Result: VOC emissions tests were performed for
particleboards (CARB 2 class, including P2 and fire
retardant) according to /ISO1600011/, with the wall
panel loading scenario.
The VOC measurements allowed for a classification
A+, when excluding formaldehyde (class B, when
taking formaldehyde emissions into consideration).

Test reports, date:
Standard product Supervision Report 022015, Order
2515024/32, dated 18 December 2015
P3 product Supervision Report 022015, Order
2515024/31, dated 18 December 2015
Result: The wood preservative agents
pentachlorophenol (PCP) and lindane could not be
determined in the sample of boards examined, or
fulfilled the limit value of 5 mg/kg.
Limit of determination: 0.05 mg/kg.
