DIN 54608:2017-08

This document specifies a test method for determining the bending strength of corrugated board. This includes all single-wall and double-wall corrugated board grades of flute profiles A, B, C, D and E and combinations of these. This document has been prepared by Working Committee NA 074-02-03 AA "Physikalisch-technische Prüfverfahren für Papier, Pappe und Faserstoff" ("Physical-technological test methods for paper and board") at DIN Standards Committee Paper, board and pulps (NPa). This method has been evaluated by a consortium of manufacturers and processors of corrugated board by means of interlaboratory testing. Reliable and reproducible measurement results are achieved only if all equipment is used as specified and is in flawless condition and/or if maintenance and testing are carried out carefully. The term "bending strength" refers only to the method described here.
