Güteschutzgemeinschaft Sperrholz (Plywood Quality Association)
Quality monitoring for plywood has a long tradition. As early as the late 50s, producers combined under the umbrella of RAL to form the Güteschutzgemeinschaft Sperrholz e.V. which was renamed Qualitätsgemeinschaft Sperrholz e.V. in late 2004. There is a differentiation in quality monitoring between “Plywood for general purposes (DIN 68705, Part 2)” and “Safety-relevant veneered plywood for building purposes (DIN 68705, Part 3 and 5)”.
