A Simple Guide to Braag's Flooring Certifications

Key Takeaways：Braag's Flooring certifications determine indoor air quality and home safety. Braag flooring holds five globally recognized low-emission and eco-friendly certifications, ensuring low VOC release, long-term stable air safety, and full lifecycle environmental compliance for families, kids, and pets.

Most homeowners focus on flooring color, texture and durability while overlooking indoor air quality. Since children, pets and family members stay close to the floor for long hours every day, non-toxic, low-emission flooring is essential for healthy living. Reliable third-party certifications offer transparent, verified proof of safe indoor materials, avoiding invisible chemical risks at home.

FloorScore (Braag's Flooring Certification)

FloorScore is the mainstream global safety standard for hard-surface flooring. It requires independent laboratory testing to control formaldehyde and common volatile chemical emissions. Certified flooring maintains stable clean air performance for ordinary residential spaces, suitable for daily family living environments.

GREENGUARD Gold

GREENGUARD Gold is one of the strictest global emission standards, originally created for schools and medical environments with high hygiene requirements. It screens thousands of volatile substances with extremely low limit values. It provides extra safety protection for sensitive groups, including pregnant women, newborns, allergy-prone people and indoor pets.

Indoor Air Comfort Gold

Indoor Air Comfort Gold is the top European indoor air qualification. It integrates the strictest regulations across European countries and includes regular unannounced factory spot checks. Continuous production supervision ensures consistent material safety, avoiding quality inconsistency after batch testing.

French A Plus VOC Rating

French A+ is the highest domestic emission rating for building materials in France. Products pass a complete 28-day continuous simulation test to verify long-term chemical release performance. It guarantees near-zero indoor harmful volatile concentration for long-term home comfort and safety.

EPD

The EPD environmental declaration is an independent third-party audit certificate. It records the full life cycle environmental data of flooring, including raw material consumption and carbon output. It provides objective and traceable sustainability proof for environmentally friendly home renovation and green design.
