Roseburg meeting new TSCA federal labeling standards
New federal formaldehyde emissions standards require composite wood products to be labeled by June 1.
Roseburg Forest Products said it will begin labeling its composite wood products in compliance with new federal formaldehyde emissions standards no later than April 30, before the currently scheduled effective date of June 1.
Title VI of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) formaldehyde standards apply to all composite wood products manufactured in, imported into, or sold in the United States.
Roseburg manufactures medium density fiberboard (MDF), particleboard and hardwood plywood, all of which fall under TSCA Title VI, which is administered by the Environmental Protection Agency.
While TSCA Title VI may be new to the industry, Roseburg has a documented history of low formaldehyde emissions at or below federal requirements, the company said in a statement.
Based in Springfield, Ore., privately-held Roseburg Forest Products is one the nation’s largest producers of lumber and engineered wood products. The company also owns and manages more than 600,000 acres of timberland in Oregon, North Carolina and Virginia, as well as an export wood chip terminal facility in Coos Bay, Ore.
