Proposed and centralized by the National Forestry and Grassland Administration, and entrusted to the National Technical Committee on Wood-based Panels Standardization for revision, the mandatory national standard GB 18580—2025 "Indoor Decorating and Refurbishing Materials - Formaldehyde Emission Limits of Wood-based Panels and Their Products", jointly developed by the Wood Industry Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Forestry in collaboration with multiple domestic research institutes, universities, quality inspection agencies, and enterprises specializing in wood-based panels and their products, was officially released on May 30, 2025, and implemented from June 1, 2026. This formaldehyde emission limit standard, hailed as "the strictest in history", not only comprehensively raises the environmental protection threshold for the wood-based panel industry but also marks a new stage in China's environmental standards for indoor decorating materials.
As a pioneering brand in China's wood-based panel industry, Jilin Sengong DewRiver was invited to participate in the training session for the implementation of two important national standards: the new national standard GB 18580-2025 "Indoor Decorating and Refurbishing Materials - Formaldehyde Emission Limits of Wood-based Panels and Finishing Products", and GB/T 44689—2024 "Wood-based Panels and Finishing Products - Odor Classification and Evaluation Method".
The release of the new national standard not only upgrades the technical specifications of the industry, but also directly relates to the home health and consumer rights of ordinary consumers. The new national standard liberates consumers from "passive identification of environmental authenticity" to "active selection of health levels" through regulatory enforcement and technological refinement. Therefore, consumers can gradually shift from a single demand for environmental protection levels to multifunctional boards that integrate "environmental protection+functionality+aesthetics+reliability".
Relying on the framework of the new national standard, DewRiver, as a domestic brand, will continue to build four commitment systems of "environmental protection performance+health function+quality assurance+transparent consumption", and will continue to take technological innovation as the engine and consumer health as the center to promote China's wood-based panel industry to move towards green, high-end and transparent direction. Enable Chinese consumers to enjoy world-class eco-friendly home products without the need to search for overseas brands. Let the 'respiratory safety' of future home environments truly be protected by national standards.
Choosing DewRiver not only involves choosing a material, but also a commitment to a healthy lifestyle - a good choice for home furnishings, choosing DewRiver wisely
