The move represents further action by the TTF to ensure product performance in hardwood plywood, following on from last year’s agreement to enact mandatory third-party verification of marine plywood for TTF members.
The TTF said there had been ongoing concerns about hardwood plywood being imported to the UK, particularly Chinese-made products.
It said the latest decision would help eliminate the unfairness borne by many EU-based manufacturers and allays their concerns about the “unjust” effect within the plywood market.
