My understanding is that the credit requires documentation that a product does not contain any added formaldehyde and that the team highlights the portion of the document that substantiates the claim (this is directly out of the reference guide). Therefore, just a statement that it doesn't contain any added urea formaldehyde from the manufacturer wouldn't be enough, would it? What if it was a Chinese manufacturer? Given the problems with wallboard, dog food, infant formula, and pharmaceuticals, some of my clients wouldn't be comfortable accepting a letter from a company in China or some other countries that have less stringent regulations on products. Please advise as to what is acceptable documentation.

If a product has documentation from CARB to meet California's formaldehyde-free resin regulation (or very low formaldehyde for products sold in CA but not eligible for this credit), is that accepted as documentation for the credit?

Thanks!
