Inspection Specification for Medium Density Board

1. Purpose of this standard

To ensure the quality of the company cabinets products, to carry out quality control on the raw materials of the medium density fiberboard, this specification is specially formulated


2. The scope of application of this standard

It is suitable for the incoming inspection of melamine sheets for cabinets.


3. Reference Standard

GB/T 11718--1999  "Medium density fiberboard"

GB/T 18884--2002  "Home Kitchen Equipment"


4. Classification of medium density fiberboard:

4.1 Indoor type medium density fiberboard, suitable for dry environment.

4.2 Indoor moisture-proof medium-density fiberboard, suitable for humid environments.

4.3 outdoor mdf, suitable for outdoor use.

The general raw materials used in cabinets are indoor and indoor moisture-proof medium-density fiberboard.


5. Medium Density Fiberboard Terminology

5.1 Medium density fiberboard:

It uses wood fiber or other plant fibers as raw materials, and applies urea-formaldehyde resin or other synthetic resins. Under the piece, a sheet of pressed material. Other suitable additives can also be added to improve the characteristics of the board.

5.2 Indoor MDF:

Does not have a medium density fiberboard that is not subjected to short-term water immersion or high humidity.

5.3 Indoor moisture-proof medium density fiberboard:

Medium density fiberboard with short-term water immersion or high humidity.

5.4 Outdoor MDF:

Medium density fiberboard that can withstand the aging effect of climatic conditions, water immersion or the damp heat of water vapor in a ventilated place.

5.5 Local softness: 

Local looseness caused by poor paving or poor bonding.

5.6 Corner defects: 

Defects caused by damage to the four corners or edges of the board.


6 Inspection requirements

6.1 Appearance quality requirements and size requirements:

Note: Appearance quality inspection is under natural light or approximate natural light within the range of 300-600LX illuminance (for example, 40W fluorescent lamp), and the viewing distance is 700mm-1000mm. The inspection will be carried out by two people, and most of the same conclusions will be the inspection results.

Use a vernier caliper to meas-ure 8 points at the four

 corners 25 mm inward of the four sides of the board and 

25 mm inward from the 

middle of the four sides of 

the board, and take the 

arithmetic average (note: the 

thickness of each measurement point in each board must not exceed its average土0.15mm)

Use a steel tape to measure

the length on both sides of 

the board width, and measur-e the width on both sides of 

the board length, take the 

maximum value.

Align the side of the steel tape with the two corners on the same side of the board, use a straightedge to measure the maximum deviation between the side of the board and the steel tape, and measure all

 four sides of the board.

Place the MDF with the

the two diagonal corners of 

the board with the sides of a steel tape (or thin steel wire 

rope), and use a steel ruler to measure the ratio of the maxi-mum chord height (warpage value) to the diagonal length That is the degree of 

warpage.

6.2 The supplier must provide the MDF physical and mechanical performance test report, including internal bonding strength, static bending strength, screw holding force, water absorption thickness expansion rate, moisture content, density, and the test results comply with GB/T11718-1999 indoor type, the requirements of the physical and mechanical properties of the board. It must also include the detection of free formaldehyde emission, and the test result meets the sanitation and environmental protection requirements specified in GB/T18884--- 2002, that is, the free formaldehyde emission of wood-based panels is ≤9mg/100g.

6.3 The company's other special requirements for MDF shall be indicated in the purchase contract.
