GREENGUARD Certification
GREENGUARD certification proves that your product (including furniture, paint, flooring, insulation, or building materials) emits very low levels of VOCs and other chemicals indoors. US hospitals, schools, and LEED-certified buildings prefer or require GREENGUARD-certified products from their suppliers. GREENGUARD Gold (previously ChildGuard) is the higher standard required for children's environments and healthcare. We arrange testing through certified labs and manage the certification process.
