This European Standard specifies a test method for determining the withdrawal capacity of nails, screws and staples inserted into wood-based panels. This test method can be used for any combination of fastener type and wood-based panel product. NOTE This method differs from EN 320 which characterises fibreboards in terms of their resistance to the withdrawal load of only a single type of screw.
