Eco-devis

Eco-devis is the Swiss standard for the ecological specification of building products. Eco-devis examines materials and building services of comparable functionality with regard to their environmental impact and designates these accordingly. It aims to ensure the use of sustainable building materials in public buildings in Switzerland. Armstrong’s DLW Linoleum floor coverings and various homo- genenous DLW Vinyl coverings can be used to meet this requirement.

REACH

As stipulated in the EU REACH regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals), as of 1 December 2008, only chemicals that have been pre-registered in advance at the newly created European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) in Helsinki may be circulated in the EU countries. In our own interests and to ensure a high degree of product safety, Armstrong is also intensively working with the implementation of REACH and the consequent requirements. As such, we have also requested written confirmation from our suppliers that all of the raw materials and products bought by us comply with the REACH regulation.

BASTA



In 2003 the „Swedish Environmental Research Institute“ confederate with leading companies of the construction industry for launching the BASTA system. The target of this system is to identify and eliminate highly toxic and dangerous chemical substances in building products. Armstrong registered its flooring products in the BASTA initiative as it is one of our main targets to offer only products which are safe for humans and the environment.
