Germany announced DIN EN-16516:2018-01 as the new reference method for formaldehyde emission from wood-based materials, effective January 1, 2020. According to German law, starting from 1 January 2020, wood-based panels and products exported to Germany must comply with the limit of 0.1 ppm obtained with the test method specified in the standard EN 16516. The changes in the new reference method EN-16516:2018-01 are related to air change (it is less in comparison with the current test method EN 717-1) and to the load test that requires an increased test load. However, the method described by the EN 717-1 standard can still be used provided that in this case the resulting emission value is multiplied by 2, halving the emission requirement necessary to comply with the German regulation. . That means limit value 0,05 ppm when using EN 717-1 method whereas United States CARB and EPA TSCA Title VI restricts formaldehyde emissions for MDF to 0.11 ppm (> 8 mm) or 0.13 ppm (≤ 8 mm) depending on the board thickness.

Wood Fibres is a living material and is subject to moisture movement according to surrounding conditions, which affects the flatness and thickness swell of panels. .It is important to condition the panels to reach moisture content near to the equilibrium of their permanent environment. The recommended stocking conditions are 20°C and a RH of air of about 60%.
