Timber structures - Test methods - Determination of mechanical properties of wood based panels EN 789:2004

Publication date:   Jul 27, 2005

Scope

This standard specifies test methods for determining some mechanical properties of commercial wood-based panel products for use in load-bearing timber structures. These properties are intended for the calculation of characteristic values for use in obtaining material design values. For each type and grade of panel product, as defined for example in an EN wood based panel standard, it is necessary to determine characteristic values of mechanical properties to enable it to be used for structural purposes.
