FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted bv the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finahzed
by the Wood Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering DIvISIon
Council.
Cement bonded particle board, which IS now being manufactured 10 our country, is made from a
mixture of wo o i part icles a-id cement This standard IS now formulated to provide necessary
guidance to the manufacturers and users of this product.
In the formulatIOn of thrs standard, considerable assistance has been derived from the folJuwing
standards:
ISO 8335 . 1987 'Cement -- bonded particle boards - Boards of Portland or equivalent
cement reinforced with fibrous wood particles', issued by Inrernatronal Orgarnzanon for
Standardization.
BS 5669 Part 4 : 1989 'Particle board : Part 4 Specification for cement bonded particle board',
issued by British Standards Instrtute.
The committee responsible for the the preparation of this standard is given at Annex B
Por the purpose of deciding whether a particular rcqurr ement of this standard IS complied with,
the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the I esult of a test or analysts, shall be
rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 . Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)'.
The number of srgmficant places retained In the rounded off value should be the same as that of
the specified value in this standard.
