Certifications
GREENGUARD
UL Environment's GREENGUARD Certification programme helps manufacturers create - and 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
Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik. A German authority similar to “Boverket”, sets limitations on emissions from construction products and building elements, to ensure that they're at a safe level for people moving in. German flooring contractors are obliged to use products that are DIBt-approved.
Emicode
This is an 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. 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 criteria that differ from DIBt. Products are categorised in the classes A+, A, B and C, where A+ is for the products with the lowest emissions.
