Certification and proof.

EMICODE

EC1PLUS — the strictest class in the EMICODE system — declared 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).

Environmental Product Declaration

Two EPDs are verified under ISO 14025 / EN 15804.

VOC- and APEO-free

Declared for Eco Sil, Eco Topcoat Mat 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.

RISE type-approval

Certificate C900385, held for a named manufacturing site, covers Eco All In One for potable-water contact per DVGW W347.

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 of Performance

Signed, per product, under DIN EN 13813 / EN 1504 as applicable. Published on each product’s Systems page.

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.

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

Independent lab results — distinct from the certifications above.
