The United States introduced the strictest formaldehyde standard for wood products in history. Shenzhen Inspection and Quarantine Bureau recently reminded that the United States "Composite Wood Products Formaldehyde Standard Act" has been signed by President Obama and will be implemented on July 1, 2011. This item is known as the harshest in history. The formaldehyde standard is expected to have a huge impact on Shenzhen furniture export companies. If the response is not timely, a large number of companies will be forced to withdraw from the US market. The bill significantly raises the formaldehyde emission limit standards for wood furniture sold and wholesale in the United States, such as particleboard, MDF, hardwood plywood and other wooden furniture, such as hardwood plywood (plywood) formaldehyde emission limits from July 1, 2011 from the original 0.2 The ppm has been reduced to 0.08ppm, an increase of 2.5 times. From July 1, 2012, it will be further tightened to not exceed 0.05ppm. Some experts call this the most stringent formaldehyde emission standard in history. Hardwood, structural plywood, wood packaging, and composite wood products used in new vehicles, motor rail cars, ships, spacecraft, or aircraft are not covered by this Act. According to the Shenzhen Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, the United States is the largest export market for wooden furniture in Shenzhen. According to statistics, the value of Shenzhen ’s bamboo and grass products exported to the United States in the first three quarters of this year was about US $ 500 million, accounting for about 20% of the value of similar goods exported. Because the bill basically covers all types of bamboo, wood and grass products, except for a few bamboo and rattan products, most of the wooden furniture exported to the United States will be affected. Due to the significant increase in the US formaldehyde emission limit standards, domestic sheet metal cannot meet the demand. At present, there are only five domestic companies that can produce sheet materials that meet this standard.
