Formaldehyde Emissions Standards for Composite Wood Products Act (Renewal)

The Formaldehyde Standards for Composite Wood Products Act, which established Title VI of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), set forth formaldehyde emission standards for hardwood plywood, particleboard and medium-density fiberboard. TSCA Title VI directs EPA to promulgate supplementary provisions to ensure compliance with the emissions standards, including testing requirements, laminated product provisions, provisions for products made with no-added formaldehyde (NAF-based) resins or ultra-low emitting formaldehyde (ULEF) resins, product labeling requirements, chain of custody provisions for product compliance documentation, recordkeeping, product inventory sell-through dates, a product stockpiling prohibition, and product certification by an EPA TSCA Title VI Third-Party Certifier (TPC) or EPA-recognized TPC. This ICR covers the recordkeeping and reporting requirements for all aspects of the TSCA Title VI implementing regulations and regulations relating to accreditation bodies (ABs) and TPCs that wish to participate in this third-party certification program.
