Sveza Group received a certificate of conformity of products to the new regulations on ultra-low level of formaldehyde emissions - Statement of ULEF Exemption, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
Aqueous solution of formaldehyde is used worldwide for the production of materials from compressed wood, for example, plywood, chipboard and fibreboard. With high quality products, as well as subject to compliance with all process requirements, the level of formaldehyde remains low and, therefore, does not cause harm.
The aim of EPA TSCA Title VI is to reduce emissions of this substance from wood products. Particularly, this rule applies to products that are sold, supplied, or manufactured in the United States. The Regulations will officially come into force on 22 March 2019.
The Sveza Group received the EPA TSCA Title VI certificate of conformity ahead of schedule. The presence of this document allows the company to export its products to the United States. Moreover, EPA TSCA Title VI recognizes the exemption from mandatory certification of manufacturers of slabs with ultra-low formaldehyde emissions.
Certificates were issued by the California Air Resource Board (CARB) to Sveza’s plants even before the receipt of the certificate of conformity to the new regulations.
Sveza is a worldwide known plywood producer. Currently the company produces high-quality plywood of natural Russian birch.
