What is the relationship between the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute and its scientific partners?
The GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI) is an industry independent, not-for-profit organization that offers third-party certification. Its scientific partners, who are experts in indoor air quality, toxicology, testing, building studies and product manufacturing, assist in program development of standards and methodologies, and provide testing and review. Presently, there are three scientific partners, including Air Quality Sciences, Inc. (United States), Bureau VERITAS Consumer Product Services (United States) and TÜV Rheinland LGA (Germany). Administration and monitoring of the GREENGUARD Certification Program remains solely with GEI.
