    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Specifies terms, describes a classification and defines test methods for flat, factory made, non-structural, faced and unfaced sandwich boards for use in furniture manufacturing (SWB-F) for dry (service class 1) and humid conditions (service class 2).

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This European Technical Specification defines terms, establishes a classification and specifies test methods for flat, factory made, non-structural, faced and unfaced sandwich boards for use in furniture manufacturing (SWB-F) for dry (service class 1) and humid conditions (service class 2). This European Technical Specification does not specify requirements.

    Guidance is provided for the selection of board properties which are relevant for specific board applications.

    This European Technical Specification is not applicable to products which are already covered by existing standards.
