Scope

This document specifies the terms and definitions, technical requirements, test methods and requirements for the handling, storage, packaging and marking of bamboo veneer. This standard is applicable for bamboo veneer made by rotary cutting, slicing and sawing.

Purpose

Bamboo veneer is extensively utilized in the processing of bamboo products and the interior decoration industry. It can be crafted into various forms, such as bamboo plywood templates, bamboo plywood, flooring for automobile compartments, and other bamboo-based panels, and also serves as an excellent surface finish for flooring, furniture, and decorative materials. This material enjoys widespread popularity among consumers globally and has substantial trade in China, North America, Europe, the Middle East, Japan, South Korea, and Australia, with an annual trading volume of approximately 100 million square meters and a total output value exceeding 3 billion U.S. dollars. Nowadays, the bamboo veneer industry is experiencing robust growth. However, due to the absence of uniform international standards, discrepancies exist among countries in their criteria and requirements for bamboo veneer products, resulting in identical products receiving different judgments in different countries, leading to numerous manufacturers facing product returns and sparking trade disputes in international commerce. Moreover, there is an escalating demand for higher standards in bamboo veneer design, manufacturing, quality, and testing methods, driven by the increasing expectations of consumers. Therefore, establishing consistent global standards for bamboo veneer is crucial, which would ensure that countries evaluate the performance of bamboo veneer using standardized methods and indicators. The development of international standards for bamboo veneer holds significant importance in guaranteeing product quality, facilitating international trade, protecting consumer rights, standardizing the market, and fostering the healthy growth of the global bamboo veneer industry. By the way, the increase of international trade on bamboo veneer can promote more and more countries to reduce plastic pollution and combate climate change, which can accelerate the implementation of the active active act of the United Nations in 2030 Sustainable Development Aired agenda.
