2、se of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers a small scale procedure for measuring formaldehyde emission potent
3、ial from wood products.products under defined test conditions. The formaldehyde level is determined by collecting air-borne formaldehyde in a smalldistilled water reservoir within a closed desiccator. The quantity of formaldehyde is determined by a modification of the NationalInstitute for Occupatio
4、nal Safety and Health (NIOSH) 3500 chromotropic acid test procedure. Other analytical procedures may beused to determine formaldehyde emission potential provided that such methods give similar results to the chromotropic acidprocedure. However, the test results and test report must be properly quali
5、fied and the analytical procedure employed must benoted. Procedures based on acetylacetone and pararosaniline have been found to give similar results to chromotropic acid in othertest methods used in determining formaldehyde emission potential from wood products (see Test Method E1333).1.2 Wood prod
6、ucts typically evaluated by this test method are made with urea-formaldehyde adhesives and includeparticleboard, hardwood, plywood, and medium-density fiberboard. This test method is used for product quality control and is asmall bench test method that correlates with the large-scale acceptance test
7、 for determining formaldehyde levels from woodproducts, Test Method E1333. The general desiccator testing procedure may be modified for different conditioning times toaccommodate its use in manufacturing quality control. However, the test results must be properly qualified and the conditioningtime e
8、mployed must be noted.NOTE 1If modifications are made to the conditioning period for quality control purposes, it is important that the modification is consistently applied.Otherwise, the results may not be comparable.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.

18、ignificance and Use3.1 Limitations on formaldehyde levels have been established on formaldehyde emission levels for wood panel buildingproducts made with urea-formaldehyde adhesives and permanently installed in homes or used as components in kitchen cabinetsand for similar industrial products. This
19、test method is used in conjunction with the test method referenced by HUD Rules andRegulations 24 CFR 3280 for manufactured housing housing, California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulation 93120, and byMinnesota Statutes Section 144.495 for housing units and building materials. This test method pro
20、vides a means of testingsmall-size samples to determine formaldehyde emission potential.3.2 This test method incorporates a desiccator, with the desiccant removed, having a 250-mm (10-in.) inside diameter and avolume of approximately 10.5 L (641 in.)in.3) with the desiccator lid in place. Conditions
21、 controlled in the procedure are asfollows:3.2.1 Conditioning of panel products prior to testing,3.2.2 Specified number, size, and edge sealing of wood specimens to be placed in the desiccator,3.2.3 Test desiccator temperature, and3.2.4 Samples from the 25-mL distilled water collection medium in the
22、 petri dish bottom are analyzed for formaldehyde at theend of a 2-h period in the closed desiccator.3.3 This test method employs a single set of environmental conditions to assess formaldehyde emission potential from certainwood products.When the relationship between desiccator test values and large
23、-chamber test values are to be determined, the valuesfor the specific wood panel product type shall be plotted. This test method does allow a comparison of formaldehyde levels fromdifferent products for the same use.NOTE 2Care must be exercised in the extension of the results to actual formaldehyde
24、emission from products under actual use conditions.4. Interferences4.1 The NIOSH 3500 analytical method lists phenols as a negative interference when present at an 8:1 excess overformaldehyde.

Equilibrate the desiccator, petri dish bottom, and distilledwater to 24 6 0.6C.room conditions.8.1.2 Before each test, wipe the desiccator with a clean ragcloth or paper towel moistened with distilled water, and then dry witha clean dry ragcloth or paper towel.NOTE 7Formalde
40、hyde can be used as a constituent of wet-strength resins for paper and of permanent-press resins for fabrics. The type of ragclothor paper towel selected for cleaning must be formaldehyde-free.8.1.3 Apply a light coating of vacuum grease to the desiccator lid and desiccator. Avoid excessive use of v
41、acuum grease.8.1.4 Arrange specimens as prepared in 7.1 and 7.2 and condition as in 7.3 on top of the porcelain desiccator plate around aninverted 400-mL beaker as a 100 6 7-mm (4 6 14-in.) high support inside the desiccator for the petri dish bottom distilled waterreservoir. Specimens should be arr
42、anged so that air has access to all surfaces and edges. To obtain an empty desiccator reading,test one desiccator without any test specimens.An empty desiccator reading greater than 0.05 g/mL indicates that the test systemhas been contaminated and the test results shall be voided for all related sam
43、ples in the test process.8.1.5 Pipet 25 mL of distilled water into the bottom portion of petri dish.8.1.6 Carefully lower the petri dish bottom containing distilled water into the desiccator until it rests upon the inverted 400-mLbeaker.8.1.7 Slide the desiccator lid into place making sure a good se
44、al is obtained.8.1.8 Observe and record the time.8.1.9 Maintain the desiccator test room at 24 6 0.6C0.1C (75 6 1F).2F). Record the temperature at 30-min intervals.Alternatively, use a continuous temperature recorder. Report any temperature range deviations.8.1.10 After 120 6 1 min, remove the desic
45、cator lid and carefully remove the petri dish. Proceed immediately to 8.2.1. Whenrunning multiple desiccator tests, initiate 8.2.1 within 10 min, otherwise cover the petri dish or dishes with parafilm while awaitinganalysis.8.2 Analysis of Water Samples:8.2.1 Gently swirl the petri dish and pipet 4
46、mLof the solution into each of two 16 by 150-mm screw cap test tubes for duplicateanalysis. Label to avoid subsequent error. Alternatively, use three tubes for triplicate analysis.8.2.2 Pipet 4 mL of distilled water into a 16 by 150-mm screw capped test tube to act as a “blank.”8.2.3 Add 0.1 mL of 1
47、 % chromotropic acid reagent to each test tube and shake to mix.8.2.4 Slowly and carefully pipet 6.0 mL concentrated sulfuric acid into each test tube (PrecautionSee 6.1.) and allow to flowdown the side of test tube. Allow the volumetric pipet to drain. Do not blow out. Before placing caps on test t
48、ubes, check thecondition of the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) cap liners to make sure they are clean and not deteriorated.8.2.5 Ensure adequate mixing by use of a vibrating laboratory mixer or other means. Mixing is complete when there is no signof stratification. If absorbance readings routinely e
49、xceed 1.0 or if spectrophotometric analysis is performed within 2 h, heat cappedtest tubes to 95C or place in a boiling water bath for 15 6 2 min to ensure that the chemical reaction is complete. After removal,allow the test tubes to cool to room temperature. Carefully vent test tubes to release pressure. (WarningAvoid rapid mixing asheating and pressure will increase and potentially break the test tube.)8.2.6 Allow the tubes to cool to room temperature. Do not accelerate the cooling. Avoid cooling tubes in direct sunlight as thismay alter co
