• Microbial Resistance Listing Program

  • The GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI) lists representative samples of products that have been found to be microbial resistant when tested according to ASTM D 6329-98 and analyzed with a quantitative scale. This analytical approach was developed under a study conducted by Air Quality Sciences, Inc. and piloted over 21 months.  Products are listed under this program, though no formal certification is available at this time.  For more information on this study, please see Final Report On The GREENGUARD Pilot Study Of Microbial Resistance (Phases 1 And 2).

     

    For more information on the test method used to identify the resistance of products, please see the GREENGUARD Microbial Resistance Test Method.  The GREENGUARD Microbial Resistance Listing Program provides a resource of products that have been shown to resist the growth of mold when subjected to adverse environmental conditions.  Products listed have been voluntarily submitted for testing by manufacturers.  GEI lists products for one year upon successful completion of this test, and products must be annually re-tested to retain their listing.  

     

    While no products are mold proof and it is uncertain that any material will resist mold or mildew indefinitely, information on the microbial resistance of products helps those who purchase building products make informed decisions.
