Event Description
This session explains the role of independent sustainability certifications in the specification of paints and coatings for building projects, with a focus on Global Green Tag certifications used by Dulux. It explores how certifications such as Green Tag and Product Health Declarations support healthier indoor environments, responsible material selection, Green Star compliance, and transparency in sustainable building practices.
Key Learning Outcomes
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Define an ecolabel; distinguish verification, certification and declaration; explain transparency and declaration clearance.
- Identify ISO standards for environmental claims/labels: ISO 14024 (T1), ISO 14021 (T2), ISO 14025 (T3), ISO 17067 (T5).
- Describe a Product Health Declaration: interprets GHS toxicity data; communicates risk/mitigation; addresses “healthiness in use”.
- State requirement for a Global GreenTag Product Health Declaration™: 100% transparency to 100 ppm (ingredient toxicity info).
- Explain HealthRATE™ as a standalone end-user “healthiness in use” rating.
- List Global GreenTagCert™ qualifications: ACCC Approved Certification Mark; ISO 9001; ISO 14024; ISO 17065; verified/certified by DNV.
- Summarise how GreenTag links choices to Green Star®, WELL™ and LEED® credits to support specification, reduce swap-outs and save time.
- Differentiate GreenRate™ tiers A/B/C; Level A gets maximum Green Star recognition.
- Apply RPF: ≥50% by cost with RPV ≥10; where RPV applies (Green Star Buildings v1; Green Star Design & As Built; Homestar v5).
