1. Visual Inspection (Clause 5)

Objective: Check surface quality, defects, and uniformity.
Method: Inspect for defects like blisters, splits, overlaps, gaps, or roughness.
Result Criteria: Should be free from manufacturing defects; veneer must be decorative and well bonded.

2. Dimension & Squareness Check (Clause 6.1 & 6.2)

Method:

Tolerance Limits:

3. Moisture Content Test (Clause 6.3)

4. Adhesion of Veneer (Clause 6.4)

Objective: Check how well the decorative veneer adheres to the core.
Method: Use a knife test – make a cross cut on the surface and peel slightly.
Result: Veneer should not peel off easily.

5. Water Resistance Test (Clause 6.5)

Test varies with type

MR Grade: Immerse in water at 60 ± 2°C for 3 hours, then dry for 8 hours. Repeat for 3 cycles.
BWR Grade: Boiling water test for 8 hours.
Result: No delamination or separation of veneer.

6. Resistance to Dry Heat (Clause 6.6)

7. Resistance to Staining (Clause 6.7)

8. Surface Abrasion Resistance (Clause 6.8)

9. Modulus of Rupture (Bending Strength) (Clause 6.9)

10. Glue Shear Strength (Clause 6.10)
