GS-37 STANDARD
Cleaning products are vital for a healthy and aesthetically pleasing indoor environment but may harm human and environmental health. Many chemicals found in these products can be hazardous to human and aquatic life, and both manufacturers and users may be exposed to harmful chemicals. These products often contain volatile organic compounds (VOC's) which are chemicals that can have short and long-term health effects and contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone pollution.
Green Seal offers the GS-37 Standard as a comprehensive benchmark for sustainable cleaning products for industrial and institutional use, and identifying products that are sustainability leaders in the industry.
The GS-37 standard protects water and air quality, human health, and the environment by requiring products to be sold in concentrated form, prohibiting harmful chemicals, specifying sustainable packaging, and limiting VOC content. These criteria are intended to protect the health of building occupants and those using the product, as well as lower the impact of the product on the environment.
