Requirements & Verification
Evidence Requirements
Conformity with Danish Indoor Climate Label's standard is verified by our own organization (second party).
Prerequisites
Assessment Process
Conformity with the Danish Indoor Climate Label standard is verified by the issuing organization (second-party verification). Products undergo emissions testing in accredited laboratory conditions to measure volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other indoor air quality parameters. Manufacturers submit product samples and technical documentation for evaluation against the label's criteria.
Consider Alternatives If...
If your product category is not covered by the label's testing scope, or if you are seeking a broader environmental/sustainability certification (e.g., covering carbon footprint or lifecycle impacts), a more comprehensive eco-label may be more appropriate. Companies primarily targeting markets outside Europe may find other regional IAQ certifications more recognized.
