To be certified to the Greenguard Gold standard, the product used must meet stringent chemical emission limits. Greenguard evaluates whether a product meets the standards set by the organization through material performance and condition. Products are tested in a dynamic environment chamber, which is tightly controlled in temperature and humidity for a period of one to two weeks. The purpose of this test is to determine how much chemical is emitted. After passing the test of 10,000 volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the eligible products will be recognized.
But that is not enough. In order to maintain this certification, units need to maintain production operations for a long period of time, thoroughly inspected periodically to ensure stability and consistency. All products are then required to be tested annually to ensure minimum readings for more than 10,000 volatile organic compounds were initially performed.

Together with Royal Group, build a safe and healthy living environment
Indoor air quality (IAQ) is closely related to health and is recognized as a top concern in many countries around the world. With the proliferation of commercial, industrial and home products, daily exposure to VOCs is inevitable.
However, instead of avoiding it, consumers can find solutions to limit the risk of exposure. Using construction materials that emit less VOCs than others is one of the simplest and easiest to do. With strict standards and regulations, consumers are completely safe when choosing products with the Greenguard Gold logo.

VOCs – The invisible “killer”
Life is developing day by day, the appearance of artificial products to meet the needs and tastes of consumers is on the rise. However, if you do not know about the materials used in the home, consumers will be very susceptible to being poisoned by dangerous compounds from conventional furniture. Volatile organic compound (VOCs) emissions from building materials and interior furnishings are major sources of pollution that affect indoor air quality.
VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) are chemicals that easily enter the air as a gas or vapor from solid or liquid materials. VOCs are ingredients found in a wide variety of commercial, industrial and household products.

VOCs easily become gases or vapors and are highly exposed if accidentally inhaled, swallowed with contaminated food or water, or even in direct contact with skin. VOCs, especially restricted VOCs (Benzene, Formaldehyde, Toluene and xylene, Ethanol, Dichlorobenzene, Acetone, Methylene chloride …) are known to have adverse effects on human health and the environment. Symptoms such as drowsiness, dizziness, headache, tremor, confusion or unconsciousness may occur if exposed to even short-term high levels of VOCs. Prolonged exposure to high levels of VOCs can lead to damage to organs, including the central nervous system, liver and kidneys. When levels are above certain exposure levels, some VOCs can cause cancer and damage to the reproductive system.
Besides, many other bacteria and fungi, if meeting the appropriate conditions, will multiply and affect the health of users. And that is also the reason that the Greenguard standard was born, to ensure the necessary requirements for building materials. Greenguard certification has been widely applied as a reliable standard for low-emissions furniture products. In fact, there are hundreds of Greenguard certified product codes, standards, guidelines, procurement policies and green building rating systems.
