Formaldehyde emission from wood-based panels according to the requirements of the Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM) developed by the State of California's Air Resources Board

After qualification testing is completed at one of TECO's laboratories, inspections are conducted at the manufacturer's facilities and reexamination testing is conducted to verify that the products are continually manufactured in compliance with the applicable standards.

Our customer focused certification programs are among the most comprehensive of any offered in the industry. TECO's certification programs are designed to complement a mill's quality system capabilities and meet each manufacturer's unique needs. One of our unique certification programs even includes a full-time TECO technician in the mill to complement a manufacturer's in-house quality assurance team.
