SECTION 1 GENERAL 1 Introduction 1.1 Objective The objective of this class programme (CP) is to describe the type approval (TA) scheme for plywood. The general requirements for obtaining DNV GL type approval certificate is given in class programme DNVGL CP 0338, DNV GL type approval scheme. The procedures and requirements described in this CP are applicable for obtaining TA certificate based on requirements given by the Society's rules and standards, e.g. RU SHIP Pt.2 Ch.3. Section 1 Guidance note: This class programme is not applicable for obtaining EU Marine Equipment Directive (MED) certificates. Visit www.dnvgl.com for information on MED certification. ---e-n-d---o-f---g-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e--- 1.2 Scope This CP gives a description of the procedures and requirements related to documentation, design and type testing applicable for TA of plywood. This CP does not set the design requirements to the plywood. TA is based on compliance with design requirements given in the DNV GL rules and/or other regulations and standards. The CP describes how to document compliance with the requirements in order to obtain a TA certificate for the material. This includes, where relevant, technical requirements for how the type tests shall be performed. The Society's type approval certificate will cover one quality grade of the actual product with the possibility to include variants. For plywood this means: Grade: one type of wood, from a defined geographical area variants: different numbers of plies, i.e. construction, are considered as variants. The Society's type approval certificate is normally limited to one manufacturer at one production site, however, other arrangements may be agreed upon with the Society. Type tests as specified in Sec.2 [3], shall be carried out and verified in one of the following ways: at a DNV GL laboratory at a recognized and independent laboratory or a laboratory accepted by DNV GL at the manufacturer s premises in the presence of a surveyor. 1.3 Application DNV GL rules RU SHIP Pt.2 Ch.3 require that plywood is type approved in accordance with this CP for materials to be installed on classed vessels. A TA certificate in accordance with this CP will confirm compliance with the requirements in the DNV GL rules as specified in [1.1].The TA certificate will not confirm compliance with requirements in other parts of the rules. In case additional requirements in other parts of the rules shall be covered by the TA certificate, this shall be specified in the application for TA and will be stated in the TA certificate.

Section 1 3 Documentation For TA of plywood the following additional documentation shall be submitted by the manufacturer at initial type approval, and updated at renewal (general documentation requirements are given by DNVGL CP 0338). The documentation shall, to the extent possible, be submitted as electronic files. The manufacturer shall keep one (1) copy of type approval documentation in their own file. The documentation that forms the basis for the TA shall be easily available for surveyors at the TA applicant s premises. When documentation is submitted in paper format, normally two copies of the documentation shall be submitted to the Society. No documentation will be returned to the company applying for TA. Please number documentation according to below list to facilitate review: 1) type designation, i.e. product name (grade) with list of variants to be included in and stated on the type approval certificate 2) basis for approval. A reference to applicable rules and standards, see Sec.2 [1], which the product is to comply with 3) product specification and description, and data sheets for all variants.

SECTION 2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 1 Design requirements The plywood shall comply with the relevant requirements of RU SHIP Pt.2 Ch.3. 2 Requirements to production and quality control arrangement The manufacturer should have a quality system that meets ISO 9001 standards, or equivalent. If this quality standard is not fulfilled, the extent of type testing and assessments will be specially considered. The quality control arrangement in production will particularly be checked with respect to: control of incoming materials scope of quality control, i.e. proof that test methods, test quantity and test equipment complies to the applicable standard EN or ISO traceability and marking system production records storage condition and procedure. Section 2 3 Requirements to material 3.1 General The results of the type testing shall be in conformance with the manufacturer's specifications for the product, which in turn shall be in conformance with the requirements stated or referred to in the below Table 1 and Table 2. Combustible materials are accepted for some ship applications, provided low ignitability and low flame spread properties are documented. If relevant and adequate documentation has been received, this will be stated on the type approval certificate. Test reports shall contain references to test procedures and complete records of test results. 3.2 Veneer plywoods. The following shall be reported in the type testing report: Bending strength, modulus of elasticity, shear strength of glue joint, density, thickness and number of plies.
