Formaldehyde Standards & Wooden Furniture Safety FAQ
1. Is it true that the lower the formaldehyde content in wooden furniture, the better?
Not necessarily. While high concentrations of formaldehyde can irritate the skin and respiratory tract, lower formaldehyde is not always better. When formaldehyde levels are extremely low, termites and insects are more likely to lay eggs in the wood, and issues with excessive moisture absorption can occur. Retaining a harmless, trace amount of formaldehyde actually provides vital moisture-proof and anti-corrosion functions.
2. How are the common formaldehyde standards (F1, F2, F3, E0, E1, E2) categorized and ordered across different countries?
Standard terms vary depending on regional testing regulations: National Standards of the Republic of China (CNS) use F1, F2, and F3; European Standards (EN) use E1 and E2; and E0 is a custom specification designated by private manufacturers (roughly half the content of E1).
Ranked from lowest to highest formaldehyde content: F1 has the least, followed by F2 = E0, and finally F3 = E1.
