The Green Seal Building Product Certification Standard

Every day, our seal makes it simple for buyers to identify and choose safer, more sustainable products. Green Seal-certified building restoration products meet our standards for:

Low-VOCs
Safer chemicals
Environmentally preferable packaging
Uncompromising performance

Relevant product types can be certified under our Standards for Paints, Coatings, Stains and Sealers (GS-11), Adhesives for Commercial Use (GS-36), and Floor Care Products (GS-40).

Certified Building Restoration Products Make a Difference

Each gallon of Green Seal-certified paint protects buyers from 757 grams of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), protecting homes from harmful chemicals and preserving local air quality.
