The compliance sheet arrives before the colour board

Australian buyers I work with now open with the standards sheet, not the swatch. Emission limits sit on the table before anyone talks about oak tone. A board that passes a showroom in Foshan can fail a wharf inspection on a line that was never written down.

I am seeing more quotes where the supplier lists the board brand but not the emission class, and that gap is what holds the container at the dock. Before you pick a finish, ask for the emission class and the laminate brand on the same line as the price.

Send me your project use and I will mark which line on the quote needs a number, not a name.
