Indoor air quality is a fundamental factor for the well-being and healthiness of residential and work spaces. Berti wood floors undergo specific testing for VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions, substances that can be released by building materials in enclosed environments.

To ensure maximum reliability of results, emissions are measured through laboratory tests in climate chambers according to international ISO 16000 standards, the reference standard for evaluating volatile organic compound emissions in construction products.

VOC Testing According to ISO 16000 – CATAS Laboratory

The VOC emissions of the floors were analyzed by the independent laboratory CATAS, one of the leading European centers specializing in testing for the wood and furniture sector.

The test is performed according to the UNI EN ISO 16000 standard, which precisely defines:

test conditions in climate chambers
controlled temperature and humidity
air exchange rates
analytical methods for VOC detection

This methodology allows for scientifically sound and repeatable measurement of emissions released by the product after specific time intervals, providing objective data that is internationally comparable.

Indoor Air Comfort Certification – Eurofins

The test results were also verified by the international laboratory Eurofins, a leading European body for indoor air quality certification.

The product meets the requirements of the Indoor Air Comfort mark, a European-recognized certification that attests compliance with the main VOC emission limits required by international regulations and protocols for sustainable construction.

This certification scheme integrates the criteria required by various environmental standards used in sustainable architecture and construction projects.

The combination of accredited laboratory testing and independent VOC certification represents a concrete guarantee of product quality.

Berti wood floors thus contribute to maintaining low emissions of volatile substances in indoor environments, promoting healthier and more comfortable living spaces and meeting the needs of designers, architects, and end users who are attentive to indoor air quality.
