FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Third Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by
the Wood and Other Lignocellulosic Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering
Division Council.
Plywood for concrete shuttering works is a BWP grade plywood, preservative treated and specially suited for use
in concrete shuttering and form work. Concrete shuttering plywood is very economic as it can be put to repeated
use, depending upon the care taken during erection and dismantling. The main requirements of such plywood are
that it should be durable under alternate wetting and drying conditions, its surface should be hard and it should
possess adequate strength to withstand the load of concrete and the forces caused by pouring of concrete and
vibrations. This standard specifies the requirements of such plywood for use in concrete shuttering and form
work and provides guidance in the manufacture and use of the plywood.
This standard was first published in 1969 and revised in 1981 and 1990. In the second revision, the major
changes incorporated were:
a) Use of any species of timber was permitted subject to fulfillment of other requirements of the standard;
b) Three types of plywood, namely Type 1 (Plain), Type 2 (Coated), and Type 3 (Film faced) was specified;
c) Minimum thickness of face veneer was specified;
d) Amount of phenol formaldehyde or cresole formaldehyde to be used for making plywood for concrete
shuttering with plastic coating or with suitable overlay was redefined; and
e) Requirement for modulus of elasticity and corresponding tests was included.
The present revision has been undertaken to incorporate changes based on developments that have taken place
and the experience gained in manufacture and use of the product over the years. The following major changes
have been incorporated in this revision:
a) An alternate accelerated test for water resistance has been introduced;
b) New test requirement for wet bending strength has been specified and test method has been included;
and
c) Requirements for glue shear strength have been specified against different percentages of average wood
failure observed.
This standard also includes in Annex E, on recommended method for handling, storing and use of plywood for
concrete shuttering and form work.
In the formulation of this standard, due weightage has been given to international coordination among the standards
and practices prevailing in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field in this country.
A scheme of labelling environment friendly products to be known as ECO-Mark has been introduced at the
instance of the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MEF), Government of India. The ECO-Mark shall be
administered by the Bureau of Indian Standards under the BIS Act, 1986 as per the Resolution No. 71 dated 21
February 1991 and Resolution No. 425 dated 28 October 1992 published in the Gazette of the Government of
India. For a product to be eligible for ECO-Mark, it shall also carry the Standard Mark of the BIS besides
meeting additional environment friendly requirements. For this purpose, the Standard Mark of BIS would be a
single mark being a combination of the ISI Mark and the ECO logo. Requirements to be satisfied for a product to
qualify for the BIS Standard Mark for ECO friendliness will be optional; manufacturing units will be free to opt
for ISI Mark alone also.
The requirements pertaining to ECO criteria are based on the Gazette Notification No. 170 dated 18 May 1996
for wood substitutes as environment friendly products published in Gazette of Government of India.
The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of the standard is given in Annex F.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960
‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)’. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off
value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
