Certification of production process regarding formaldehyde and REACH

Why certify your processes?

The REACH regulation, Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 - Registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemicals (REACH), is a European Union regulation aimed at improving the protection of human health and the environment from the risks posed by chemicals. Regarding formaldehyde emissions is the requirement that this shall be under 0.05 ppm.

The certification rule "SPCR 020, Certification rule for certification of production process regarding formaldehyde emissions and "REACH" requirements" by RISE Certifications assists manufacturers in meeting the requirements of the REACH regulation. Additionally, it provides an independent third-party statement confirming that the production processes and the manufacturer have the capability to control formaldehyde emissions and produce products with emissions below the specified limits.

SPCR 020 applies to production processes where composite wood products such as plywood, oriented strand board, particle board, fiberboard laminated veneer lumber, glulam and other glued timber products are produced.

SPCR 020 not only helps manufacturers fulfill regulatory requirements but also enhances their credibility and commitment to environmental and human health protection.
