EPA proposed amendments to TSCA Title VI formaldehyde emission standards (add ISO 12460-2:2024 QC option; update incorporated standards)

EPA proposed amendments to the TSCA Title VI Formaldehyde Emission Standards for Composite Wood Products. The proposal would add ISO 12460-2:2024(en) (small-scale chamber method) as an additional quality control test method for measuring formaldehyde emissions and update incorporation-by-reference to current versions of voluntary consensus standards. Compliance teams for composite wood product manufacturers, importers, fabricators, certifiers, and third-party labs should review the proposed test-method/standard updates and submit comments by the stated deadline, as adoption would affect testing, certification, and documentation practices under TSCA Title VI.
