This standard is intended to provide performance requirements for the emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including Formaldehyde and Aldehydes, from Office Furniture and Seating. This standard specifies acceptance levels that define low-emitting furniture independent of construction materials, manufacturing processes, mechanical designs, or aesthetic designs. This standard is intended to apply to a newly manufactured product and does not apply to products that have been in use.
