The challenge presented by the Zherorisk
®
research
initiative was to drastically reduce the emission of vola-
tile organic compounds (VOC), the main cause of indo-
or pollution, without altering the chemical and physical
properties of the products.
CERTIFICATIONS
Litokol has embarked on a path to obtain the Environ-
mental Product Declaration (EPD) for all its products
with the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study of Zhe-
rorisk
®
products. The EPD or Environmental Product
Declaration is developed by applying the UNI EN ISO
14025:2010 standard (Environmental labels and decla-
rations - Type III environmental declarations) and is a tool
for communicating objective, comparable and credible
information about the environmental performance of
products and services. The performances, outlined in
the EPD, must be based on the Life Cycle Assessment
(LCA). The international legislative framework for car-
rying out the LCA study are the ISO 14040 Series stan-
dards.
Émission dans l’air intérieur
“Émission dans l’air intérieur” is the man-
datory labelling of building products or
wall and oor covering products used in
buildings, in accordance with the French
regulation on the features of volatile pol-
lution emissions (VOC) for the product.
The product emission level is indicated
by a class ranging from A + (very low
emissions) to C (high emissions), ac-
cording to the same principle used for
electrical appliances.
EC1 PLUS
Litokol products with Zherorisk
®
technology are supplied with EMICODE
EC1 PLUS certication and labelling, for
“products with a very low volatile organic
compound emission rate” in compliance
with the guidelines issued by GEV
(association for the control of building
material emissions), with much lower
values than the limit values.
The aim of Zherorisk
®
products is to guarantee
the safety of people
through three aspects:
safeguarding the health of
professional operators,
the air quality in homes and all environments, and the
transportation of goods. The Zherorisk
®
research
initiative results in the creation of new families of
innovative products with identical environmentally-
friendly features.
