A method for manufacturing a fire resistant plywood panel, the method comprising - arranging available • a plywood panel comprising at least three veneer layers, each veneer layer comprising at least one wooden veneer and adhesive in between the veneer layers, wherein the veneer layers are arranged with respect to each other in the direction of a thickness of the plywood panel or • a preform for a plywood panel comprising at least three veneer layers by stacking the veneers or veneer layers onto each other in the direction of a thickness of the preform for the plywood panel, - arranging on a first side of the plywood panel or the preform for a plywood panel • a second phenol film comprising paper and phenol formaldehyde resin, • a first glass fibre layer, and • a first phenol film comprising paper and phenol formaldehyde resin, whereby • the second phenol film is arranged closer to the plywood panel or the preform for the plywood panel than the first phenol film and • the first glass fibre layer is left in between the first phenol film and the second phenol film, thereby forming a coating for the plywood panel or the preform for the plywood panel such that • a direction of the thickness of the coating is parallel to the direction of the thickness of the plywood panel or the direction of the thickness of the preform for the plywood panel; thereby - forming a preform for the fire resistant plywood panel, and - pressing, at a first temperature, using a first pressure, for a first period of time, the preform for the fire resistant plywood panel to form the fire resistant plywood panel, in such a way that • the first phenol film is pressed with a pressing part of a first effective pressing surface and • (i) a constituent of the first phenol film or the second phenol film or (ii) a reaction product of the first phenol film or the second phenol film does not boil. - arranging available • a plywood panel comprising at least three veneer layers, each veneer layer comprising at least one wooden veneer and adhesive in between the veneer layers, wherein the veneer layers are arranged with respect to each other in the direction of a thickness of the plywood panel or • a preform for a plywood panel comprising at least three veneer layers by stacking the veneers or veneer layers onto each other in the direction of a thickness of the preform for the plywood panel, • a plywood panel comprising at least three veneer layers, each veneer layer comprising at least one wooden veneer and adhesive in between the veneer layers, wherein the veneer layers are arranged with respect to each other in the direction of a thickness of the plywood panel or • a preform for a plywood panel comprising at least three veneer layers by stacking the veneers or veneer layers onto each other in the direction of a thickness of the preform for the plywood panel, - arranging on a first side of the plywood panel or the preform for a plywood panel • a second phenol film comprising paper and phenol formaldehyde resin, • a first glass fibre layer, and • a first phenol film comprising paper and phenol formaldehyde resin, whereby • the second phenol film is arranged closer to the plywood panel or the preform for the plywood panel than the first phenol film and • the first glass fibre layer is left in between the first phenol film and the second phenol film, thereby forming a coating for the plywood panel or the preform for the plywood panel such that • a direction of the thickness of the coating is parallel to the direction of the thickness of the plywood panel or the direction of the thickness of the preform for the plywood panel; thereby • a second phenol film comprising paper and phenol formaldehyde resin, • a first glass fibre layer, and • a first phenol film comprising paper and phenol formaldehyde resin, whereby • the second phenol film is arranged closer to the plywood panel or the preform for the plywood panel than the first phenol film and • the first glass fibre layer is left in between the first phenol film and the second phenol film, thereby forming a coating for the plywood panel or the preform for the plywood panel such that • a direction of the thickness of the coating is parallel to the direction of the thickness of the plywood panel or the direction of the thickness of the preform for the plywood panel; thereby - forming a preform for the fire resistant plywood panel, and - pressing, at a first temperature, using a first pressure, for a first period of time, the preform for the fire resistant plywood panel to form the fire resistant plywood panel, in such a way that • the first phenol film is pressed with a pressing part of a first effective pressing surface and • (i) a constituent of the first phenol film or the second phenol film or (ii) a reaction product of the first phenol film or the second phenol film does not boil. • the first phenol film is pressed with a pressing part of a first effective pressing surface and • (i) a constituent of the first phenol film or the second phenol film or (ii) a reaction product of the first phenol film or the second phenol film does not boil.
