CARB Certification Programs

* CARB Compliant Panel Producers - updated 7/22/10
 
CPA was the first Third Party Certifier (TPC) in the world to be approved by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).  Since that date of May 14, 2008, CPA has been certifying manufacturers to the CARB rule.  For those unfamiliar with the California regulation on formaldehyde emissions from composite wood panels ("the CARB rule"), CPA has created a website at www.CARBrule.org that offers information on the regulation and fact sheets to help customers and manufacturers understand the regulation.
 
CPA is now certifying North American manufacturers of particleboard, MDF, and hardwood plywood for CARB.  CPA is also operating an Ultra-Low Emitting (ULEF) and No Added Formaldehyde (NAF) Audit Program for those panel manufacturers seeking a CARB exemption for their ULEF or NAF products.  Any North American panel manufacturer wishing to become certified to the CARB rule should contact Chris Surak, CPA's Director of Certification Programs.
