CARB stands for California Air Resources Board, also known as Air Resources Board (ARB). It is a department of the California Environmental Protection Agency. It was established in 1967 with the purpose of maintaining and improving air quality, and researching causes and solutions of air pollution. CARB's mandates, such as CARB 2 compliant MDF, are strict and usually are considered the standard across the United States.
What is CARB Phase 2 Compliant?
CARB Phase 1 and Phase 2 are a part of California's Composite Wood Products Regulation (CWP Regulation), which took effect in 2009 with Phase 1. The regulation has to do with reducing formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products, hardwood plywood, particleboard and medium density fiberboard (MDF). In the 2009 rollout of the CARB's Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM), formaldehyde emissions were capped at .08 parts per million (ppm). CARB Phase 2 went into effect in 2010 and has much lower formaldehyde emissions than the previous phase; set at .05 ppm. A main reason why the CARB ATCM is the strictest air quality measure is because it CAPS emissions levels. Other air quality standards are averages.

The cabinets were easy to build and install and were exactly what I was looking for. All the soft closing features function smoothly and seem to me to be high quality. Really happy with how my remodel has turned out!
I designed an island for our kitchen and after numerous searches I kept coming back to RTA. took a chance on color and ordered cabinets. very happy with selection design
I was looking for a white but not a bright white and the Lakewood white is soft and beautiful!
I love these cabinets and would buy them again in a heartbeat. I just wish there were more accessory options. They look beautiful!
