NC-2009 IEQc4.4:Low-Emitting Materials—Composite Wood and Agrifiber Products

Does reconstituted veneer have to comply with IEQc4.4?

Reconstituted veneer is basically layers of wood that are glued together and then sliced into veneer which is subsequently laminated to various core materials to make veneer panels. It is clear that the resins used in the composite wood core materials, as well as glue used in the face veneer lamination step, must comply with IEQc4.4 requirements. But can someone tell me if the resins used in the manufacture of the reconstituted veneer itself must also be NAUF?

I've been looking at this same issue. At this point, I believe the answer is yes the resins used in the manufacture of the veneer must meet the NAUF requirements of IEQc4.4. I'm still digging though, and will let you know if I have new information.

Thanks for your quick reply, Kevin. I'll hope that your search unearths a definitive answer.
