Abstract

This Uganda Standard specifies a classification matrix, related mandatory tests and thickness ranges for ultra-low-, low-, medium- and high-density dry process wood-based fibreboard. It then provides the manufacturing property requirements for these types of uncoated fibreboard. The values listed in this International Standard relate to product properties used to classify fibreboards into one of four types (UDF, LDF, MDF and HDF, see Clause 3), one of four grades (GP, FN, BL and LB), for use in one of four service conditions (REG, MR1, MR2, and HMR). The values are not characteristic values to be used for design purposes. (The standard cancels and replaces US ISO 16895-1:2008, Wood-based panels - Dry process fibre board - Part 1: Classification and US ISO 16895-2:2010, Wood-based panels - Dry-process fibre board - Part-2: Requirements). This standard was published on 2022-12-13.
