As a CARB-approved and EPA-recognized third party certifier, Capital Testing operates a formaldehyde emissions certification program that serves laminated product and composite wood panel producers across North America.  We also offer a "trust but verify" test program for finished goods manufacturers that wish to verify their suppliers are using CARB and TSCA Title VI compliant materials. 

Capital Testing's flame spread certification program helps architects and customers have the confidence they need to specify and purchase your products.  Third party verification ensures your product lines comply with all applicable flame spread requirements in the building code, and give you the ability to advertise and mark your products as certified to a specific classification (e.g. Class A). 

Capital Testing's Low Peak Rate of Heat Release certification program ensures your waste bins and laundry containers meet the highest standards of fire safety, providing both protection and peace of mind for your customers.

Recent criminal prosecutions highlight the need for an effective internal due diligence quality assurance program for establishing confidence that illegal timber is excluded from your timber supply chain. Capital Testing's Legal Timber Due Diligence certification program does just that by seamlessly integrating with your company's existing chain of custody program and supporting its conformity with the U.S. Lacey Act, European Union Timber Regulation (EUTR), and other legal timber requirements worldwide.

Differentiate your hardwood plywood in the marketplace by certifying it to meet all requirements of ANSI/HPVA HP-1, the only national consensus standard for hardwood plywood. Product conformance is determined through on-going in-house and third party testing/evaluation of product types for moisture content, three cycle soak (type II glue bond), dimensional tolerance (thickness, length, width, squareness, and straightness), chemical resistance (pre-finished only) and formaldehyde emissions as stated in the HP-1 standard.
