1.?What action is EPA taking today?

EPA如今采取了什么行動？

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.

美國環(huán)保局正在最終確定一項規(guī)則，以幫助減少某些復合木制品對空氣中甲醛的有害暴露。項新規(guī)定將實施“甲醛復合木制品甲醛標準法”所要求的甲醛釋放標準和其他條款，其中增加了有毒物質控制法案（TSCA）的VI。最終法規(guī)還建立了第三方認證項目，用于實驗室測試和監(jiān)督制造和/或進口復合木制品的甲醛排放。

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

什么是復合木制品，最終法則涵蓋哪些類型？

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.

復合木制品是通過將木條，顆粒，纖維，單板或木板與粘合劑（即膠水）粘合在一起而形成的木制品。TSCA標題VI規(guī)定了三種復合木制品：硬木膠合板，中密度纖維板（包括薄MDF）和刨花板。這些復合木制品通常用于制造家具，櫥柜，地板，相框和木制兒童玩具等產品。

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

什么是甲醛？它是如何用于復合木制品的？

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).

甲醛是用于制造復合木制品（即硬木膠合板，刨花板和中密度纖維板）的樹脂（即膠水）中使用的無色，易燃，強烈氣味的化學品。

4.?Whatare the health effects of formaldehyde exposure?

甲醛暴露對健康的影響是什么？

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.

甲醛暴露對短期和長期健康都有負面影響。甲醛會刺激皮膚，眼睛，鼻子和喉嚨。高水平的接觸可能導致某些類型的癌癥。

5.?Whendo the rule requirements go into effect?

規(guī)則要求何時生效？

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.

甲醛釋放標準自2018年12月12日起生效。這個日期觸發(fā)了對制造商，進口商，制造商（例如家具制造商），分銷商，零售商，第三方認證機構（TPC）和認可機構（AB）的額外要求。AB將監(jiān)督和認證TPC，并可能于2017年5月22日向EPA申請獲得EPA TSCA Title VI計劃的認可。TPC自2017年5月22日起開始申請成為EPA?TSCA標題VI計劃的認可機構，用于對復合木制品進行認證。

自2018年12月12日起，所有受管制的復合木制品必須經過EPA認可的TPC認證，符合TSCAVI。

6.?Whois subject to the final rule requirements?

誰受制于最終規(guī)則要求？

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.

那些銷售，供應銷售，制造或進口復合木制品的人應遵守最終規(guī)則要求。這包括制造商，進口商，制造商（例如家具制造商）分銷商和零售商。該規(guī)則也影響證明復合木制品符合EPA規(guī)則的第三方認證機構（TPC）和認可和監(jiān)督TPC的認證機構。

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

覆蓋復合木制品的甲醛釋放量標準是什么？

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).

甲醛排放標準因受管制產品的類型而異。在下表中，產品符合其百萬分率（ppm）的排放標準。
