CARB issued Executive Order W-26-047 re-approving SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services Company, Limited (SGS-China) as a CARB-approved Third-Party Certifier (TPC-47) under 17 CCR §93120.4 for certification supporting compliance with the Composite Wood Products Formaldehyde ATCM (17 CCR §§93120–93120.12), covering hardwood plywood, particleboard, and medium density fiberboard. The EO supersedes EO W-24-047 and sets administrative/operational conditions (including subcontractor controls, inter-laboratory study participation requirements for subcontract labs, notification duties regarding accreditation/certification status changes, recordkeeping, and annual reporting due on/before March 1). This affects which certifiers manufacturers may use to satisfy ATCM certification obligations.
