Claims Precautionary List Free (Unverified)

Chemical exclusion

The manufacturer states the product contains none of the chemicals of concern on the Perkins&Will Precautionary List, a design-firm-published reference list of substances to avoid in the built environment. Perkins&Will operates no certification or verification programme for this claim — it is a screening statement against a list that is periodically revised.

You might see it written as: Precautionary List Free · Perkins&Will Precautionary List Free · Perkins and Will Precautionary List · free of Precautionary List chemicals · Precautionary List compliant

Speaks to: Human health · Ecosystem health

This entry is in review — facts are authored but not yet verified against current source documentation.

High greenwash risk

Often stated without the evidence to back it up — verify before specifying.

The Precautionary List and the LBC Red List are different lists maintained by different organizations — being free of one does not imply being free of the other.

Because Perkins&Will runs no verification programme, this family can never exceed manufacturer-declared authority without independent screening evidence.

What backs it up

  • Chemical Exclusion Statement →

    Must be at least: Manufacturer declared

    Check it states: List Version, Product Scope, Statement Date, Screening Threshold

    The Precautionary List is revised over time — a statement is only meaningful against a named list version and date.

    No issuing body verifies this claim; it carries manufacturer-declared authority at best.

  • Health Product Declaration →

    Must be at least: Manufacturer declared

    Check it states: Hpd Version, Product Scope, Disclosure Threshold, Publication Date

    An HPD screened against the Precautionary List is stronger than a bare statement, but disclosure below the stated threshold is still self-reported unless third-party verified.

    Confirm the HPD's screening actually references the Precautionary List, not only the LBC Red List.
