To protect consumers and meet global sustainability standards, plywood must comply with CARB-P2 regulations, which strictly limit formaldehyde emissions.
At FOMEX GREENWOOD, a leading Vietnam plywood supplier under FOMEX GLOBAL, we provide CARB-P2 certified plywood that ensures both performance and safety for eco-friendly interiors.
- CARB-P2 ≤ 0.05 ppm formaldehyde emission
- Ensures safe use for furniture, interiors, and schools
- Trusted by global importers seeking sustainable plywood
What is CARB-P2?
The California Air Resources Board Phase 2 (CARB-P2) is a U.S. regulation that limits formaldehyde emissions in composite wood products such as plywood, MDF, and particleboard.
The limit of ≤ 0.05 ppm ensures that plywood used indoors emits minimal volatile organic compounds (VOCs), reducing potential health risks for users.
All FOMEX GREENWOOD plywood products are CARB-P2 certified by international laboratories, making them suitable for export to countries and regions that value safe, eco-friendly building materials — including the U.S., Canada, Korea, and the EU.
Why Formaldehyde Emissions Matter
Formaldehyde is commonly used in wood adhesives. However, when released at high levels, it can cause irritation and long-term health concerns.
That’s why regions such as the U.S., Japan, and the EU have established strict limits — E0, E1, and CARB-P2 — to regulate emissions and protect indoor environments.
By meeting CARB-P2 standards, FOMEX GREENWOOD’s sustainable plywood supports green construction initiatives and guarantees safer air quality for homeowners, students, and workers alike.
Applications of CARB-P2 Plywood
CARB-P2 certified plywood is ideal for all indoor projects where people spend significant time inside enclosed spaces.
Here are the main sectors where FOMEX GREENWOOD plywood delivers consistent, high-quality performance:
- Furniture Manufacturing: Cabinets, wardrobes, and tables requiring low-emission plywood.
- Educational Facilities: Desks, libraries, and classrooms that ensure clean air for students.
- Healthcare Projects: Non-toxic plywood for patient rooms and clean areas.
- Commercial Interiors: Office partitions, acoustic panels, and hotel furniture.

FAQ
What is the difference between E0, E1, and CARB-P2 plywood?
E0 and E1 are European and Asian emission categories, while CARB-P2 is a U.S. regulation focusing on formaldehyde limits ≤ 0.05 ppm.
CARB-P2 plywood is therefore ideal for importers seeking safe and high-quality plywood for indoor use.
How to verify CARB-P2 plywood?
Ask your Vietnam plywood manufacturer for a Certificate of Compliance and third-party laboratory test reports.
Every FOMEX GREENWOOD plywood shipment includes test documentation and traceability codes to ensure full transparency.
Where is CARB-P2 plywood required?
CARB-P2 compliance is mandatory for the United States and Canada, but many importers in the EU, Korea, and Australia also prefer it for eco-friendly furniture and interior applications.
