The CPA Formaldehyde Grademark Program has been developed to provide independent certification of formaldehyde emission levels from wood panel products. The Program includes requirements for initial qualification for product certification, plant quality control procedures and periodic inspections by CPA--all designed to reasonably assure that certified unfinished (including sanded) composite panel products meet the emission limits specified in applicable standards.
Although the Program was originally developed in response to, and designed to meet, the certification requirements of the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, 24 C.F.R. Part 3280, it can be used to certify conformance of different types of panel products to different governmental or voluntary industry standards which CPA decides to include in such Program.
