Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between GREENGUARD and other indoor air quality certifications?
GREENGUARD is unique in its focus on specific chemical emissions limits for indoor environments. Unlike general environmental certifications, it provides detailed testing for VOCs and other potentially harmful chemicals, with two levels of certification: GREENGUARD and GREENGUARD Gold (which has more stringent requirements for sensitive environments like schools and healthcare facilities).
Which products can be GREENGUARD certified?
GREENGUARD certification covers a wide range of products, including furniture, flooring, paints, building materials, cleaning products, electronics, textiles, and other items used in indoor environments. The certification is particularly valuable for products used in sensitive spaces like schools, healthcare facilities, and offices.
How long is GREENGUARD certification valid?
GREENGUARD certification is typically valid for one year, with annual recertification required. During this period, manufacturers must maintain the same product composition and emissions levels that were tested during the initial certification.
What are the costs associated with GREENGUARD certification?
Certification costs vary depending on the product type and complexity, typically ranging from $3,000 to $15,000 for initial testing and certification. Annual recertification costs are usually lower. Factors affecting cost include the number of product variations, complexity of materials, and specific testing requirements.
How does GREENGUARD certification relate to LEED and WELL certifications?
GREENGUARD certification is often used as a key component in LEED and WELL building certifications. Many points in these green building standards can be earned by using GREENGUARD-certified products, making it a valuable credential for sustainable design projects.
What specific emissions are tested in GREENGUARD certification?
GREENGUARD testing covers a comprehensive range of chemical emissions, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde, phthalates, and other potentially harmful chemicals. The certification ensures that products meet stringent limits for these emissions, protecting indoor air quality and human health.
