Jotun normally uses the VOC content limits of SIRIM QAS International Sdn Bhd Eco Label and Singapore Environment Council certificates. Both having more or less same test criteria, different by the acceptance limitation only.

GBI focuses on the VOC content as it’s contribute to Indoor air quality and even accept LEED compliant products.
