1. What action is EPA taking today?

EPA如今采取了什么行动？

EPA is finalizing a rule to help reduce harmful exposures toformaldehyde emitted into the air from certain composite wood products. Thisnew rule will implement the formaldehyde emission standards and otherprovisions required under the Formaldehyde Standards for Composite Wood Products Act, which added Title VI to the Toxic Substances ControlAct (TSCA). The final rule also establishes a third-party certification programfor laboratory testing and oversight of formaldehyde emissions frommanufactured and/or imported composite wood products.

美国环保局正在最终确定一项规则，以帮助减少某些复合木制品对空气中甲醛的有害暴露。项新规定将实施“甲醛复合木制品甲醛标准法”所要求的甲醛释放标准和其他条款，其中增加了有毒物质控制法案（TSCA）的VI。最终法规还建立了第三方认证项目，用于实验室测试和监督制造和/或进口复合木制品的甲醛排放。

2. Whatare composite wood products and what types are covered by the final rule?

什么是复合木制品，最终法则涵盖哪些类型？

Composite wood products are wood products created by bindingstrands, particles, fibers, veneers, or boards of wood together with adhesives(i.e., glues). There are three composite wood products that are regulated underTSCA Title VI: hardwood plywood, medium-density fiberboard (includes thin-MDF),and particleboard. These composite wood products are commonly used in themanufacture of furniture, kitchen cabinets, flooring, picture frames and woodenchildren’s toys, among other products.

复合木制品是通过将木条，颗粒，纤维，单板或木板与粘合剂（即胶水）粘合在一起而形成的木制品。TSCA标题VI规定了三种复合木制品：硬木胶合板，中密度纤维板（包括薄MDF）和刨花板。这些复合木制品通常用于制造家具，橱柜，地板，相框和木制儿童玩具等产品。

3. Whatis formaldehyde and how is it used in composite wood products?

什么是甲醛？它是如何用于复合木制品的？

Formaldehyde is a colorless, flammable, strong-smellingchemical that is used in resins (i.e., glues) used in the manufacture ofcomposite wood products (i.e., hardwood plywood, particleboard andmedium-density fiberboard).

甲醛是用于制造复合木制品（即硬木胶合板，刨花板和中密度纤维板）的树脂（即胶水）中使用的无色，易燃，强烈气味的化学品。

4. Whatare the health effects of formaldehyde exposure?

甲醛暴露对健康的影响是什么？

Formaldehyde exposure can have a negative effect on health,both in the short and long term. Formaldehyde can cause irritation of the skin,eyes, nose, and throat. High levels of exposure may cause some types ofcancers.

甲醛暴露对短期和长期健康都有负面影响。甲醛会刺激皮肤，眼睛，鼻子和喉咙。高水平的接触可能导致某些类型的癌症。

5. Whendo the rule requirements go into effect?

规则要求何时生效？

The formaldehyde emission standards go into effect beginningDecember 12, 2018. This date then triggers additional requirements formanufacturers, importers, fabricators (e.g., furniture makers), distributors,retailers, third party certifiers (TPCs) and accreditation bodies (ABs). TheABs oversee and accredit TPCs and may apply to EPA to become recognized underthe EPA TSCA Title VI program as of May 22, 2017. TPCs were able to beginapplying to become recognized under the EPA TSCA Title VI program to certifycomposite wood products beginning May 22, 2017. Beginning December 12, 2018,all regulated composite wood products must be certified as compliant with TSCATitle VI by an EPA- recognized TPC.

甲醛释放标准自2018年12月12日起生效。这个日期触发了对制造商，进口商，制造商（例如家具制造商），分销商，零售商，第三方认证机构（TPC）和认可机构（AB）的额外要求。AB将监督和认证TPC，并可能于2017年5月22日向EPA申请获得EPA TSCA Title VI计划的认可。TPC自2017年5月22日起开始申请成为EPA TSCA标题VI计划的认可机构，用于对复合木制品进行认证。

自2018年12月12日起，所有受管制的复合木制品必须经过EPA认可的TPC认证，符合TSCAVI。

6. Whois subject to the final rule requirements?

谁受制于最终规则要求？

Those who sell, supply, offer for sale, manufacture or importcomposite wood products are subject to the final rule requirements. Thisincludes manufacturers, importers, fabricators (e.g., furniture makers)distributors and retailers. Third party certifiers (TPCs) who certify thatcomposite wood products are compliant with the EPA rule and accreditationbodies who accredit and oversee the TPCs are also affected by the rule.

那些销售，供应销售，制造或进口复合木制品的人应遵守最终规则要求。这包括制造商，进口商，制造商（例如家具制造商）分销商和零售商。该规则也影响证明复合木制品符合EPA规则的第三方认证机构（TPC）和认可和监督TPC的认证机构。

7. Whatare the formaldehyde emissions standards for covered composite wood products?

覆盖复合木制品的甲醛释放量标准是什么？

The formaldehyde emissions standards vary by type ofregulated product. In the table below, the product is aligned with itsemissions standard in parts per million (ppm).

甲醛排放标准因受管制产品的类型而异。在下表中，产品符合其百万分率（ppm）的排放标准。
