I have a material with german formaldehyde content certificate.
Any experiences regarding this?

Csaba,I do not have experience with this, however to meet the credit requirements here must be no added urea formaldehyde. So if you can determine if that is what the certification means you may be alright.

Thanks Emily, it's true.
My problem is I have no idea what this standard contains. I hope there's somebody from Europe here who knows DIN and can give a hint it's okay to go deeper in this or not.

I have zero knowledge of the the DIN standard, but my general impression of standards from outside the U.S. is that they are typically emissions based, and don't meet the no-UF requirement.
