GREENGUARD Products Emission Standard for Children & Schools
GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified Products meet the following minimum emission requirements:
Category: Surfacing Materials SubCategory: Stone
Individual VOCs1< 1/100 TLV and < ½ CA chronic REL
Formaldehyde2< 0.0135 ppm/13.5 ppb
Total VOCs3< 0.22 mg/m³
Total Aldehydes4< 0.043 ppm/43 ppb
Total Phthalates5< 0.01 mg/m³
Total Particles (< 10µm)6< 0.02 mg/m³

1Any VOC not listed must produce an air concentration level no greater than 1/100 the Threshold Limit Value (TLV) industrial work place standard (Reference: American Conference of Government Industrial Hygienists, 6500 Glenway, Building D-7, Cincinnati, Ohio 45211-4438) and no greater than 1/2 the CA Chronic Reference Exposure Level (CREL) http://www.oehha.ca.gov/air/chronic_rels/AllChrels.html - (CRELs)Adopted by the State of California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), February 2005).

2Formaldehyde criteria established so that emission levels reach 0.014ppm (13.5 ppb) within 14 days of installation (meeting CA 1350 requirements).

3Defined to be the total response of measured VOCs falling within the C6 – C16 range, with responses calibrated to a toluene surrogate.

4Defined to be the total response of a specific target list of aldehydes (2-butenal; acetaldehyde; benzaldehyde; 2, 5-dimethylbenzaldehyde, 2-methylbenzaldehyde; 3-and/or 4-methylbenzaldehyde; butanal; 3-methylbutanal; formaldehyde; hexanal; pentanal; propanal), with each individually calibrated to a compound specific standard.

5Total phthalates include dibutyl (DBP), diethylhexyl (DEHD), diethyl (DEP), butylbenzyl (BBP), di-octyl (DOP), and dimethyl (DMP) phthalates.

6Particles applicable to fibrous, particle releasing products with exposed surface area.

Complies with California Department of Health Services'Standard Practice for the Testing of Volatile Organic Emissions from Various Sources Using Small-Scale Environmental Chambers 2004 (CA section 01350)

GREENGUARD Certification affirms that a product’s emissions fall within the limits selected by GREENGUARD from reputable third-party risk based criteria, as identified above. GREENGUARD program testing is conducted consistent with a defined protocol and does not measure emissions under usage conditions other than those defined in the protocol and does not address potential environmental impact other than chemical emissions.
