Emeryville, Calif.—SCS Global Services (SCS) has accredited Eurofins Air Toxics an ISO 17025 credentialed environmental chamber emissions testing facility in Folsom, Cal if., to conduct volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions testing for the SCS Indoor Advantage, SCS Indoor Advantage Gold and FloorScore certification programs.
Additionally, SCS will accept Eurofins Air Toxics’ test results to confirm conformance with industry-recognized sustainability and environmental claims standards, such as the popular California standard for indoor VOC emissions (CDPH SM V1.1, CA 01350), and the US commercial furniture industry sustainable manufacturing standard (ANSI/BIFMA e3).
Accurate, reproducible data are critical to indoor air quality certification. Accreditation by SCS verifies that Eurofins Air Toxics meets stringent quality management system guidelines. Manufacturers of flooring, furniture and building materials can use Eurofins Air Toxics to build data sets that can be leveraged towards SCS certification. Certified products are routinely specified for LEED-rated buildings, government institutions, healthcare facilities, and schools that meet green building guidelines.
