GREENGUARD joins UL Environmental, identity evolves

Following its acquisition by UL, GREENGUARD Environmental Institute will change its name to UL Environmental, and institute a new logo. The effect on Smith System products and testing will be negligible because testing procedures will remain the same and Smith System will continue to submit products for testing. The biggest change in the relationship will be in the name of our certification. What was called “GREENGUARD for Children and Schools Certification” has become “GREENGUARD GOLD Certification.” The certification can be explained by this criteria statement, from UL Environmental, “GREENGUARD Certified products are certified to GREENGUARD standards for low chemical emissions into indoor air during product usage.
