How GREENGUARD® Certification Works
Products with GREENGUARD® certification are independently tested by UL Solutions for chemical emissions that can affect indoor air quality. Testing evaluates VOC emissions under strict standards designed to help create healthier indoor environments.
Benefits of Low-Emission Window Treatments
Low-emission window treatments are designed to help reduce indoor exposure to airborne chemicals commonly known as VOCs (volatile organic compounds). Many homeowners choose low VOC window shades to support healthier indoor air quality, especially in bedrooms, nurseries, and frequently used living spaces.

Are GREENGUARD® Shades Safe for Nurseries?
GREENGUARD® certified shades are often selected for nurseries and children's rooms because certified materials are tested for low chemical emissions. Parents looking for healthier window treatments frequently choose products designed to support better indoor air quality for growing families.
GREENGUARD® and OEKO-TEX® are two of the most recognized certifications for
home furnishings, but they evaluate different aspects of a product.
GREENGUARD® Certification focuses on indoor air quality by
testing products for low chemical emissions (VOC emissions), making it a
popular choice for homes, schools, healthcare facilities, and other indoor
environments.
OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 focuses on the textile materials
themselves, testing certified fabrics for a wide range of harmful
substances. It is commonly found on fabrics used in window treatments,
bedding, clothing, and other textile products.
Rather than competing certifications, GREENGUARD® and OEKO-TEX® complement
one another by evaluating different characteristics of a product. Many
homeowners look for one or both certifications when selecting window
treatments for bedrooms, nurseries, family rooms, and other frequently
occupied spaces.
No. GreenGuard® certification means low VOCs emissions or volatile organic compounds within strict limits. It does not claim “zero VOC” or “chemical-free.”
Is GreenGuard® the same as eco-friendly blinds?
GreenGuard® focuses on indoor air quality. While many certified products are also eco-friendly window treatments, the certification itself is about low chemical emissions for a healthy home.
What is the difference between GREENGUARD® and GREENGUARD Gold®?
GREENGUARD® certification verifies products meet low chemical emission standards for indoor air quality. GREENGUARD Gold® includes stricter limits and is commonly recommended for sensitive environments such as schools, healthcare facilities, and nurseries.
Are GREENGUARD® certified blinds good for people with allergies?
GREENGUARD® certified products are tested for low chemical emissions that can affect indoor air quality. Many homeowners choose certified blinds and shades as part of a cleaner indoor environment for allergy-sensitive spaces.
