This part of ISO 12460 specifies a method for determining the accelerated release of formaldehyde from coated and uncoated wood-based materials. The method is also suitable for testing other materials (e.g. edge strips, floor coverings, foams, foils, laminated wood products, veneered wood products, coated wood products).
