Breathe easy… all plywood products from THEBAULT Group are already E0.5 certified.

📅 From 6 August 2026, the revision of the European REACH regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) will impose new, more restrictive limits in Europe for all products that emit formaldehyde, including wood-based panels, furniture, construction products and, in 2027, vehicle fittings.

Applicable throughout Europe from that date, the new threshold will halve the limit for permitted formaldehyde emissions, reducing them to 0.062 mg/m³, measured in accordance with standard EN 717-1. No wood-based panels exceeding this threshold, commonly referred to as E0.5, will be allowed to be sold in the European Union.

For more than 15 years, the THEBAULT Group has chosen to modify its manufacturing process so that it only offers its customers plywood panels with formaldehyde levels below the values that will soon be imposed.

With TEBOPIN, TEBOPLUS and TEBOPLY plywood, you can confidently anticipate upcoming regulations without worrying about storing non-compliant products that will be banned from sale after 6 August 2026!
