This is a plywood grading rule governed by "Japan Plywood Inspection Corp (JPIC)". Fancy D Passed is a face grading under JPIC which is equivalent to HPVA A grade. D stands for Type II glue and is used mostly for fancy plywood from Vietnam, Taiwan and Indonesia. Fancy D Passed BB is a downgrade from Fancy D Passed which permits more natural defects such as mineral streaks, pin knots and discoloration. This grade is similar to HPVA B and sometimes C grade face. They are lower priced than Fancy D Passed grade.
