What are the differences between eco-board E0 and E1?

Eco-friendly boards are a common type of interior decoration material, but do you know what the differences are? China has issued a mandatory national standard for the board products industry: "Limits of Formaldehyde Emissions from Artificial Boards and Their Products for Indoor Decoration and Renovation Materials" (GB18580-2001). This standard underwent its first revision in 2016. A key element of this revision was the increase in the formaldehyde emission limit and the elimination of the previous E2 level, which was later standardized to E1 and E0. The E1 level formaldehyde emission limit is ≤1.5mg/L .

According to national environmental protection requirements, indoor panels must meet environmental standards of E1 or higher. In other words, these panels are safe, environmentally friendly, and pose little to no harm to the human body. When purchasing panels, be sure to consider the above considerations. Formaldehyde emissions are also closely linked to your health. Below, we'll explain the differences between E0 and E1 eco-friendly panels. Interested parties can take a look.

1. Different standards

The E1 environmental standard is a mandatory national environmental standard and serves as a mandatory safety threshold for panel products. The government clearly stipulates that the formaldehyde emission value of E1-rated panels is ≤1.5mg/L , a safety standard that is essentially harmless to the human body. The E0 environmental standard is even more environmentally friendly and safer, generally complying with international standards. The formaldehyde content must be ≤0.5mg/L, which is lower than the formaldehyde content in water. According to relevant data, the formaldehyde content of E0-rated panels is even lower than that of apples and cabbages.

2. Differences in other aspects

   In addition to the above standards, E1 and E0 grade eco-boards also have some other differences, which are mainly reflected in the following points: First, E0 grade belongs to international standards, while E1 grade belongs to national standards; secondly, the formaldehyde concentration in E0 grade is lower than that in E1 grade, so E0 grade is safer, healthier and more environmentally friendly than E1 grade; finally, because E0 grade boards are safer, their prices are higher than E1 grade boards.
