1 SCHEME OF TESTING AND INSPECTION FOR CERTIFICAATION OF VENEERED DECORATIVE PLYWOOD ACCORDING TO IS 1328:1996 (Third Revision) DOC:STI/1328/4 1. LABORATORY -A laboratory shall be maintained which shall be suitably equipped and staffed, where different tests given in the specification shall be carried out in accordance with the methods given in the specification. 1.1 All testing apparatus shall be periodically checked and calibrated and records of such checks/calibrated shall be maintained. 2.0 TEST RECORDS -All records of tests and inspection shall be kept in suitable forms approved by the Bureau. 2.1 Copies of any records and other connected papers that may be required by the Bureau shall be made available at any time on request. 3.0 QUALITY CONTROL It is recommended that, as far as possible, Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods may be used for controlling the quality of the product during production as envisaged in this Scheme [See IS 397 (Part I) : 1972, IS 397 (Part 2) : 1985 and IS 397 (Part 3) : 1980]. 3.1 In addition, effort should be made to gradually introduce a Quality Management System in accordance with the Quality System modules as per IS/ISO 9001 or IS/ISO 9002 or IS/ISO 9003 as appropriate to the activities of the organization. 4.0 STANDARD MARK The standard mark (s) as given in column (1) of the First Schedule of the licence shall be stamped on each plywood board, provided always that the veneered decorative plywood to which this mark is applied conforms to every requirement of the specification. 5. Marking Each Vaneered decorative plywood shall be legibly and indelibly marked or stamped with the following on the face near one corner. a) Indication of the source of manufacture; b) Year of Manufacture; c) Batch No. and d) Type e) CM/L No

2 DOC: STI/1328/4 6.0 RAW MATERIAL Timber used shall be as per Cl , of the standard. Preservative where allow shall be used as per Cl of the standard. Adhesive shall be MR type synthetic resin adhesive as per Cl. 5.2 and plywood of MR type as per Cl 5.3 of the standard. The adhesive and plywood shall be checked for their conformity to relevant IS before use. 7.0 MANUFATURE - Decorative Vaneers shall be manufactured as per procedure described in Cl. 6.1 & 6.2 of IS 1328: CONTROL UNIT For the purpose of this scheme, the total numbers of panels of same construction and type pressed with one adhesive mix shall constitute a Control Unit. Note: Panels in which the arrangement of Vaneers is similar as regards thickness and species of timber for face plies shall be considered to be of similar construction. 9.0 LEVELS OF CONTROL The tests as indicated in Table 1 and at levels of control specified therein shall be carried out on the whole production of the factory covered by the scheme and appropriate records and charts maintained in accordance with clause 2.0 above. All the production which conforms to the Indian Standard and covered by this licence shall be marked with Certification Mark of the Bureau. 9.1 MOISTURE CONTENT Two samples from every control unit shall be tested for its conformance to the requirement of moisture content as laid down in clause of the specification. In the event of the failure of this sample, the plywood in the entire control unit shall be suitably recondition. Such reconditioned material when tested again shall conform to the requirement of the specification for moisture content. 9.2 WATER RESISTANCE TEST A sample from every ;control unit which has passed the requirement of moisture content as given in clause 9.1 above, shall be subjected to test for water resistance for its conformance to this requirement of the specification as laid down in clause of the specification. If the samples selected are found not to be complying fully with the requirement, two samples shall be taken from the same control unit and subjected to the above test. If any of the samples in the second set fails to conform to the requirement of the test, all the material in the control unit represented by samples shall be rejected.

3 DOC: STI/1328/4 9.3 VISUAL DEFECT AND FINISH All finished product passed as in 9.1 & 9.2 above shall be examined for freedom from visual defects and surface finish for conforms to the specification in accordance with the requirement laid down in clauses 7 and 9 of the specification. Only those which are satisfactory in all respects shall be marked. 9.4 DIMENSIONS The dimensions of all the Vaneered decorative plywood shall be measured and those found to be not conforming to the requirements as laid down in clause 8 of the specification shall not be marked The product found defective as in 9.3 and 9.4 may however, be dimensioned to the next smaller sizes to removes the defects. Such board when examined again shall satisfy the requirements of visual defects, finish and dimensions REJECTIONS A separate record shall be maintained giving information relating to the rejection of the production not conforming to the requirement of the specification and the method of its disposal. Such material shall in no case be stored together with that conforming to the specification SAMPLES The licensee shall supply, free of charge, the samples required in accordance with Bureau of Indian Standard (Certification) Regulations, 1988 as subsequently amended, from his factory or godowns. The Bureau shall pay for the samples taken by it from the open markets REPLACEMENT Whenever a complaint is received soon after the goods with Standard Marks have been purchased and used and if there is adequate evidence that the goods have not been misused, defective goods are replaced free of cost by the licensee in case the complaint is proved to be genuine and the warranty period (where applicable) has not expired. The final authority to judge the conformity of the product to the Indian Standard shall be with the Bureau.

4 DOC:STI/1328/ STOP MARKING The marking of the product shall be stopped under intimation to the Bureau if, at any time there is some difficulty in maintaining the conformity of their product to the specification, or the testing equipment goes out of order. The marking may be resumed as soon as the defects are removed under intimation to Bureau. The marking of the product shall be stopped immediately if directed to do so by Bureau for any reason. The marking may then be resumed only after permission by the Bureau. The information regarding resumption of marking shall also be sent to the Bureau PRODUCTION DATA The licensee shall send to BIS as per the enclosed proforma to be authenticated by a Charted Accountant a statement of quality produced, marked and exported by him and the trade value thereof end of each operative year of the licence (See proforma enclosed).

If the sample fails 2 more samples from the same Control Unit is tested again. If any samples in the retest fails, all the material of the control unit shall be rejected. * The plywood board found defective in 9.1 & 9.2 of the standard may however be dimensioned to the next smaller size to remove the defects, such board when examined shall satisfy the requirement of visual defects, dimensions and finish. ** A moisture meter may be used for the routine testing of moisture content. In that case the regarding obtained for moisture for moisture content should not exceed 12%. At least once a week the method given in the specification may be employed for checking up the results obtained with the moisture meter and the error for the moisture meter determined accordingly. A record of all these determinations shall be kept.
