This British Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee B/541 and is
the English language version of EN 1128:1995 Cement-bonded particleboards —
Determination of hard body impact resistance, published by the European
Committee for Standardization (CEN).
EN 1128 was produced as a result of international discussions in which the UK
took an active part.
The principle of this method is technically equivalent to clause 21 of BS 5669
Particleboard — Part 1: Methods of sampling, conditioning and test, which will be
withdrawn in accordance with CEN provisions within 6 months of the completion
of the full package of standards covering particleboards and related test methods.
These standards are:
EN 120 EN 311 EN 312-7 EN 326-1 EN 1328
EN 300 EN 312-1 EN 322 EN 633
EN 309 EN 312-2 EN 323 EN 634-1
EN 310 EN 312-3 EN 324-1 EN 634-2
EN 317 EN 312-5 EN 324-2 EN 1087-1
EN 319 EN 312-6 EN 325 EN 1128
Cross-reference
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.
