board);
b) Plywood for concrete formwork, after treated with resin veneer (referred to as
resin-coated board);
c) Plywood for concrete formwork, that has been veneered with impregnated film
paper (referred to as film-coated board).
2 Normative references

AND the same thickness.
3.2.2 The uniformity of the finished product structure shall be considered. The total
thickness of the surface panel AND the veneer with the same fiber direction as the

3.5 Grades and allowable defects
3.5.1 Generally, the grade is judged by visual inspection of the allowable defects on the
finished plywood. The grade depends on the allowable material defects, processing
be 0.10 MPa or 0.20 MPa lower than the index value, which is specified in Table 6,
respectively.
3.6.3 In the design of formwork engineering, see Appendix A for the correction factor,
for the flexural performance of plywood used for concrete formwork.
4 Test method
4.1 Measurement of dimensions
4.1.1 The finished samples, which are used for dimension determination of plywood for
concrete formwork, shall be randomly selected, from the batch submitted for inspection.
4.1.2 The thickness, length, width of plywood for concrete formwork shall be carried
out, in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 19367.1-2003. The straightness and
perpendicularity of the edge shall be carried out, in accordance with the provisions of
GB/T 19367.2-2003. The measurement of warpage shall be carried out, in accordance
with the provisions of GB/T 9846.2-2004.
4.2 Determination of physical and mechanical properties
4.2.1 For the specimen, for the determination of moisture content and bonding strength
of plywood for concrete formwork, it shall be prepared according to the provisions of
GB/T 9846.7-2004.
4.2.2 For the determination of moisture content of plywood for concrete formwork, it
shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions in 4.3 of GB/T 17657-1999.
4.2.3 For the determination of the bonding strength of plywood for concrete formwork,
it shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions in 4.15 of GB/T 17657-1999.
The conditioning of the test piece shall be carried out, in accordance with the
conditioning method a) Type-I plywood in 4.15.4.2.
4.2.4 For the determination of static bending strength and elastic modulus of plywood
for concrete formwork, it shall be carried out according to the provisions in 4.9 of GB/T
17657-1999. According to the distribution of the bonding strength specimens from each
sample, respectively cut 3 specimens, whose length is parallel to the fiber direction of
the surface panel (rift grain) or perpendicular (cross grain). The length of the test piece
is 20 times the nominal thickness of the board plus 50 mm; the width is 75 mm.
4.2.5 For the determination of dipping peel performance of plywood for coated concrete
formwork, it shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of 4.17 in GB/T
17657-1999. The method shall be carried out according to the conditioning a) in
4.17.4.1. From each sample plate, cut 3 pieces of 75 mm × 75 mm specimens, according
to the distribution of the bonding strength specimens.
5.2.3.3.1 The results of testing the bonding strength are determined as follows:
When the number of test pieces, that meet the requirements of the bonding strength
index value, is equal to or greater than 90% of the total number of valid test pieces, the
performance of this batch of plywood is judged to be qualified. When it is less than
70%, it is judged to be unqualified. If the number of test pieces, that meet the
requirements of the bonding strength index value, is greater than or equal to 70% of the
total number of valid test pieces, BUT less than 90%, re-sampling is allowed for re-
inspection; when the number of test pieces, that meet the performance requirements of
this index, is greater than or equal to 90% of the total number of valid test pieces, it is
judged as qualified; when it is less than 90%, it is judged as unqualified.
5.2.3.3.2 The results of testing moisture content, static bending strength, elastic
modulus are determined as follows:
When the arithmetic mean moisture content, arithmetic mean static bending strength,
arithmetic mean elastic modulus of all test specimens meet the requirements of the
index values, the moisture content, static bending strength, elastic modulus of the batch
of plywood are judged to be qualified. If a certain item fails, it is allowed to re-sample
it for re-inspection AND then determine whether it is qualified or not.
5.2.3.3.3 The results of the test dipping peel performance are determined as follows:
When all the test specimens meet the requirements of the index value, it is judged to be
qualified; otherwise, it is judged to be unqualified, AND it is allowed to re-sample them
for re-inspection and then judge whether they are qualified or not.
5.3 When the three inspections of size, appearance grade, physical and mechanical
properties are all qualified, the batch of products is judged as qualified; otherwise, it is
judged as unqualified. For products with unqualified appearance grades, the
manufacturer shall re-inspect them all.
5.4 The finished product is calculated in cubic meters; its allowable tolerance shall not
be counted. When measuring a single board, it can be accurate to 0.00001 m3; when
calculating a batch of boards, it can be accurate to 0.001 m3.
5.5 When the product leaves the factory, the manufacturer shall issue a product quality
certificate, indicating the product grade, size, physical and mechanical properties,
production batch number, etc.
5.6 Under the storage conditions that are stacked flat, free from high temperature and
moisture, the time limit for the manufacturer to accept product quality disputes is within
one year, from the date of delivery.
