CARB Executive Order W-25-023 re-approves VVUD as a Third-Party Certifier (TPC-23) under 17 CCR §93120.4 (supersedes W-23-023)

CARB Executive Order W-25-023 re-approves Výzkumný a vývojový ústav dřevařský (VVUD) as a CARB-approved Third-Party Certifier (TPC-23) under 17 CCR §93120.4 for the Composite Wood Products Formaldehyde ATCM (17 CCR §§93120–93120.12). The EO supersedes W-23-023 and continues VVUD’s authority to certify and conduct oversight for manufacturers of hardwood plywood, particleboard, and medium density fiberboard. This is compliance-relevant because manufacturers must use CARB-approved TPCs for certification/verification; the EO also reiterates operational conditions (e.g., subcontractor controls, inter-laboratory study participation, recordkeeping/annual reporting, and notification obligations).
