TS 2128 EN 313-2

TS 2128 EN 313-2 is a terminology standard for plywood classification and terms, intended to support consistent use of the technical language surrounding plywood products. It organizes the concepts used to describe plywood, helping readers and industry users understand the core distinctions behind product naming, classification, and documentation.

Why plywood terminology matters

Plywood is typically a sheet material made from cross-oriented veneer layers, and that layered construction strongly influences how the product behaves and is described. Terminology standards like this one do not define how plywood is manufactured in detail; rather, they provide a shared vocabulary so that classification and naming can be used consistently. In wood technology, that common language reduces ambiguity in production, trade, technical literature, and education.

What this document covers

• Plywood classification and terminology.
• Focused on naming and conceptual distinctions rather than test methods.
• Based on EN 313-2:1995.
• This record represents a withdrawn Turkish edition.

In general technical context, plywood terminology helps distinguish features such as face veneers, core structure, number of plies, grain direction, and intended use. Standards of this kind improve the precision of product descriptions, but the supplied scope does not justify attributing specific test procedures, performance thresholds, or conformity rules to this document. Its primary role is to standardize the technical language used for plywood.
