Certification

With the Greenguard certified products, GRASMERINO now promises to improve the quality of your life.
Greenguard certification is a third party certification program that evaluates whether the product is suitable and safe for the environment and human use or not. The program and certification aims at encouraging manufacturers to build better, safer products and to uphold environmental standards in product development, manufacturing and distribution. This program is developed by the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute, U.S.

The Furniture Industry Research Association (FIRA) research and development programmes feed into British, European and international standards for performance and testing; FIRA experts represent the UK on several standards committees. This enables its furniture testing laboratory to apply internationally recognised techniques when testing components, materials and finished products to ascertain performance safety and durability. International recognition also means FIRA testing certificates are accepted worldwide.

The test was conducted in accordance with the ASTM International fire test response standard E 84–10, Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials, sometimes referred to as the Steiner tunnel test. This test is applicable to exposed surfaces such as walls and ceilings. The test is conducted with the specimen in the ceiling position with the surface to be evaluated exposed face down to the ignition source. The ASTM E 84 test method is the technical equivalent of NFPA No. 255 and UL No. 723.

This standard is used to measure and describe the response of materials, products, or assemblies to heat and flame under controlled conditions, but does not by itself incorporate all factors required for fire–hazard or fire–risk assessment of materials, products, or assemblies under actual fire conditions.
