GreenScreen Certified

Chemicals intentionally added to the product were hazard-assessed against GreenScreen benchmark criteria by the program, with chemicals of highest concern (including all intentionally added PFAS) excluded; Bronze, Silver, and Gold apply progressively stricter assessment depth and exclusions per the product-category standard.

• A claim that the product is non-toxic or hazard-free — GreenScreen assesses and benchmarks hazards; it does not eliminate them all.
• Risk or exposure conclusions — hazard assessment says what a chemical could do, not what users are actually exposed to.
• VOC emissions performance, carbon footprint, recycled content, or any circularity attribute.
• A bare 'PFAS free' marketing claim made without naming the certification level and product scope.

• Claims PFAS Free →

  high risk

Expiry matters — check the certificate is current.

Level names and exclusion thresholds are defined per product-category standard (e.g. Furniture & Fabrics, Cleaners & Degreasers) — always record which standard and version the certificate was issued under.

Hazard is not risk: a benchmarked hazard assessment does not measure exposure in use.

PFAS exclusion applies to intentionally added PFAS per the standard's thresholds; verify the standard version before repeating a PFAS-free claim.
