Industries that use 1 cubic meter formaldehyde test chambers(also known as 1m³formaldehyde environmental chambers or formaldehyde emission climate chambers)are primarily those whose materials and products may release formaldehyde during production and use,and which require strict testing and control of formaldehyde release levels.These industries are typically subject to national or regional environmental regulations and indoor air quality standards,and must ensure that their products meet formaldehyde limits to protect human health and residential safety.

The following are the main industries that require a 1m³formaldehyde test chamber and their typical application scenarios:

I.Furniture Manufacturing Industry��

��Related Products:

•Engineered wood furniture(e.g.,wardrobes,beds,desks,cabinets,etc.)

•Solid wood veneer furniture

•Panel furniture

•Office furniture

✅Why is this necessary:

Furniture extensively uses engineered wood products(such as plywood,particleboard,and fiberboard).These boards use formaldehyde-containing adhesives during manufacturing,making them a major source of indoor formaldehyde pollution.To ensure product environmental friendliness,formaldehyde emissions must be tested using a 1m³climate chamber method to ensure compliance with national standards(such as China's GB 18580 and GB/T 39600).

II.Wood-based Panels and Building Materials Industry��

��Related Products:

•Plywood

•Particleboard

•Fiberboard(MDF)

•Blockboard

•Molded Particleboard

•Decorative Veneer-faced Wood-based Panels

•Wood Materials for Construction

✅Why is this necessary:

These engineered wood panels are fundamental materials in interior decoration and furniture manufacturing,and are also major sources of formaldehyde release.National and industry mandatory standards(such as GB 18580"Formaldehyde Emission Limits in Indoor Decoration and Renovation Materials—Artificial Boards and Their Products")require the use of a 1m³environmental chamber method to test formaldehyde emissions and determine whether they meet environmental protection standards such as E1,E0,and ENF.

III.Interior Decoration and Renovation Materials Industry��️

��Related Products:

•Decorative Paper

•Veneer Panels

•Flooring(especially composite and engineered flooring)

•Wallpaper and Wall fabric

•Decorative Coatings(some types)

•Sealant,Putty,and other auxiliary materials

✅Why is this necessary:

These materials are used extensively in renovations and are potential sources of formaldehyde release indoors.Especially for wood-based flooring materials such as composite flooring,a 1m³formaldehyde test chamber is often used to test their long-term,stable formaldehyde release behavior to assess their environmental performance and ensure they meet human living environment requirements.

IV.Automotive Interior Industry��

��Related Products:

•Car seat leather/fabric

•Headliner materials

•Carpets

•Dashboards,door panels,and other plastic/wood components

•Automotive interior composite panels

✅Why is this necessary:

The interior space of a car is small and highly enclosed.If the formaldehyde release from interior materials exceeds the standard,it will pose a significant threat to the health of passengers.Therefore,automakers and suppliers need to conduct rigorous formaldehyde release tests on interior materials.Some high-end or export models use a 1m³climate chamber method to simulate real-world release conditions.

V.Textile and Furniture Industry��️

��Related Products:

•Sofa fabrics

•Mattress fillings and fabrics

•Curtains and fabric decorations

•Child chairs and home textiles

✅Why is this necessary:

Some textiles may use formaldehyde-containing auxiliaries during the printing,dyeing,and finishing processes,especially children's products and products that come into direct contact with the skin,where formaldehyde content and release levels are strictly limited.Some high-end products or export orders will use formaldehyde testing chambers to test release levels.

VI.Toys and Children's Products Industry��

��Related Products:

•Children's Furniture(beds,tables,chairs,etc.)

•Children's Toys(wooden,plastic)

•Children's Room Decorating Materials

•Infant Mattresses,Crawling Mats

✅Why is this necessary:

Children are more sensitive to harmful substances such as formaldehyde,and various countries have extremely strict regulations on the use and release of formaldehyde in children's products.To ensure product safety,manufacturers need to conduct formaldehyde release tests on raw materials and finished products.A 1m³environmental chamber is an effective means of simulating a real-world release environment.

VII.Building and Indoor Air Quality Testing Industry��

��Related Institutions:

•Third-party environmental testing laboratories

•Building materials testing centers

•Indoor air quality testing institutions

•Quality supervision and inspection institutions

✅Why is this necessary:

These organizations are responsible for quality supervision and environmental certification of building materials,decoration materials,and furniture products.They must be equipped with a 1m³formaldehyde test chamber to test formaldehyde emissions according to national standards and issue legally valid test reports for project acceptance,product certification,market access,etc.

VIII.Export Manufacturing and International Trade Industry��

��Related Companies:

•Furniture Export Manufacturers

•International Building Materials Suppliers

•Multinational Home Furnishing Brands

✅Why is this necessary:

Many countries and regions(such as the EU,the US,and Japan)have strict requirements for formaldehyde emissions from imported wood products,furniture,and building materials,often exceeding domestic standards.Exporting companies must use a 1m³formaldehyde climate chamber to conduct tests according to international standards(such as JIS A 1460,EN 717-1,ASTM D6007,etc.)to meet the market access requirements of their target markets.

IX.Research and Teaching Fields��

��Related Institutions:

•University Schools of Materials Science and Engineering,Departments of Environmental Science

•Environmental Protection Research Institutes

•Materials Research and Development Laboratories

✅Why is it needed:

It is used to study the formaldehyde release patterns in different materials,evaluate the performance of new environmentally friendly adhesives,and research environmental simulation and pollution control technologies.The 1m³environmental chamber is an important piece of equipment in the scientific research field due to its ability to simulate a real living environment.
