BS ISO 23478:2022 PDF Download

BS ISO 23478:2022 is a standard that provides test methods to determine the physical and mechanical properties of engineered bamboo products. The standard covers a range of properties including modulus of elasticity in bending, shear modulus, bending strength, modulus of elasticity in tension parallel to the fibre, tension strength parallel to the fibre, modulus of elasticity in compression parallel to the fibre, compression strength parallel to the fibre, modulus of elasticity in tension perpendicular to the fibre, tension strength perpendicular to the fibre, modulus of elasticity in compression perpendicular to the fibre, compression strength perpendicular to the fibre, and shear strength parallel to the fibre.

In addition to the mechanical properties, the standard also specifies test methods for determining dimensions, moisture content, and density of the engineered bamboo products. These test methods are applicable to prismatic shapes of glued laminated bamboo and bamboo scrimber that are designed to withstand flexure, shear, axial loads, or a combination of these forces. The standard provides a comprehensive framework for evaluating the physical and mechanical characteristics of engineered bamboo products, ensuring their quality and suitability for various applications.
