When assigning the label, each volatile substance emitted by a product is analysed and quantified separately. Each of them is compared against all existing national and international recommendations, regulations and standards identified by “Indoor Air Controlled”.

The product is given a rating from “A+” to “C” corresponding to the toxicity risk from inhalation that these emissions represent.

Find out below what these ratings actually mean.

The final rating assigned to a product is that of the component substance with the worst rating. The rating is also influenced by the total amount of volatile substances detected.

A product for which each substance has been given a good rating may nevertheless be assigned a poor rating if the substances in total represent a risk to the consumer.

The ratings are updated, if possible in advance, based on regulatory developments.

Finally, it should be noted that the toxicity risks to health relate to normal usage in the recommended quantities for private not professional use. Consult the data sheets for each product for the recommendations for use and the full methodology behind the rating.
