compwood -- Compwood - Extension of Sell-through Dates

Posted: 02 Feb 2012 10:32:50
This note is to inform you that the California Air Resources
Board staff is extending the sell-through date that affects
retailers of finished goods made with pre-Phase 1 (noncompliant)
composite wood products.   The sell-through dates are also being
extended that affect distributors, fabricators, and retailers of
finished goods made with Phase 1 (compliant) composite wood
products.  Regulatory Advisory 12-01 describes these extensions
and is posted to our composite wood products website at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/toxics/compwood/outreach/12_01_advisory.pdf.

The Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM) to Reduce Formaldehyde
Emissions from Composite Wood Products establishes formaldehyde
emission standards for composite wood products, including
hardwood plywood, particleboard, medium density fiberboard (MDF),
and thin MDF.  The Phase 1 emission standards became effective in
January 2009, with the more stringent Phase 2 emission standards
going into effect between January 2010 and July 2012.  The ATCM
also applies to finished goods that are made with composite wood
products.  For more information regarding this ATCM, please see:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/toxics/compwood/compwood.htm.

If you have questions about this advisory, please contact:  Mr.
Lynn Baker at (916) 324-6997, email lbaker@arb.ca.gov, or Ms.
Angela Csondes at (916) 445-4448, email acsondes@arb.ca.gov.
