This Botswana Standard specifies the requirements for boards for load-bearing boards for use in humid conditions. Particleboards complying with this standard may also be referred to as P2-boards. This standard does not give requirements for oriental strand boards (OSB) and it does not apply to extruded particleboards. The values listed in this draft standard relate to product properties, but they are not characteristic values to be used in design calculations. NOTE 1 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 2 Humid conditions are characterized by moisture contents in the material corresponding to a temperature of 20 oC and the relative humidity of the surrounding air only exceeding 85
