The boards are tested to the highest standards in terms of formaldehyde content according to EPA (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/formaldehyde\">US Environmental Protection Agency<\/a>) and CARB (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.arb.ca.gov\/\">California Air Resources Board<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><strong>VOC testing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have the latest technologies for Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) testing and we will assist producers monthly to insure the quality of production continuously. Timber Institute is CARB approved TPC since 2009 and EPA approved TPC since 2017. And as a one of shortlisted TPCs, continues fluently with worldwide EPA certification.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Formaldehyde emission in wood based-panels:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Production of plywood, Medium-Density Fiberboard (MDF) and particle board, uses glue containing formaldehyde, a substance which is volatile and carcinogenic.\u00a0 To protect users, wood-based panels are controlled by standards limiting formaldehyde emission. Two standards from United States give the highest level of quality and security:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations part 770 (40 CFR part 700), enacted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Title 17 of the California Code of Regulation, section 93120-93120.12 (17 CCR 93120-93120.12) enacted by the California Air Resources Board (CARB)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Because these standards outweigh the others, IKEA has chosen to apply both of them for their products. So, producers of plywood, MDF and particle board who respect the EPA and CARB standards have the opportunity to sell their panels to IKEA\u2019s manufacturers and also on the American market.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about CARB: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arb.ca.gov\/toxics\/compwood\/certifiers.htm\">https:\/\/www.arb.ca.gov\/toxics\/compwood\/certifiers.htm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more information about EPA: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/formaldehyde\">https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/formaldehyde<\/a><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Contacts<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Contact person Ludmila Kotenov\u00e1, <a href=\"mailto:kotenova@vvud.cz\">kotenova(@)vvud.cz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>More contacts: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vvud.cz\/en\/contacts\/\">https:\/\/www.vvud.cz\/en\/contacts\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5370","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
