Plywood is graded by standards set by the American Plywood Association, (also known as APA) and is given a three-letter designation: a grade for the veneer on the face (referred to as the best side), a grade for the veneer on the back (referred to as the worst side) and an X or I designation to indicate use for outdoors (X) or indoors (I). In addition, plywood suitable for structural purpose is marked accordingly.
