Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity
assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical
Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 89, Wood-based panels.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 12460-5:2011), which has been
technically revised.
The objective of the revision was to improve the detection limit and the reproducibility of the method
with regard to boards with low formaldehyde content.
Compared to ISO 12460-5:2011, the following modifications have been made:
a) in 5.3 recommendation of cell length for low emitting samples is added;
b) in 6.4 relative humidity for conditioning climate is increased to (65 ± 5) %;
c) in 7.1 and 8.2 procedure and evaluation of third extraction are modified;
d) in 7.3 accuracy of weighing of test pieces enhanced and higher mass of the test pieces is added as an
option for low emitting boards;
e) in 7.4 precision of blank test is improved;
f) in 7.5.1 fluorimetric determination of formaldehyde is added an option;
g) in 7.5.4 temperature of water bath is increased to 60 °C;
h) in 8.2 modification factors for moisture content is included;
i) in Figure 4 calibration curve is modified;
j) Annex A for calibration and quality assurance is added.
ISO 12460 consists of the following parts, under the general title Wood-based panels — Determination of
formaldehyde release:

Introduction
The “perforator value” as determined by the method laid down in this part of ISO 12460 is considered
to be the “formaldehyde content” of the tested board.
The test results are dependent on the specific board conditions at the time of testing.
The emission of formaldehyde from wood-based panels (e.g. particleboard, plywood, fibreboard, OSB) is
a complex process. For a given board, the test result depends upon the age, ageing conditions, moisture
content, etc., at the time of testing.
In addition, the correlation between the perforator value and the formaldehyde emission of the board
depends on the type of board.

Wood-based panels — Determination of formaldehyde
release —
Part 5:
Extraction method (called the perforator method)
1 Scope
This part of ISO 12460 specifies an extraction method known as the “perforator method”. It is used for
the determination of the formaldehyde content of unlaminated and uncoated wood-based panels.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 16979, Wood-based panels — Determination of moisture content
ISO 16999, Wood-based panels — Sampling and cutting of test pieces
3 Principle
The formaldehyde is extracted from test pieces by means of boiling toluene and then transferred into
distilled or demineralized water. The formaldehyde content of this aqueous solution is determined
photometrically by the acetylacetone method.
4 Reagents
For the analysis, only reagents of analytical quality and distilled or demineralized water shall be used.
4.1 Toluene, which is free from water and from impurities which may interfere with the test.
4.2 Acetylacetone, of analytical grade.
4.3 Ammonium acetate, of analytical grade.
4.4 Formaldehyde solution.
Commercially available formaldehyde solution (concentration typically between 35 % mass fraction to
40 % mass fraction).
5 Apparatus
5.1 Precision balance, with 0,01 g scale intervals.
5.2 Well-ventilated oven, capable of maintaining a temperature of (103 ± 2) °C.
