In this study, particleboards manufactured in 16 different plants were investigated recording their physical and mechanical properties. The results were compared according to EN-312 standard. Bending strength was found as 8,43 N/mm2 minimum and 16,8 N/mm2 maximum. Internal bond strength was found 0,155 N/mm2 minimum and 0,768 N/mm2 maximum. According to EN-312 standard, bending strength must be at least 13 N/mm2 and internal bond strength must be 0,350 N/mm2. According to the results, there are some significant differences observed between these plants (enterprises), the compatibility ratio was calculated as %61,12 to EN-312 standard, this ratio must be increased for Turkey which is in the state of joining European Union.
