"We are thrilled to partner with such an esteemed and quality-driven organization as TUV Rheinland LGA," said Henning Bloech, GEI's Executive Director. "GREENGUARD Certification is based on the highest data quality and analysis requiring chemical evaluations at extremely low levels. Very few laboratories worldwide are able to meet our standards. With Air Quality Sciences and now TUV Rheinland LGA as GREENGUARD Program Technical Partners, we are fortunate to work with two of the leading organizations in this field."
LGA participates in third-party proficiency and round-robin testing with Air Quality Sciences, GEI's long standing technical partner, to ensure comparable test results, data quality and analysis. In addition to demonstrated proficiency, GEI requires established quality programs such as ISO 17025 from its certification partners as well as established technical and scientific expertise. This high level of accuracy and repeatability is important in assessing product emissions for their human health impact.
"GREENGUARD Certification is becoming increasingly important in the markets we operate," commented Michael Jungnitsch, Managing Director for TUV Rheinland LGA. "Becoming a GREENGUARD Program Technical Partner is a testament to the high quality standards under which TUV Rheinland LGA operates. We are excited to work with GEI and help our customers create value through GREENGUARD Certification."
