EMICODE
EMICODE is a classification system for building products that evaluates the emissions of harmful substances in indoor spaces. It was developed to provide consumers and architects with an objective assessment of the environmental and health friendliness of building products.
EMICODE specifies different classes that indicate how environmentally friendly and health-friendly a product is. The classes range from EC1 (very low emissions) to EC3 (higher emissions). EMICODE-certified products are regularly tested by independent testing institutes and must meet certain requirements in order to receive certification.
EMICODE-certified products are considered to be particularly environmentally friendly and health-friendly and are therefore particularly suitable for indoor use. They do not contain any harmful substances that could lead to allergic reactions, headaches, nausea or other health problems.
The EMICODE system is recognized and appreciated by architects, construction companies, manufacturers and consumers worldwide. It helps in the selection of building products that guarantee comfortable and healthy indoor air and contributes to cleaner and healthier indoor environments.Overall, EMICODE is an important factor in the selection of building products, especially when it comes to the health and well-being of people indoors. It helps consumers and architects to make an informed decision and assess the environmental friendliness and health benefits of building products.
