BIS CERTIFICATION FOR PLYWOOD FOR GENERAL PURPOSES IS 303:1989

February 08, 2023 | 2 min Read

BIS certification is mandatory for plywood for general purposes, and IS 303:1989 establishes requirements for various types and grades of plywood used in general applications. Plywood for general purposes must meet the standards of boiling water resistant (BWR) grade or moisture resistant (MR) grade, depending on the bond strength achieved by the adhesive used for veneer bonding. In terms of permissible defects, the classification into three types-AA, AB and BB is based on the quality of the two surfaces, denoted as A and B.

Plywood for general purposes comes under the ISI certification scheme, under the rules outlined in IS 303:1989. It is noteworthy that without ISI mark, these products cannot be legally marketed, imported or exported in the Indian consumer market. In the field of manufacturing and selling of essential construction materials in India, BIS certification is not only a legal mandate but also an important determinant of the reputation and success of the manufacturers.
