The article presents an analysis of the test results of compressive stress at 10% deformation, obtained for EPSi (for load bearing applications) polystyrene boards samples. The influence of the dimensions of the samples, compliant with the requirements of various standards, on the value of the compressive stress at 10%strain was examined. It was concluded in the scope of the analyzed test results, that the size of the polystyrene sample did not significantly affect the compressive stress.
