GREEN SEAL™ ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARD FOR PAINTS AND COATINGS - GS-11
The Green Seal Environmental Standard for Paints and Coatings GS-11, establishes environmental requirements for paints and coatings. The standard includes wall, anti-corrosive, and reflective coatings, floor paints and primers and undercoats. The standard does not include stains, clear finishes, recycled (consolidated or reprocessed) latex paint, specialty (industrial, marine or automotive) coatings, or paint sold in aerosol cans.
The standard includes product performance requirements and environmental and health requirements such as reduced use of hazardous substances and requires low volatile organic compound (VOC) content. The standard can serve as a tool to help companies begin to take action to improve their products and is available for Green Seal certification.
