What are the European E1 grade environmental standards?
When we buy plates or furniture, we often hear such a term: E0, E1 and E2
So what is E0, E1 and E2?
Modern furniture and kitchen cabinets are widely used man-made sheet, in order to make the sheet more robust and durable, wood-based panels need to add moisture-proof agent and adhesive, which is the main source of free formaldehyde.
E0, E1, E2 are a formaldehyde emission limit level of environmental standards, the first E1, E2 these two standards produced in Germany, by the "EGGER" to develop, after the introduction of European standards, many domestic companies claim that the E0 standard In fact, Europe did not, the highest standards in Europe for the E (1/2).
Specific data are as follows: E2 ≤ 5.0mg / L, E1 ≤ 1.5mg / L, E0 ≤ 0.5mg / L. Meet the E0 standard household products, already belong to the international top environmental standards, formaldehyde emission is almost negligible.
E0 is produced in Japan, is the most stringent environmental standards, the equivalent of Europe's E (1/2), according to the plate of formaldehyde and other harmful substances to develop the content.
China's environmental standards for 10-30mg / 100mg, equivalent to E2 standards. E1 level is "can be untreated, completely harmless to humans and animals." E0 level is the spontaneous standard of some enterprises, rather than mandatory standards.
At present the world only Finland, Japan, the two countries to enforce the E0 standard. In China, to strengthen the implementation of the highest standards of the floor is E1, cabinet industry, the national standard only E2, only part of the high-end products are E1.
Therefore, if the purchase of Finland, Japan, the origin of the decoration products, that is, E0-class products, basically can be achieved directly to the standard.
