Do impregnated papers and their derivatives (laminates) emit formaldehyde? Are there any limits?

The impregnated papers are normally made with formaldehyde-based resins (urea and melamine resins) and then they can emit formaldehyde. There is no official classification, but some studies carried out also by CATAS may suggest unofficial limits to be used for the control of these materials.
