In 2009, California Air Resources Board, or CARB, began phasing in stricter air quality rules for particleboard, MDF, and hardwood plywood. In fact, CARB has some of the strictest regulations in the nation and is a globally accepted standard. All products containing composite wood products must comply with the regulation. Let’s not sound confusing with the jargons and get to the matter very simplified and straight. The California Air Resources Board. CARB is charged with protecting the public from the harmful effects of air pollution and developing programs and actions to fight climate change. From requirements for clean cars and fuels to adopting innovative solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, California has pioneered a range of effective approaches that have set the standard for effective air and climate programs for the nation, and the world. CARB's mission is to promote and protect public health, welfare, and ecological resources through effective reduction of air pollutants while recognizing and considering effects on the economy. CARB is the lead agency for climate change programs and oversees all air pollution control efforts in California to attain and maintain health-based air quality standards. CARB CERTIFIED PLYWOOD AND ITS UNIQUENESS. The regulation sets formaldehyde emissions limits for hardwood plywood (HWPW), particle board (PB) and medium density fiberboard (MDF). To receive these certifications, manufacturers undergo quarterly inspections and testing by the TPC, and routine quality control testing at manufacturing locations. Manufacturers that earn certification demonstrate that their panels comply with the emission standards by labeling their panels as CARB Phase 2 compliant. Plywood producers with CARB certification surely offer products that fulfill the stringest regulations to ensure negligible Formaldehyde emissions making them the safest option for kitchens, boards and other furniture items like wardrobes. These boards will have world-class quality along being environment-friendly ( produced with low Formaldehyde substrate), using enhanced eco-friendly resins and technology. It has excellent strength, quality, surface smoothness, stability and superior edge profile with reduced Formaldehyde emissions which ensures toxic air free environment and protects from health hazards arising from it.
