Foreword
BS 5669 has been prepared under the direction of the Timber Standards Policy
Committee. This revision supersedes BS 5669:1979, which is withdrawn.
Since BS 5669:1979 was published, the range of particleboards available has
continued to grow. The format of the 1979 edition, which covered only four board
types, did not permit the expansion necessary to include additional types of
particleboard and this revision therefore comprises a series of Parts of BS 5669,
as follows.
Part 1: Methods of sampling, conditioning and test;
Part 2: Specification for wood chipboard;
Part 3: Specification for oriented strand board (OSB);
Part 4: Specification for cement bonded particleboard;
Part 5: Code of practice for the selection and application of particleboards for
specific purposes.
This Part of BS 5669 specifies six types of wood chip-board in terms of their
property levels rather than by types of adhesive or wood species used. Four of
these were included in the 1979 edition of this standard while a further two have
been added to reflect the continued development of the product. These additional
types are C1A wood chipboard based on the recommended levels for chipboard in
furniture given in appendix C of BS 5669:1979 (which has also been extended to
cover thicker boards which were not included previously) and C5 which is a
structural grade of wood chipboard.
Since publication of the 1989 edition of this standard, changes in manufacturing
methods have resulted in Types C3 and C4 chipboards becoming commercially
unavailable. The requirements for C3 and C4 chipboards have therefore been
deleted and new grades C3 (M) and C4 (M) have been included. It should be noted
that two properties (tensile strength perpendicular to the board after cyclic
exposure and increase in thickness after cyclic exposure) of these grades are
measured by a new test method (given in an amendment to Part 1 of BS 5669).
Protection from insect or fungal attack has not been taken into account in this
Part of BS 5669, and where this is required special grades of boards should be
specified.
Board sizes are not specified in this Part of BS 5669 but where there is a
requirement for coordinating sizes, they should be as specified in BS 6750.
Density is not a requirement of this Part of BS 5669, but should measurement of
density be required the method given in BS 5669-1 should be used.
The definition given for particleboard in 2.1 has been replaced by the definition
given in clause 2 of BS EN 309:1992.
The test methods used in assessing wood chipboard are given in BS 5669-1 and
are identical with those used for particleboards specified in BS 5669-3 and
BS 5669-4.
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.

1 Scope
This Part of BS 5669 specifies requirements for six
types of wood chipboard from 6 mm to 50 mm
thickness, classified according to property levels
rather than by the types of adhesive or wood species
used (see clause 3).
Manufacturing requirements covering permitted
tolerances on the sizes of boards together with mean
quality levels and marking requirements are
specified.
Appendix A gives guidance on within-board and
between-board standard deviation.
Appendix B gives guidance on verifying compliance
with this Part of BS 5669.
Methods of test for wood chipboard are not included
in this Part of BS 5669 but are given in BS 5669-1.
Recommendations for the selection and application
of the various types of particleboards for specific
purposes are given in BS 5669-5.
BS 5669 does not cover requirements for extruded
particleboard or flaxboard.
NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this standard
are listed on the inside back cover.
2 Definitions
For the purposes of this Part of BS 5669 the
definitions given in BS 6100-4.3 apply except that
the definition for particleboard is as given in
BS EN 309. For ease of reference, this definition is
repeated in 2.1.
2.1
particleboard
panel material manufactured under pressure and
heat from particles of wood (wood flakes, chips,
shavings, saw dust, wafers, strands and similar)
and/or other lignocellulosic material in particle form
(flax shives, hemp shives, bagasse fragments and
similar) with the addition of an adhesive
2.2
wood chipboard
particleboard made exclusively from small particles
and a binder
3 Classification
Six types of wood chipboard are specified in terms of
their strength and moisture resistance.
1) Grade
4 Dimensional tolerances
Each board shall be rectangular and shall have
straight, square edges. When measured in
accordance with clause 7 of BS 5669-1:1989, the
appropriate dimensional tolerances given in Table 2
shall apply for each board.
stresses and modification factors for structural wood chipboard are given in BS 5268-2.
2) The
requirements given in Table 1 for resistance of the cyclic test are equivalent to those for the proposed type P5
particleboard specified in EN 312-5 Particleboards Specifications Part 5: Requirements for load-bearing boards for use in
humid conditions.

BSI
BS 5669-2:1989
7 Moisture content
When tested in accordance with clause 9 of
BS 5669-1:1989 the moisture content of the boards
on leaving the place of manufacture shall be not less
than 5 % and not more than 13 %.
8 Thermal conductivity
10 Marking
Each board shall be clearly and indelibly marked by
the manufacturer, either by direct printing or by an
adhesive label, with the following information:
a) the number and date of this British Standard,
i.e. BS 5669-2:19893);
b) the manufacturers name, trade mark or
identification mark;
c) the type of board, i.e. C1, C2, C3(M), C4(M)
or C5.
3)
Marking BS 5669-2:1989 on or in relation to a product represents a manufacturers declaration of conformity, i.e. a claim by or
on behalf of the manufacturer that the product meets the requirements of the standard. The accuracy of the claim is therefore
solely the responsibility of the person making the claim. Such a declaration is not to be confused with third party certification of
conformity, which may also be desirable.

NOTE 1 The strength and elasticity values are not suitable for structural design purposes without appropriate reduction factors (see clause 3).
NOTE 2 Impact values for boards less than 6 mm thick vary considerably with the thickness of the board, and the methods described in clause 21 of BS 5669-1:1989 might not be
appropriate to all thicknesses.
NOTE 3 Type C2 and C4(M) boards are not normally available in nominal thicknesses of less than 18 mm.
NOTE 4 The limits for increase in thickness are the maximum values.
NOTE 5 For types C3(M) and C4(M) boards the values for both tensile strength perpendicular to the plane of the board after cyclic exposure, and increase in thickness after cyclic
exposure, shall be determined in accordance with clause 27 of BS 5669-1:1989. For type C5 board they shall be determined in accordance with clauses 16.1 and 16.2 of
BS 5669-1:1989 respectively.
