In order to achieve a healthy environment, it is important to pay attention to ingredients of materials for flooring installation and construction products such as insulation panels, adhesives or seals. To ensure greatest possible protection regarding health, environmental and indoor air hygiene, you should rely on materials awarded the EMICODE® label. They are very low in emissions, meet the strictest tolerances and standards and are permanently monitored by independent inspection bodies.
The EMICODE® classification system was introduced in 1997 by GEV (Gemeinschaft Emissionskontrollierte Verlegewerkstoffe, Klebstoffe und Bauprodukte e.V.) and has become the key national and international quality benchmark for a wide range of product groups.
In order to be awarded the EMICODE® label, manufacturers need to submit their products to extensive testing at recognized institutions. Based on the scientifically determined measurement data, EMICODE® categorizes flooring installation materials, adhesives and construction products into three emission classes.
Only materials complying with the strict emission requirements shall be awarded the EMICODE® label. Manufacturers undertake to produce these materials according to high quality safety standards and under strict monitoring in order to fulfil the EMICODE® requirements at any time.
To ensure maximum reliability of the emission claims for the materials, the products are regularly submitted to random spot checks by independent, internationally recognized testing institutes.
This offers consumers, craftsmen and architects guidance to decide which materials offer maximum security against indoor air pollution and guarantee the best health protection and high environmental compatibility.
