    We have state-of-the-art equipment to carry out the tests required for the determination of the volatile organic compound emissions (VOCs), along with the qualified technical staff to advise on the best solution and type of labelling in accordance with the type of product and its potential market.

    This type of testing is essential in order to market any product that is going to be used indoors in France, Belgium and Germany, as it is necessary to label each product in accordance with its VOC emissions.

    These tests also enhance the product image, facilitate its introduction in the market and increase consumer confidence.

    We also carry out product assessment based on its volatile content and emissions to obtain LEED points.
