Our evaluation

After checking the label according to the requirements of the DGNB, we come to the following conclusion: The Indoor Air Comfort Gold label is recognised for the criterion ENV1.2 Risks to the local environment as proof of compliance with the emission requirements according to the following table.

 

Justification

The Indoor Air Comfort Gold label recognises building products with low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions. It combines compliance with the limit values of the relevant European regulations on VOC emissions of products as well as those of most voluntary VOC emission labels. The label particularly supports health and environmental aspects in the building sector and thus promotes better indoor air quality.

The award criteria are co-developed by independent committees. The award procedure is clear and transparent. Compliance with the award criteria is verified by regular and comprehensive checks in the form of monitoring, audits and repeat tests. The testing laboratories must have the appropriate accreditation.

If a label owner fails to comply with the criteria for awarding the label, the label will be withdrawn.

The recognition of the Indoor Air Comfort Gold label was based on the proof of equivalence submitted by the label provider.

The basis of the recognition is the criterion ENV1.2 - Risks for the local environment in the 2018 version. The recognition is limited to the emission evidence of lines 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 20, 23, 47a, 48 - New Construction and Indoor - Criteria Matrix (Annex 1) and lines 1 and 2 - Indoor - Criteria Matrix (Annex 2).

 

Validity

The recognition is valid for the Indoor Air Comfort Gold certification level and is valid for one year from the publication of this test report, i.e. until 27 December 2024. Thereafter, the classifications will be adjusted or reviewed by the DGNB on the basis of confirmations or subsequent submissions from Eurofins.
