A federal court ruled that the US Environmental Protection Agency had no authority to delay compliance with formaldehyde emission standards. The ruling was in favour of two environmental groups who challenged the delay.

The extension would have given manufacturers and importers an additional year before having to comply with the Formaldehyde Emission Standards for Composite Wood Products. The original compliance deadline was December 12, 2017.

Several US industry associations filed briefs with the court in support of the deadline extension, including the Composite Panel Association and the International Wood Products Association who represents importers. Parties have until March 9 now to confer on an alternative compliance date for the formaldehyde emissions rule.
