Wood-based panels. Determination of duration of load and creep factors Ingestion-build-86103 11 Disclosing new data elements1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method of determining in a constant climate both a duration of load factor and a creep factor for wood based panels stressed in flatwise bending with and without a shear component. Details of an alternative but provisional method employing medium sized test pieces are given in Annex A; this method can also be used for test pieces loaded under varying climates. NOTE The duration of load factor is necessary to
