List of Individual Standards for Wood-based Panels
The UK and EU follow the same principles for the standards listed below. For ease of use we have combined the titles. For the UK, the titles simply have ‘BS’ for (British Standard) added.
When a standard has been reviewed and updated, that date is integrated into the standard title. When a standard is reviewed with no change, there is no change to the standard title. We indicate the date of confirming in brackets.
