GREENGUARD Gold Certification (formerly GREENGUARD Children & Schools Certification) offers more stringent certification criteria than standard GREENGUARD, considering safety factors to account for sensitive individuals such as children and the elderly.
Products certified to GREENGUARD Gold standards are scientifically proven to meet some of the world's most rigorous third-party chemical emissions standards, helping to reduce indoor air pollution and the risk of chemical exposure.
The certification is particularly important for products used in schools, daycares, and healthcare facilities. It tests for more than 10,000 individual volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other chemicals.
