Grade E2: perforation method ≤ 3mg/100g, dryer method 5mg/L
E1 and E0
This is the environmental standard for two panels for decoration. Even if E1 is up to standard, E0 is even higher than E1 environmental standards.
The E1 level is a mandatory test standard issued by the state, that is, the environmental protection index that must be achieved. It is suitable for indoor decoration when it reaches the E1 level. Specific regulations can be found in the national quality testing standards.
The E0 level is a standard set by some companies in recent years, and there is no such standard in the national standard. According to these companies, this is their efforts to develop and reduce pollutants such as formaldehyde in the board, which is higher than the E1 level set by the state, so it is called E0 level. However, there are some joint ventures in our country that can reach the E0 level, but its test reports are made abroad.
Attachment: E0 level: that is, the average amount of formaldehyde emission is less than 0.5mg/L, which is also the environmental protection standard of European countries. Grade E1: The average amount of formaldehyde released is less than 1.5mg/L, which is the national mandatory environmental protection standard.
