CDPH Standard based ISO 17065 accredited Low VOC Certification demonstrates that products are low emitting and contribute to healthier indoor environments. Our independent, third-party certification provides verifiable proof that products — ranging from furniture and flooring to adhesives and coatings — have been tested by an accredited laboratory and found to conform to established VOC emission standards.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are chemical compounds that readily vaporise at room temperature. They are emitted from thousands of everyday products — paints, adhesives, sealants, flooring, furniture, and cleaning agents. Sustained exposure to VOCs can adversely affect indoor air quality and human health, making independent certification a critical assurance for manufacturers, specifiers, and end users alike.

Sustainable Stewardship Private Limited offers India's leading independent Low VOC Certification programme, backed by ISO/IEC 17065 accreditation and aligned with globally recognised green building standards, including LEED, WELL, BREEAM, and ASHRAE 189.1.
