Finish TradesQuestion 485 of 700
Under CALGreen, composite wood products used indoors, such as particleboard and hardwood plywood in cabinets, must comply with formaldehyde emission limits mainly to protect what?
a.The structural rating of the cabinet
b.The gloss level of the finish
c.Indoor air quality and occupant health
d.The cabinet's resistance to earthquakes
Explanation
Composite wood can off-gas formaldehyde, so CALGreen caps emissions to protect indoor air quality and occupant health. The requirement is not about structural rating, finish gloss, or seismic resistance, which are addressed by other provisions.
