EPA is finalizing a rule to help reduce harmful exposures to formaldehyde emitted into the air from certain composite wood products. This new rule will implement the formaldehyde emission standards and other provisions required under the Formaldehyde Standards for Composite Wood Products Act, which added Title VI to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The final rule also establishes a third-party certification program for laboratory testing and oversight of formaldehyde emissions from manufactured and/or imported composite wood products.

EPA正在最終確定一項(xiàng)規(guī)則，以幫助減少某些復(fù)合木制品對(duì)空氣中甲醛的有害暴露。這項(xiàng)新規(guī)定將實(shí)施“甲醛復(fù)合木制品甲醛標(biāo)準(zhǔn)法”所要求的甲醛釋放標(biāo)準(zhǔn)和其他條款，其中增加了有毒物質(zhì)控制法案（TSCA）的VI。最終法規(guī)還建立了第三方認(rèn)證項(xiàng)目，用于實(shí)驗(yàn)室測(cè)試和監(jiān)督制造和/或進(jìn)口復(fù)合木制品的甲醛排放。

Q：什么是豁免計(jì)劃？

What is the exemption plan？

A：There are two kinds of exemption programs.

有兩種豁免計(jì)劃

ULEF: ultra-low emitting formaldehyde resins

ULEF:?超低甲醛樹(shù)脂

NAF: no-added formaldehyde based resins

NAF:?未添加甲醛基的樹(shù)脂

The first step is a regular product certification. If your products are made with ULEF or NAF resins, then you can apply for an exemption. The exemption has an duration of 2 years and it can be renewed.

第一步是定期產(chǎn)品認(rèn)證。如果您的產(chǎn)品是用ULEF或NAF樹(shù)脂制成的，那么您可以申請(qǐng)豁免?；砻馄谙逓?年，可以續(xù)簽。

做美國(guó)TSCA認(rèn)證TSCA certification義務(wù)：
1） 美國(guó)進(jìn)口商須了解法規(guī)動(dòng)向，做好和下游的溝通工作，獲取物質(zhì)用途等信息，及時(shí)進(jìn)行相應(yīng)申報(bào)或申請(qǐng)豁免，同時(shí)積極配合美國(guó)環(huán)保局的審查。
2） 中國(guó)制造商應(yīng)主動(dòng)積極地配合進(jìn)口商的要求，提供化學(xué)品成分、噸位、測(cè)試報(bào)告等信息。如果制造商認(rèn)為公開(kāi)以上信息涉及到商業(yè)機(jī)密，可自行向EPA提交信息，并鏈接到進(jìn)口商提交的通報(bào)卷宗。
3） 中國(guó)制造商應(yīng)了解輸美化學(xué)品中是否含有限制使用的高關(guān)注物質(zhì)及其含量，是否符合美國(guó)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。
