Indoor Air Comfort® Certification

Your industry, our focus

The best choice for European, US, and/or global compliancy for low-emitting construction products!

General description of our certification

The Indoor Air Comfort^® umbrella of certification combines the most relevant emission specifications and requirements in one certification to help ensure your product’s quality. Our trusted and accredited 3^rd party verification shows your company’s dedication to having low emitting products that contribute to healthier indoor environments.

For many years, Eurofins Indoor Air Comfort^® (Indoor Air Comfort^®, Indoor Air Comfort^® Gold, and now including Indoor Air Comfort^® USA) certification has been the obvious choice of hundreds of companies for proving that construction products adhere to the most stringent limit values. Through regular surveillance and full scale testing, Indoor Air Comfort^® is a trusted (and ISO 17065 accredited) certification and label for legal compliancy, voluntary labels, and green building certification schemes.

Eurofin's Indoor Air Comfort Gold and Indoor Air Comfort USA certifications are accredited according to ISO 17065, which means that DANAK, as an independent body, now controls the quality of our certification processes and audits us annually. This accreditation is a clear sign of our high quality of the certification processes and the way we work.

What is the difference between the labels?

Indoor Air Comfort^® and Indoor Air Comfort^® Gold use the European method for VOC emission testing to make sure that your product fulfills low product emissions requirements. It is also a sign of your brand’s focus on quality and contribution to a healthy indoor environment.

Now we have created Indoor Air Comfort^® USA certification, which uses the same principles for regular factory audits and surveillance, but products are tested using the US methods for VOC emission testing (and VOC content testing for wet applied products). Certified products need to meet some of the most stringent requirements to achieve maximum compliancy for commercial projects and to show consumers that an Indoor Air Comfort^® USA certified product contributes to better and healthier indoor air quality.

Combining the labels for global compliancy:

Yes, for true global compliancy in Europe, USA, and in many other countries around the world, the combination of Indoor Air Comfort^® Gold and Indoor Air Comfort^® USA is the obvious choice. With one factory audit, and one combined test, you can have both Indoor Air Comfort^® (Gold) and Indoor Air Comfort^® USA certification.

This makes the combined offering of Indoor Air Comfort^® Gold the only label that combines regular full scale testing according to the European and US methods, along with regular factory surveillance.
