Inquiry

Credit 4.4 states that "... must contain no added urea-formaldehyde resins." The requirement to meet this credit states "Provide a cut sheet.....highlighting urea-formaldehyde resin limits." I was looking for clarification as to what constitutes "added" urea-formaldehyde and what constitutes "urea-formaldehyde resin limits." The word "added" seems to imply there is a baseline level of urea-formaldehyde in composite wood (such a particleboard) above which would be considered "added". In addition, the phrase "urea-formaldehyde resin limits" seems to imply again that there is some baseline level (or limit).
