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.
