The requirements for some supplementary properties are given in annex A. The requirements in Tables 2 to 8 shall be met by 5 percentile values (95 percentile values in the case of swelling in thickness), based on the mean test values for individual panels and calculated in accordance with EN 326-1. In the case of swelling in thickness, they shall be equal to or less than the values in the Tables, and in the case of all other properties, they shall be equal to or greater than the values in the Tables. The values in the Tables for both bending strength and modulus of elasticity shall apply to test results obtained in any direction in the plane of the panel. Properties not required for specific board types are marked “. With the exception of swelling in thickness, internal bond after boil test (see Tables 7, 8) and bending strength after boil test (see Tables 3, 4, 8), the values given in the Tables are characterised by a moisture content in the material corresponding to a temperature of 20 °C and a relative humidity of 65 %. The values given for swelling in thickness, internal bond after boil test and bending strength after boil test are characterised by a moisture content in the material corresponding to a temperature of 20 °C and a relative humidity of 65 % before the treatment (immersion in water or boil treatment). The moisture resistance of medium boards for use in humid and exterior conditions (see Tables 3, 4, 7 and 8) is assessed either as internal bond after boil test (according to EN 1087-1), with the modified procedure given in annex B, or as bending strength after boil test (according to EN 1087-1), with the modified procedure given in annex C. These two testing procedures are regarded as equivalent alternatives. Where requirements for both procedures are given, compliance with only one set of specifications is required (see Table 8). 4.2 Requirements for general purpose boards 4.2.1 Requirements for boards for use in dry conditions Table 2 specifies the requirements for general purpose boards for use in dry conditions, e.g. interior fitments including furniture.
