This Standard specifies an in-plant production and quality control system that includes auditing by a recognized certification body if applicable. It also provides a mechanism for the specification, quality control, and certification of custom grades and allows the use of alternative overlay systems.

Changes to this edition include the following:

a) updated some publication references; and

b) clarified the basis for ply thicknesses specified in Table 2.
