1. Determination of dimension of panels

- The dimension of panels testing - The thickness, width, length and - The thickness, width, length, squareness,

squareness flatness and edge straightness

- Sampling - The determination of samplings are - Sampling determination is determined by

- The dimensions of test pieces the minimum number of test pieces is 1 piece the minimum number of test pieces is 6 pieces

- 50 mm x 50 mm, to an accuracy of 0,05 mm - 50 mm x 50 mm, to an accuracy of 0,01 mm

- Test condition - water temperature (Fibre board 20° C, - water temperature (20 ± 1)°C and pH (7 ± 1)

Particle board 25°C)

- The duration of immersion:

- Test condition - Immerse in water at room temperature for 24

strength - without conditioning - Conditioning of the test pieces before testing

- The dimension of screw - Diameter = 2.7 mm

- types of the screw only apllied in face withdrawal - applied for face and edge withdrawal

to obtain approximately 1800 cm2
