The GOLD standard combines all relevant European regulations and voluntary labels which measure the effect of products on indoor air quality - combining the most stringent requirements in any EU country into one label. This makes Indoor Air Comfort GOLD the most ambitious label for low-emissions in the whole of Europe.

ISOVER G3 Touch uses new technology to manufacture its next generation mineral wool insulation to deliver superior environmental sustainability.
“The Gold Certificate means that ISOVER mineral wool is certified as an outstanding material in terms of Indoor Air Quality emissions regulations” Dr. Roland Augustin, Director Certification Chemical Safety, Eurofins Hamburg.
Brian Dolan ISOVER Ireland Managing Director said of this achievement. "The Eurofins certification is independent verification of our environmental credentials and recognises ISOVER’s commitment to providing sustainable insulation solutions to all our customers. We are delighted that the new products we tested have met such a high standard”.
Considering the need for Ireland to build more low energy buildings, which necessitate high levels of insulation and excellent airtightness, it is ever more important to consider the effect of products and systems used on the indoor air quality of these buildings.
The Eurofins award was made possible following the introduction of the latest in mineral wool manufacturing technology by ISOVER, called G3. “This revolutionary technology allows us to introduce more natural ingredients to our processes thus ISOVER insulation will be even better than before in environmental terms”.
Last September ISOVER introduced G3 Touch for their Attic Insulation range and from September G3 Touch will be extended to all their insulation products meaning all ISOVER insulation will come with 3 guarantees.
“The Eurofins Indoor Air Comfort Gold includes more than simply testing. These programs include an internal quality program at the production site for ensuring continuous manufacture of low-emitting products, on-site audits, re-testing and certification - all together giving a very high level of reliability in the statement on indoor air quality”. Dr. Augustin
