ISO 9001 specifies requirements for a quality management system where an organization needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products that meet customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements; in addition to enhancing customer satisfaction through the effective application of the system, including processes for continual improvement of the system and assurance of conformity to customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.

OHSAS 18001 : 2007

OHSAS 1800:2007, also known as Occupational Health and Safety Management Certification, is a British Standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management Compliance. It provides a framework to control, identify and decrease the risks associated with health and safety within the workplace.

Employers are under pressure to ensure that an accurate health and safety policy is put in place. This protects the employees against all the possible occupational risks that can occur. It also helps in reducing the likelihood of accidents in the organization. An organization by way of planning can also identify the health and safety risks to confirm the health and safety laws.

EPD Verified

EPDs may help building projects qualify for points through the LEED v4 in criteria for the Materials and Resources (MR) category (credit Building product disclosure and optimization – environmental product declarations) and the International Green Construction Code. EPDs are also increasingly required in international markets for consumer and commercial products.

Manufacturers can assess the position of their products in the marketplace and respond to increasing demands for environmentally sustainable products and transparency in environmental claims.

Indoor Air Quality Certified

FloorScore is a voluntary, independent certification program that tests and certifies hard surface flooring and the materials they’re made with to ensure they are in compliance with stringent indoor air quality emissions.

FloorScore Certification is a third-party certification created by the Resilient Floor Covering Institute. Experts test hard surface flooring products to certify that they are in compliance with strict indoor air quality standards. Any product that meets these stringent standards is a product that will contribute to good indoor air quality. Essentially, the FloorScore certification means healthier, cleaner air in your home or where you work.

Health Product Declarations

Health Product Declarations (HPDs) provide a full disclosure of the potential chemicals of concern in products by comparing product ingredients to a set of priority “hazard” lists based on the GreenScreen for Safer Chemicals and additional lists from other government agencies. HPDs qualify for numerous green building schemes, including LEED v4, WELL, Google Portico, and Living Product Challenge.

An HPD is a Health Product Declaration^® that contains standardized, accurate and consistent reporting of product contents and associated health information for products used in the built environment.
