A series of performance requirements relating to species, and a procedure for evaluating and admitting new species are included. One bond type, Type A bond, is prescribed. Two face veneer grades A and O have been specified. Quality A veneer is to be specified where a high quality clear finish is required and Quality O where the marine plywood product is to be overlaid with fibreglass or similar coatings or overlays, or painted with a pigmented paint or varnish.
