0.080 mg/m3 for articles other than furniture and wood-based articles.The above restrictions shall not apply to:
articles in which formaldehyde or formaldehyde releasing substances are exclusively naturally present in the materials from which the articles are produced;

Air exchange rate: (1 ± 0.05) h-1;
Duration: shall be sufficiently long to allow the determination of the steady state concentration but shall not exceed 28 days.Shall not be placed on the market in road vehicles after 6 August 2027 if, under the test conditions specified in Appendix 14, the concentration of formaldehyde in the interior of those vehicles exceeds 0.062 mg/m3.
