Editorial summary

Formaldehyde emissions or content from wood-based panels and flooring products were compared using four standard procedures: EN 717-1, EN 717-2, ASTM D 6007-02 and EN 120. The study examines effects of product type, thickness, moisture and finishing, and reports strong agreement among several methods; FLEC is only part of the broader methodological context.
