General Information
Frequently Asked Questions
ISO/TC 89/SC 2 is a Subcommittee within the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is named "Particle boards". This committee has published 4 standards.
ISO/TC 89/SC 2 develops ISO standards. Currently, there are 4 published standards from this subcommittee.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes international standards. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together experts from 170+ member countries to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.
A Subcommittee (SC) in ISO operates under a Technical Committee and focuses on a specific subset of the TC's scope. Subcommittees develop standards and technical specifications in their specialized area, reporting to their parent Technical Committee. They may also have working groups for detailed technical work.
ISO 16893:2016 specifies a classification matrix and the related mandatory tests and thickness ranges to be applied to wood-based particleboard for general purposes, furniture, load-bearing applications and heavy-duty load-bearing applications. It then provides the manufacturing property requirements for these types of uncoated particleboard. The values listed in this International Standard relate to product properties used to classify particleboards into one of four grades (P-GP, P-FN, P-LB or P-HLB, see Clause 3), for use in three service conditions (REG, MR1 and MR2). The values are not characteristic values to be used for design purposes.

ISO 16894:2009 gives definitions, classifications and specifications for the manufacturing requirements of oriented strand board (OSB). The values given are used to classify OSB into one of four types, namely OSB type GP-REG, LB-REG, LB-MR or HLB-MR. The values are related to panel properties, but are not characteristic values to be used for design purposes.
