Certification and proof.
Full technical data sheets for each product are on the Systems pages.
EMICODE
EC1PLUS — the strictest class in the EMICODE system — licensed per product across most of the range; Eco Topcoat Mono carries EC2. This measures how little a product off-gasses into the air after installation: EC1PLUS means very low VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions, verified in an emission chamber test rather than claimed. It’s a specification requirement on most institutional and healthcare projects, and it’s about indoor air quality specifically — a separate question from embodied carbon (see Circular content and carbon reduction, below).
EPD
Environmental Product Declaration
Two EPDs are verified under ISO 14025 / EN 15804.
Eco Rapid, Eco Rapid Indu, Eco Rapid Deco, Eco Terrazzo Binder, Eco Dual, Eco Screed, Eco Mortar
EPD verifiedCOMPOSITION
VOC- and APEO-free
Declared for Eco Sil and Eco Flex All In One. Relevant where an installer or occupant’s direct exposure during application is a specified concern, such as occupied buildings or food-contact areas.
TYPE-APPROVAL
RISE type-approval
Certificate C900385, held for a named manufacturing site, covers Eco All In One for potable-water contact per DVGW W347.
WATER CONTACT
Drinking-water and pool approval
Eco Sil carries KTW (drinking water) and KSW (pool) approval; Eco All In One carries DVGW W270 and W347. Why it matters: a damaged silicate surface doesn’t release calcium into surrounding water, unlike cement-based systems — relevant for drinking-water and process-water projects.
DECLARATION
Declaration of Performance
Signed, per product, under DIN EN 13813 / EN 1504 as applicable. Published on each product’s Systems page.
SCHEMES
BREEAM / DGNB / LEED contribution
Not a certification the floor itself holds — a contribution to specific credits (emissions, indoor air quality, responsible sourcing, material reuse, and the avoided impact of keeping the existing substrate rather than demolishing it), written per project since the applicable credits depend on the scheme version, the assessor, and the exact build-up specified.
DGNB criteria mapping
Criterion references below follow DGNB New Construction Buildings, Germany, version 2023. Danish and other national schemes can use different requirements and numbering; confirm the country, scheme and version before assessing compliance.
Material selection and local environmental impact
Product-specific safety data sheets, ingredient declarations and applicable emissions certificates support the material assessment. Check the relevant product category and every layer of the specified build-up.
Indoor air quality
EMICODE licences provide product-level emissions evidence. They do not replace the completed building's indoor-air measurements or establish compliance on their own.
Building life-cycle assessment
The two verified EPDs provide environmental data for the products named in each declaration. Use the applicable EPD, quantities and service-life assumptions in the project's building LCA; an EPD does not award credits by itself.
Product-specific documents and consultant review are required; no project credits or material quality level are guaranteed.
Test reports →METHODOLOGY
Circular content and carbon reduction methodology
The binder is silicon dioxide activated from industrial byproducts — GGBS from steel production and fly ash from coal combustion — rather than freshly extracted raw material. That byproduct share is what the 90% circular figure counts: mass of the cured system that comes from reused streams, measured on the formula, not on a project.
Carbon reduction is calculated against Portland-cement and resin systems delivering the same build-up and thickness. Because the systems are applied directly over an existing concrete, ceramic, or screed substrate — minimum thickness varies by product and project — the demolition and disposal of the old floor drops out of the comparison as well. Measured this way, the reduction is 95%.
TEST REPORTS
Test reports
Independent lab results — distinct from the certifications above.
Abrasion resistance
Tested independently by IAB Weimar (DIN EN 13892-3 / DIN EN 13813, Böhme method):
| System | Result |
|---|---|
| Eco Rapid | Abrasion class A9 |
| Eco Rapid (with SiC aggregate) | Abrasion class A6 |
| Eco Rapid Indu | Abrasion class A6 |
Chemical resistance
Tested against roughly 100 individual reagents and concentrations. As one real case: independently tested against a mixture of lactic and acetic acid at pH 3 for 70 days — the exposure profile used for sewer and agricultural environments — Eco Sil retained 98% of its compressive strength versus 81% for a commercially available sewer mortar tested under the same conditions, and showed no measurable carbonation after prolonged indoor exposure, where the comparison mortar did.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) / volume resistivity
Tested per DIN EN 1081 and evaluated against two thresholds: BGR 132 (occupational safety, requires <100 MΩ) and DIN EN 61340-5-1 (requires <1000 MΩ). Scoped per product, not range-wide:
| System | Thresholds met |
|---|---|
| Eco Sil | Both thresholds — suitable for environments with the stricter static-safety requirement (electronics, cleanroom-adjacent, pharmaceutical) |
| Eco Rapid | DIN EN 61340-5-1 only |
| Eco Resist | DIN EN 61340-5-1 only |
| Eco Rapid + Eco Hydro Sil | DIN EN 61340-5-1 only |
Fire — critical radiant flux
| System | Result |
|---|---|
| Eco Primer + Eco Rapid Deco + Eco Floor Protect | ASTM E648 (2025) · ≥ 1.1 W/cm² · Class I (NFPA 101) |
No flame spread at the test's maximum heat flux. Tested by Centexbel, accredited lab, October 2026.
