What is BS EN 13879 – Determination of edgewise bending properties about?
BS EN 13879 focuses on wood-based panels. The aim of the BS EN 13879 is to provide best industry practices to demonstrate the bending properties of the wood-based panels.
BS EN 13879 specifies a method for the determination of strength, stiffness, creep and duration of load when wood-based panels are loaded in edgewise bending.
Note: BS EN 13879 is not applicable to extruded panels.
Who is BS EN 13879 - Determination of edgewise bending properties for?
BS EN 13879 on wood-based panels is useful for:
- Wood-based panels manufacturers and suppliers
- Quality control department
- Architectures
- Engineers
Why should you use BS EN 13879 - Determination of edgewise bending properties?
To ensure wood-based panels offer adequate quality and durability when in use, it is vital that they undergo the best industry verification.
BS EN 13879 provides a test method to check the bending strength showing the load the wood can withstand. This will help to check the durability of the flooring that can last longer and can prevent the waste of money and time in refurnishing.
