used to fabricate on-site and shop-applied composite wood and agrifibre
assemblies shall contain no added urea-formaldehyde resins. Composite
wood and agrifibre products are defined as: particleboard, medium-density
fibreboard, wheat board, strawboard, panel substrates and door cores.
Materials considered as FF&E are not considered base building elements
and are not included in this requirement. Emissions for products covered
by this section shall be determined according to and shall comply with one
of the following:
1. Third-party certification shall be submitted indicating compliance
with the California Air Resource Board's (CARB) regulation entitled:
Airborne Toxic Control Measure to Reduce Formaldehyde Emissions from
Composite Wood Products ; third-party certifiers shall be approved by
CARB.
2. CA/DHS/EHLB/R-174 (commonly referred to as California Section
01350) and shall comply with the limit requirements for either office
or classroom spaces regardless of the space type.
Exceptions are for structural panel components such as plywood, particle
board, wafer board and oriented strand board identified as 'EXPOSURE  1',
'EXTERIOR' or 'HUD-APPROVED' are considered acceptable for interior use.
