Hi, please excuse this if it’s a daft question. This piece of board is above a cupboard in my kitchen. I think many moons ago (this is my childhood home so roughly the 90s ) there was an electric meter or fuse board in a cupboard where this is now. I don’t remember it being removed or that board going up but since buying the house we are finding all kinds of weird and wonderful things by dad did in the past. Is this just chip board or is it likely some kind of asbestos board the meter would have been attached to?

Thanks for the reply. I thought chipboard then read that anything with asbestos was often labelled and it looks like there was some kind of stickers on there in the past that have fallen off and it made me wonder if it was asbestos or could be covering it
 
By and large, bare materials products such as sheet wood from DIY sheds have labels on so the checkout staff can scan it without knowing what it is.. But it makes sense to verify if not sure
