All of our standard products are available with Low Formaldehyde emissions, to meet the F ☆ ☆ ☆ (F-Three Star) and F ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ (F-Four Star) Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS). JIS applies stringent criteria to resin inputs and formaldehyde emissions resulting in a tangible standard for consumer security.

The F-Three Star standard is a maximum of 0.5 milligrams per litre (mg/l) of formaldehyde emission and the lower F-Four Star standard is maximum of 0.3 mg/l formaldehyde emission. We also meet other Emission standards, simply request your preference when you place your order.

This symbol appears on every JIS pack and illustrates our compliance with the JIS A 5905 standard. The RS designates the panel as "Base Board Polished", or sanded panel. The 30 relates to the minimum bending strength (Modulus of Rupture) of the panel, and is a conservative minimum for the full range of panels we make. The U is the classification according to the adhesive or resin used, and signifies that Urea based resin is the main component.

Every one of our USA products meets ULEF standard, with EPA TSCA Title VI, and CARB Phase 2 approved products for USA market emission requirements available on request. As with all our products, you can specify 100% FSC® (Forestry Standards Certification) wood resource for your panels.
