How will CARB test pre-assembled case goods made of composite wood products (e.g., a small table) that are painted, with no edges unsealed?
We would purchase the case goods, deconstruct it, remove the paint, and test the exposed composite wood product surface using our secondary test method. CARB staff is currently developing a sample preparation protocol to be followed to remove the layer of paint or laminate, and then will determine what emission levels distinguish compliant versus non-compliant composite wood products.

We make furniture using structural plywood, which is all internal and not visible in the finished furniture. What records do we need to keep to demonstrate that we are not using regulated composite wood products (PB, MDF, HWPW)? Structural plywood that meets the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) PS 1-07 or NIST PS 2-04 standard is excluded from the definition of composite wood products in the ATCM and is therefore exempt and no records are required to be kept by the ATCM. However, fabricators would be advised to keep invoices to show that the composite wood they use is in fact stru
