Emissions testing at Eurofins

 

Eurofins Scientific is a global leader in bioanalytical testing, operating over 900 laboratories around the world to provide industry-leading testing that supports product safety and compliance. Each year, Eurofins runs over 450 million tests globally to make sure that products meet safety standards.

 

We partner with Eurofins on VOC emissions testing, where materials and products are tested to see what they are releasing into the atmosphere and the impact that it will have on air quality. The testing process measures VOCs over time in real-world conditions, monitoring how it behaves over a set period of time.

After testing, Eurofins provides accurate and reliable VOC reports that are designed to align with the requirements of many leading green building standards, including WELL, LEED and BREEAM.


 

The importance of VOC testing

Testing for VOCs is crucial for maintaining indoor air quality and protecting our health. For workplaces, it provides the data that is needed to make informed, responsible specification decisions, and can ensure that you are complying with building standards.

As healthier workplaces and environmental responsibility are top priorities for many people, having robust VOC testing demonstrates dedication to occupant wellbeing, as well as adding weight to your sustainability credentials.
