Expert report no. 3020 - 1092 1. Product description For the purpose of awarding the seal of approval, the company has instructed us to subject its products to building biology follow-up testing based on follow-up testing conducted in 2017 (expert report no. 3018 - 991). The products were collected from the customer on 07 October 2019 by official supervision of Instytut Technologii Drewna, Poznan. IBR received the original sampling protocols for review.
Expert report no. 3020 - 1092 detailed specifications, please contact the manufacturer. The required safety data sheets were submitted to us for review. There are no issues with respect to safe disposal. There are no hazardous components to be disclosed. 2. Test results 2.1 Radioactivity Natural radiation exposure is composed of cosmic and terrestrial radiation. Humans are mainly subject to internal exposure due to radon gas.

Expert report no. 3020 - 1092 2.3 Solvent and odoriferous VOC substance testing With an increasing presence of chemical substances at our workplaces and in everyday life, the ambient air quality in indoor environment has deteriorated continually. For workplaces, TLV values (threshold limit values) reflecting the concentration of harmful substances have been defined.

Expert report no. 3020 - 1092 2.4 French VOC ordinance In order to be brought to market in France, all building products as well as decorative elements and furnishings have to be identified with an emission class since January 2012 (A+, A, B, C) based on VOC emission testing according to the ISO 16000 series of standards. For products that were already available in the French market prior to January 2012, this rule only becomes mandatory starting in September of 2013.
