Overview
EN 319:1993 is a CEN test standard that specifies a laboratory method for measuring the tensile strength perpendicular to the plane of the board - commonly called the internal bond (IB) - of particleboards, fibreboards, and cement-bonded particleboards. The standard defines how to determine a board’s resistance to forces that try to pull the layers apart through the thickness, a key indicator of panel integrity and adhesive performance. (EN 319 was adopted nationally in several countries; for example, it is identical to the Slovenian standard SIST EN 319:1996.)
Key Topics and Requirements
- Scope: Applies to particleboards, fibreboards and cement-bonded particleboards for which internal bond strength is a relevant performance attribute.
- Purpose: Determines tensile strength perpendicular to the plane (internal bond) to evaluate adhesive effectiveness, panel cohesion and manufacturing consistency.
- Specimen preparation: Requires representative sampling and preparation of test specimens to ensure repeatable measurement (details provided in the standard).
- Test conditions: Specifies laboratory conditions, mounting and loading arrangements, and reporting conventions to ensure comparability of results.
- Results interpretation: Provides a basis for reporting tensile strength values and for use in quality control, product specifications and compliance assessment.
Note: This summary describes the standard’s focus and typical content areas; consult the full EN 319 text for exact procedural and dimensional requirements.
Applications and Who Uses It
- Board manufacturers use EN 319 for production quality control, process optimization and supplier evaluation of raw materials and adhesives.
- Testing laboratories perform standardized IB tests for certification, batch verification and failure analysis.
- Product developers / R&D teams rely on internal bond data to compare formulations, adhesives and pressing conditions.
- Specifiers, architects and building product certifiers reference IB values when assessing suitability of panels for structural, flooring and furniture applications.
- Regulatory and conformity assessment bodies use EN 319 test results as part of compliance with product standards and performance declarations.
Related Standards
- EN 319 is typically used alongside product standards that set minimum performance or grade requirements for particleboards (for example, EN 312) and relevant fibreboard specifications. Check national and CEN product standards for required IB criteria and intended end-use classes.
