CUZI PLY structural plywood is configured for roof, wall, floor and engineered panel supply through a defined veneer species, balanced lay-up, durable bond, 8–12% moisture target, controlled thickness and declared performance requirements. Project, EN-aligned and Australia/New Zealand options connect the selected panel construction with sampling, factory production control, marking and shipment identification, so buyers can compare quotations on the same grade, dimensions and document scope.
Each option connects its construction with the relevant sampling, production-control and marking requirements.
Match the panel construction, declared properties, sampling and marking to the buyer's project schedule.
Combine EN product classification, characteristic values, tests, factory control and marking for one defined construction.
Match grade, construction, testing, production control and marking to AS/NZS 2269.0.
Three connected records carry the selected panel from quotation through design and installation.
Construction, grade, properties, dimensions, FPC, marking and shipment identity.
Loads, spans, support centres, orientation, bracing and connection schedule.
Support, blocking, fasteners, edge distance, weather protection and inspection.
Record the intended service condition, product standard, grade, species group, ply schedule, density, moisture, thickness family, property source, sampling, test method, factory control and marking. Exterior-bond durability and structural performance are specified together through the selected product options.
Which grade or declared value set is required?
Name the standard, loading direction and property source.Which species, lay-up, bond and thickness create that property?
Confirm the evaluated construction before price comparison.How are test data converted into characteristic values?
Connect sampling, method and statistical evaluation.How will production remain consistent with the evaluated panel?
Define FPC, inspection, change control and marking.Use the same panel construction, required documents and test coverage when comparing performance and price.

A property record becomes useful when production control can reproduce the panel.
The test setup records specimen direction, support spacing and loading position for the selected panel construction.
The selected programme combines the relevant standards into one complete product specification.
Grade, construction, testing, production control and marking are coordinated for Australia/New Zealand.
Service-condition classification and applicable construction-panel declaration remain distinct linked steps.
Characteristic values apply only to plywood inside the stated density, construction and thickness scope.
Mechanical tests and characteristic-value evaluation are combined with a valid sampling plan.
Sampling, test-piece preparation, initial type testing, FPC and consignment inspection use the applicable part.
North American marking requires an applicable qualified mill/product and authorised programme.
Bond testing supports the nominated exposure requirements without replacing structural evaluation.
Typical sheathing applications connect the declared panel with the project design and installation schedule.
The project designer completes the selected panel with spans, support centres and a connection schedule.
1220×2440×18 mm structural plywood, USD/m³ reference basis
Species, lay-up, bond, buyer property schedule and sampling shape the project panel range.
Testing, characteristic-value evaluation, FPC and EN declaration inputs are reflected in this programme.
Qualified grade, production control, marking and importer documents define the Australia/New Zealand reference range.
Reference ranges compare current structural-panel market observations with the species, lay-up, grade, testing, production-control and marking requirements of each option. The final quotation adjusts for dimensions, thickness mix, treatment, packing, order volume, Incoterm and destination.
Quotation variables: Species, ply schedule, grade, property option, test programme, factory production control, marking, dimensions, thickness mix, treatment compatibility, packing, quantity and destination.
Marking: identify the product, grade, standard, producer/product scope, size, thickness and production lot.
Packing: use flat, aligned supports that protect panel geometry and keep each production lot identified.
Performance, standards and project use
Structural plywood combines a defined species, balanced lay-up, bond and thickness with a recognised grade or declared property set. Sampling, testing or an accepted classification requirements, factory production control and marking connect that construction to its intended structural use.
Exterior bond provides glue-line durability for the nominated exposure condition. The complete structural specification adds the qualifying construction, grade or declared properties, production control and product identification.
EN 636 classifies plywood specifications for intended dry, humid or exterior conditions and general or structural use. EN 13986 addresses relevant characteristics, conformity evaluation and marking for wood-based panels used in construction. The product options may use both, but their functions are not interchangeable.
EN 789 supplies mechanical test methods. EN 1058 addresses evaluation of characteristic values from valid data. EN 12369-2 provides characteristic-value options for qualifying plywood groups inside its construction scope. The RFQ identifies which path applies.
Specify the exact grade, veneer and lay-up construction, bond, dimensions and moisture; then align testing, production control, marking and importer or project documents. The confirmed programme scope identifies the applicable thicknesses and sizes.
Yes. A North American option coordinates the applicable product and mill qualification programme, test scope and marking authorisation. EN and AS/NZS constructions retain their own grade and marking options.
A qualified structural panel can be selected for those uses when its grade, properties and exposure requirements match the design. The responsible project file provides spans, supports, orientation, blocking, fastening, bracing and construction-weather protection.
Eighteen millimetres is a common specification point. Formats such as 1525×3050, 1220×3800 and 2100×2800 mm require review of lay-up, press, flatness, test/property scope, handling, support, packing and marking before acceptance.
Provide structural use, nominated standard and grade, designer property input, face/core species, lay-up, bond and exposure, size, thickness, tolerance, treatment compatibility, test and FPC scope, marking, quantity, destination and required documents. CUZI PLY can then recommend the suitable Incoterm and packing plan.
