On December 18, 2024, Canada’s Ministry of the Environment and Ministry of Health issued regulations amending the Formaldehyde Emissions from Composite Wood Products Regulations (SOR/2024-256). The amendments become effective on March 18, 2025.

This amendment addresses industry comments on SOR/2021-148 and aims to:

  • Provide clarity for regulated parties and reduce the risk of misapplication of the regulations by removing the accreditation requirement for laboratories conducting routine quality control formaldehyde emissions testing.
  • Revise record-keeping requirements for all entities along the composite wood products supply chain to reduce unintended burden.
  • Maintain the regulations’ close alignment with TSCA Title VI in order to minimize international trade barriers.
  • Make minor amendments to provide clarification on issues brought forward by stakeholders.
