BS EN 310:1993

What is BS EN 310 – Determination of modulus of elasticity of wood-based panels about?

BS EN 310 focuses on wood-based panels. The aim of the BS EN 310 is to provide best industry practices to demonstrate the bending properties of the wood-based panels.

BS EN 310 specifies a method of determining the apparent modulus of elasticity in flatwise bending and bending strength of wood-based panels of nominal thickness equal to or greater than 3 mm.

Who is BS EN 310 - Determination of modulus of elasticity of wood-based panels for?

BS EN 310 on wood-based panels is useful for: 

• Wood-based panels manufacturers and suppliers
• Quality control department
• Architectures

Why should you use BS EN 310 - Determination of modulus of elasticity of wood-based panels?

 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 310 provides a test method to determine the modulus of elasticity in bending strength showing the load the wood can withstand.  Modulus of elasticity is the prime feature in the calculation of the deformation response of wood-based panels when stress is applied.

This will help to check the durability of the wood-based panels can last longer and can prevent the waste of money and time in refurnishing.
