With the increase in cheap imported structural plywood to the Australian market, it is now more important than ever to ensure the materials you are using are up to Australian Standards.
The use of cheap imports not manufactured to Australian Standards increases the risk of poor performance or failure, and has seen problems arise in both structural and adhesive performance.
Australian Standards (AS/NZS 2269 – Structural Plywood) specify basic requirements for the manufacture and grading of structural plywood to protect against these issues arising.
EWPAA Certification
The EWPAA (Engineered Wood Products Association of Australia is an industry driven organisation which aims to improve the quality of the engineered wood products industry in Australia. One of the main objectives of the EWPAA is to provide quality control and product certification for plywood products throughout Australia.
The EWPAA Product Certification Scheme was designed to create a high consistency of plywood products throughout Australia. All EWPAA Certified products adhere to Australian Standards, including AS/NZS 2269.
