This regulation introduces a change in the test method to be used for formaldehyde measurement, as the EN16516 emission chamber method will become the new test form for formaldehyde measurement in wood based products. Sonae Arauco products are complying with this change in German legislation, which is coming in 2020 |

Applicable to all wood based products produced or sold in Germany, the new European regulation introduces a change in the test method for formaldehyde measurement. Although the limit remains at the current value of 0.1 ppm due to established test conditions, with a higher chamber load factor and lower air renewal rate, this new regulation is stricter. |
