Marine Ply Manufacturing Standards

Below is some general information on BS1088 plywood.  It is important when buying timber for your project that you are informed about what you are purchasing so you end up with the best products for your boat.
 
For those looking to build a boat using marine plywood in Australia there are a number of options to choose from but not many in the lightweight category.  The choice of many boat builders for years has been a ply made from an African hardwoood called Okoume or Gaboon. 
 

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.
