What is ENF grade sheet? Are ENF grade sheets credible?

With the successive implementation of national environmental protection policies, people pay more and more attention to ecological quality. In order to rectify the market order, strengthen the standard construction, and enhance the competitiveness of my country's wood-based panel in the international market. GB/T 39600-2021 "Classification of Formaldehyde Emissions from Wood-based Panels and Their Products", which is under the centralized management of the National Wood-based Panel Standardization Technical Committee, will be officially implemented on October 1, 2021. The new national standard clearly stipulates that the formaldehyde emission of indoor wood-based panels and their products is divided into three levels, namely E1 level (≤0.124mg/m³), E0 level (≤0.050mg/m³) and ENF level (≤0.025mg) /m³).

Among them, the E-level standard originated in Germany, which has been widely used in the world to define the formaldehyde content of boards. NF grade Abbreviation for No Formaldehyde, which means no formaldehyde (added).

In short, the ENF grade board is the board with the formaldehyde emission ≤0.025mg/m³ tested by the national authoritative organization.

According to the analysis of "Indoor Air Quality Classification Standard for Infants and Young Children", the average value of 0.03mg/m³ in 1 hour can reach the first-level air quality standard. The ENF grade (≤0.025mg/m) in the new national standard of wood-based panels just meets this requirement. Therefore, parents can look for the ENF level when purchasing furniture and home improvement products, and ask the merchant to present the test report issued by the nationally recognized testing agency of CNAS; and according to the national standard load limit of wood-based panels, choose the number of wood-based panels within the limit value. So as to effectively control the indoor formaldehyde pollution after decoration.

Are ENF grade sheets credible?
Before my country's new national standard was launched, there were three series of global environmental protection standards for sheet metal: NAF and P series are the certification systems of CARB in California, F series are Japanese standards, and E series are European standards (the current national standard for formaldehyde limit for wood-based panels in my country). It is formulated and divided with reference to the EU's formaldehyde limit standard, and follows the European standard E series). Since we officially implemented the new national standard on October 1, 2021, ENF grade has become the most stringent environmental protection standard for sheet metal in the world!

According to the level of formaldehyde emission, before the implementation of the new national standard, the highest environmental protection standard recognized in the world is NAF-CARB (the limit value of formaldehyde emission is 0.04ppm, corresponding to 0.054mg/m³)

After the implementation of the new national standard, the standard of ENF level ≤0.025mg/m³ is far higher than the European standard and the Japanese F4 star standard, and has become the world's first environmental protection standard for wood-based panels. The ENF level is directly lower than the NAF level by half, and it can be said to be the most stringent formaldehyde standard at present. In the world, even some brand boards that are proud of European and American countries are difficult to achieve.

In terms of scope of application, the GB/T 39600-2021 standard is applicable to fiberboard, particleboard, plywood, blockboard, reconstituted decorative material, laminated veneer, glulam, veneer wood-based panels, wood floors, wood wall panels, wood Classification of formaldehyde emission of various wood-based panels and their products for indoor use such as doors. Covers almost all types of wood-based panels! Therefore, whether it is for furniture, floor covering, grass-roots construction, wall construction, or door construction, this standard must be followed.

Sanhao baby board reaches the new national standard ENF standard
As the leader of the board brand that created the "ideal board for children", Sanhao Baby Board has been committed to creating a healthy, green and environmentally friendly home space for residents. Persevere and lead the way!

As early as 2019, when Sanhao Baby Board was launched, it has passed the test of authoritative institutions. The report shows that the formaldehyde emission is ≤0.015mg/m³, which is higher than the highest ENF level of the latest national standard.

The release and implementation of the latest national standards for the classification of formaldehyde emissions have put forward higher requirements to meet consumers' needs for a more environmentally friendly and safer home environment. At the same time, it will also lead the progress of industrial technology and promote the green development and industrial transformation and upgrading of the home building materials industry. provides important direction.

The implementation of the new national standard will not only drive more sheet metal companies to further upgrade their environmental protection technologies, promote the green development of the industry, improve the environmental quality of home improvement products, and meet the needs of consumers. At the same time, it will also improve the situation of different product standards in the market, the different names of products with the same environmental protection level in the industry, and various market publicity chaos, which will help to speed up industrial transformation and upgrading, accelerate the "survival of the fittest" within the industry, and promote sheet metal Standardized development of the industry. As a consumer, buying home improvement products with a higher environmental protection level is ultimately for the "health" of yourself and your family. The release of the new national standard has spurred many building materials brands to work towards the ENF level, so that consumers no longer have to worry about the harm of formaldehyde, and truly realize "the world without formaldehyde".
