirements for heavy-duty load-bearing boards for use in humid conditions- Specification
Description
This Botswana Standard specifies the requirements for heavy-duty load-bearing particleboards for use in humid conditions. This standard does not give requirements for oriental strand boards (OSB) and it does not apply to extruded particleboards. The values listed in this standard relate to product properties, but they are not characteristic values to be used in design calculations. NOTE These boards are intended for use in design and construction of load-bearing or stiffening building elements. e.g. walls, flooring and I-beams. NOTE Humid conditions are characterized by moisture contents in the material corresponding to a temperature of 20 °C and the relative humidity of the surrounding air not exceeding 85 %. Boards of this type are only suitable for use in biological hazard Class 1 and Class 2 of EN 335-3.
