GREENGUARD Gold Certification for RIM Office Furniture Collections
We are thrilled to announce that our Flexi, Victory, Space, Muuna, Lambda, Winx, and Edge collections have all received the prestigious GREENGUARD Gold Certification.
What is GREENGUARD Gold Certification?
UL GREENGUARD Gold is an internationally recognized certification focused on chemical emissions from products used in interiors. Certified products undergo testing and must meet strict limits for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other monitored chemical substances. They therefore help reduce the amount of emissions released from furniture into the indoor environment. Gold certification is also intended for sensitive environments such as schools, healthcare facilities, offices, and other spaces where people spend a significant part of the day.
Why is This Certification Important?
Many materials used in furniture industry, such as foams, adhesives, coatings, and textiles, can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) over time. VOCs, including substances like formaldehyde and other aldehydes, benzene, or toluene, are chemicals that evaporate at room temperature and can be harmful when inhaled in significant quantities. Long-term exposure to VOCs has been linked to a range of health problems, from headaches and allergies to more serious conditions such as respiratory irritation and even cancer.
By achieving GREENGUARD Gold Certification, our products meet stringent limits on VOC emissions, ensuring that they support a safer, healthier indoor environment. The “Gold” designation means our products comply with even stricter criteria, making them suitable for use in sensitive environments like schools and healthcare facilities, where occupant safety is a top priority.
For sustainable building projects
Products certified to UL GREENGUARD Gold can contribute to meeting the requirements of building certification systems such as LEED, WELL, and BREEAM, thanks to their verified low chemical emissions. They therefore offer architects and planners a documented property that can be used when designing interiors with an emphasis on indoor environmental quality and sustainable construction.
We are proud to offer you products that combine excellent quality and comfort with compliance with the strict chemical emission limits of the UL GREENGUARD Gold programme. Thanks to independently verified low emissions, they are also suitable for offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and other interiors where indoor environmental quality is a key consideration.
