Every flooring solution we develop is created with the health and safety of both craftsmen and floor owners in mind. Our R&D team is constantly exploring the limits of technology to develop sustainable products and solutions that are well ahead of legislation, fullfilling relevant criteria and standards.

GreenGuard

UL Environment's GREENGUARD Certification program helps manufacturers create--and helps buyers identify and trust--interior products and materials that have low chemical emissions, improving the quality of the air in which the products are used. All certified products must meet stringent emissions standards based on established chemical exposure criteria.

Dibt

Deutches Institut für Bautechnologie. A German authority similar to “Boverket”. Sets limitations on emissions from construction products and building elements to ensure that they are at a safe level for the ones moving in afterwards. German flooring contractors are obliged to use products that are DIBt approved.

Emicode

Industry organisation that measures emissions from flooring installation products, adhesives and building materials. Products classified as “very low emission” and carrying the GEV label EMICODE® EC1PLUS offer the best possible assurance against indoor air pollution for a high level of health protection and environmental compatibility. See the file under DIBt for emicode criteria’s. The EMICODE is a voluntary classification.

EU Ecolabel

The EU Ecolabel should help identify products and services that have a reduced environmental impact throughout their life cycle, from the extraction of raw material through to production, use and disposal. Recognised throughout Europe, the EU Ecolabel is a voluntary label promoting environmental excellence which can be trusted.

Afnor

The French regulation on indoor air emissions has other criteria than DIBt. Products are categorized in the classes A+, A, B and C, where A+ is for the products with the lowest emissions.
