Specifies performance requirements and specifications for the manufacture and application of decorative overlaid wood panels. It specifies dimensional tolerances and physical and mechanical properties for four classifications of decorative overlaid wood panels, i.e. low pressure melamine (LPM), PVC film, paper foils, and wood veneers. Appendices provide information on methods of compliance, purchasing guidelines, storage and handling, size or pack quantity combinations, and selection and application of screw fasteners.

This Standard specifies requirements for decorative overlaid wood panels. It includes four types of decorative overlay applied to particleboard or medium density fibreboard substrate.NOTES:1 Alternative methods for demonstrating compliance with this Standard are given in Appendix A.2 Appendix B lists information that should be supplied by the purchaser at the time of inquiry and order.3 Appendix C describes recommended practices for the handling and storage of decorative overlaid wood panel.4 Appendix D provides information on preferred sheet dimensions and pack quantities.5 Appendix E describes recommended practices for selection and application of screw fasteners.
