EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM D5582 standard. This test method covers a small-scale procedure to measure the formaldehyde emission potential from wood products under defined test conditions.
The formaldehyde level is determined by collecting the formaldehyde in the air in a small distilled water tank in a closed desiccator. The amount of formaldehyde is determined by a modification of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) 3500 chromotropic acid test procedure.
Other analytical procedures may be used to determine the formaldehyde emission potential, provided such methods yield results similar to the chromotropic acid procedure. However, the test results and test report should be properly qualified and the analytical procedure used should be noted.
Wood products typically evaluated with this test method are made with urea-formaldehyde adhesives and include particle board, hardwood, plywood and medium density fiberboard.
This test method is used for product quality control and is a minor bench test method associated with test method E1333, which is a large-scale acceptance test for determining formaldehyde levels in wood products. The general desiccant test procedure can be modified for different conditioning times to adapt to its use in production quality control. However, test results should be properly characterized and the conditioning time used should be noted.
