This part of BS 1088 specifies requirements for marine plywood for use in the manufacture of marine craft and in other marine and waterway applications. It also applies to marine plywood that has been selected for use in building construction, in extreme climates and in such applications as vehicle bodies and general building work where a high standard of durability is required or where the cost of replacement in the event of failure might be high.
This standard does not include strength data, which can be used to derive characteristic values or grade stresses for use in engineering design.
Together with BS 1088-2, it supersedes BS 1088:1966 and BS 4079:1966, which are withdrawn.
