Standards governing plywood sheeting

All plywood used in residential flooring, bracing, webbed beams or non trafficable roofing should comply with Australian Standard AS/NZS 2269 Plywood - Structural and be branded with the PAA Product Certification stamp for structural plywood.

Non-structural cladding or linings should at least be branded with the PAA Exterior or Interior Product Certification marks.

The use of structural plywood as residential flooring, bracing and non-trafficable roofing is covered in AS 1684 Residential timber-framed construction which is "deemed to comply" under the Building Code of Australia and state building ordinances.
