Laminated products must comply with the new requirements of EPA regulations
According to the requirements of the formaldehyde release standard for composite wood products in the United States (40 CFR part 770/EPA TSCA TITLE VI): Starting from March 22, 2024, laminated product manufacturers must comply with all regulatory requirements applicable to hardwood plywood manufacturers, including testing, certification, labeling, and recording. This regulation aims to strengthen the manufacturing standards and environmental requirements for laminated products to ensure product safety and environmental friendliness.
Key requirements that laminated product manufacturers must comply with:
01 Applicability and Definition: Laminated products are products made of wood or wood grass adhered to the core surface of particle board, medium density fiberboard core surface, or single board core surface, used for manufacturing or assembling finished products. Products regulated by EPA TSCA Title VI include hardwood plywood (single core and composite core), medium density fiberboard, thin medium density fiberboard, particleboard, and laminated products.
02Transition period requirement: Starting from June 1, 2018, laminated product manufacturers must comply with the requirements applicable to processors, including labeling and recording.
03 Comprehensive requirements take effect: Starting from March 22, 2024, laminated product manufacturers must fully comply with the requirements of hardwood plywood manufacturers, including testing, certification, labeling, and recording.
04 Labeling and Record Requirements: Manufacturers must ensure that their products are properly labeled and display proof of compliance with EPA TSCA Title VI. Manufacturers also need to maintain detailed records, including raw material procurement, product testing, and certification documents.
05 Testing and Certification: Laminated products need to pass designated tests to demonstrate compliance with specific environmental standards, such as formaldehyde emission levels. It is necessary to obtain certification from a third-party certification agency to confirm that the product meets regulatory requirements.
06 Supply Chain Management: Manufacturers need to ensure that their supply chain meets the requirements of EPA TSCA Title VI, including the procurement and processing of raw materials.
The importance of 07 compliance: Failure to comply with new requirements may result in manufacturers facing legal risks and fines. Adhering to these requirements not only helps to protect the environment, but also enhances the competitiveness of products in the market.
The mandatory implementation of this regulation is a major adjustment to the laminated product industry. Manufacturers should actively take measures to ensure that their products and production processes fully comply with the new requirements of EPA TSCA Title VI.
