Marine Ply Manufacturing Standards

Marine Plywood is manufactured to an exacting standard to ensure it is fit for purpose. The ocean is not a forgiving place and sub standard materials are quickly shown to be inadequate for the task.  

There are two main marine ply standards that we see in Australia namely AS/NZS 2272:2006 (The Australian and New Zealand Standard) and BS1088-1:2003 (The British standard which is read in conjunction with BS1088-2:2003 which is a standard used for determining glue bond quality in BS1088 marine ply).

Both standards are similar and specify in detail the manufacturing tolerances and allowable defects in ply sheets. For example;

BS1088-1:2003	AS/NZS 2272
Pin knots in face veneers - up to 6 per square metre  of panel surface  Pin knots in core veneers  - unlimited number	For Face veneers - Knots (sound intergrown)-not  exceeding 4 mm measured across the grain and not  more than four per sheet. For core veneers - sound knots - unlimited in number

So probably the biggest problem we face is that there is a bunch of ply being manufactured that does not comply and both the manufacturers and sellers of the ply are aware of this fact yet they are still happy to tout their product as being BS1088 compliant. Third party certification that the ply has actually been manufactured to the standard is considered to be the most stringent test of compliance.  Lloyds Register  are one such body that independently assesses products such as Gaboon marine ply against set standards.

Hongcheng as a professional supplier and manufactory of LVL, Formply and Structural plywood, we know the importance of quality and certificate. Our partner factory of marine plywood has a complete manufacturing, inspection and testing system, as well as a sound third-party certification.
