Global GreenTag International Awards Product Health Declaration License to BRE for UK and Western Europe Construction Products
BRE – the UK based, international, multi-disciplinary building science centre - has launched a new service with the licence to now deliver the Global GreenTag Product Health Declaration™ or GreenTag PhD™ program for construction products in the UK and Western Europe.
Global GreenTag's PhD™ is a world first material health & ingredient transparency reporting service for green building and interiors products.
The Global GreenTag PhD assessment and reporting process delivers easily understood information relating to the entire life cycle of a construction product so that specifiers can confidently make informed materials and product selections.
According to Global GreenTag's CEO and Program Director, David Baggs "GreenTag PhDs use world's best practice chemical hazards research (including from the EU REACH and Globally Harmonised Systems), risk assessment and audit processes, all peer reviewed by Consultant Toxicologist, to determine and transparently report the health impacts of products (if any) on both workers and end users."
Nigel Jones, Team Leader – Sustainable Products at BRE said 'This is a unique tool the industry can use to drive forward the healthy and high performance buildings agenda for the benefit of people – we are pleased to provide this service to our customers '.
The new Global GreenTag PhD service complements BRE's international capabilities with services that are recognised in the International WELL™ Building Standard (WELL) Standard and compliant with credit requirements in the LEED® v4.0 rating tool globally with key roles in ingredient hazard assessment and enabling of product health optimisation.
In addition to the simple reporting format, Global GreenTag PhDs also provide the product with a HeathRATE™ rating of the product with graphic Tags showing the BronzeHEALTH™, SilverHEALTH™, GoldHEALTH™ and PlatinumHEALTH™ rating outcomes, for one-glance understanding of 'in use' product health.
