Last October two environmental groups challenged the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) authority to extend the compliance deadlines for the formaldehyde emissions rule.

The extension gives manufacturers and importers an additional year before having to comply with the Formaldehyde Emission Standards for Composite Wood Products. The original compliance deadline was December 12, 2017.

Several US industry associations have filed briefs with the court in support of the deadline extension, including the Composite Panel Association and the International Wood Products Association who represent importers. The federal district court hearing on the case has been postponed until the end of January.
