If you’re in the flooring industry or looking for the latest flooring solutions in 2026, understanding the new national standard and emerging eco-friendly products is crucial.
2026 New Flooring National Standard: What You Need to Know
Effective June 1, 2026, China’s mandatory national standardGB 18580-2025 will reshape the flooring industry. This new standard tightens formaldehyde emission limits, making E0-level (≤0.050mg/m³) a mandatory requirement—over twice stricter than the old E1-level (≤0.124mg/m³). It also improves detection methods to ensure product safety and standardize the market.
