Greenguard Meets CHPS Standards

The Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) has recognized the Greenguard Children and Schools product certification program from the Greenguard Environmental Institute (GEI) as a means of improving indoor air quality in school buildings. GEI’s product certification program complies with California’s Department of Health Services Standard Practice for testing chemical emissions from products and therefore meets the requirements set out in the CHPS best practices manuals. The Greenguard Children and Schools program, started in 2005, tests products against emissions criteria that were created with the needs of children in mind.
