Our interior paint is GREENGUARD Gold Certified, meaning it is certified to be low-emitting, contains fewer pollutants and contributes to healthier indoor air quality. GREENGUARD Certification requires that products meet some of the world's most rigorous standards for low emissions of VOCs into indoor environments. To become GREENGUARD Gold Certified, our interior paint formulas were extensively tested for over 360 VOCs and other hazardous chemicals. The paint is tested in a dynamic environmental chambers where air flow is modeled to simulate actual product use in a typical home environment. Measurements for chemical and particle emissions are taken at intervals during testing and products are required to meet allowable emission levels within 7 to 14 days of installation. This testing is performed by UL Environment, a global, independent safety science company with more than a century of expertise.
The GREENGUARD Gold standard includes health based criteria for additional chemicals and also requires lower total VOC emissions levels to ensure that products are acceptable for use in environments such as schools and healthcare facilities. In addition to limiting emissions of more than 360 VOCs and total chemical emissions, GREENGUARD Gold Certified products must also comply with requirements of the State of California's Department of Public Health "Standard Method for the Testing and Evaluation of Volatile Organic Chemical Emissions from Indoor Sources Using Environmental Chambers, Version 1.1 (2010)" (also known as California Section 01350).
To remain certified, our interior paint will undergo comprehensive certification testing on an annual basis, so you can have peace of mind that our products support better healthier indoor air environments.
