Choosing the right materials is a critical step. To assist in the process, CRI has created Green Label Plus for carpet, adhesives, and cushion to raise the bar on lowering emissions. Green Label Plus is a voluntary, industry testing program for carpet, adhesive and cushion products that establish the highest standard for indoor air quality IAQ ever set by the carpet industry. The Carpet and Rug Institute CRI created Green Label Plus to identify carpets, adhesives, and cushions that are tested by an independent, certified laboratory and meet stringent criteria for low chemical emissions.
The carpet industry took the initiative to enhance its GreenLabel program for carpet, adhesives and cushion to meet testing protocols used by the Collaborative for HighPerformance Schools CHPS. To receive Green Label Plus certification, carpet, adhesive and cushion products must undergo a rigorous testing process.
Emissions are measured for a range of chemicals and testing is administered by an independent laboratory. All testing evaluates carpet against the 35 compounds listed on the California version 1. Each product category also includes additional compounds for certification, six for carpet, two for carpet, and seven for adhesive. Contact Us. Notice: JavaScript is required for this content.

Consumers : SOA helps consumers make better purchasing decisions by ensuring that the products they choose will work. Consumers get a healthier environment in which to live and work — and a maximum return on their carpet investment.
Carpet Cleaning Product Manufacturers : By using the test results to see product strengths and weaknesses, manufacturers get a better idea of what they need to improve.
That leads to more effective products going to market. For their efforts, the manufacturers gain the added credibility of the Seal of Approval label on their products. The certification differentiates them against the competition. It also helps them do their jobs better, which means more satisfied customers, more repeat business, and better word of mouth for their business. The policy, procedure, and operations of the program are each outlined in the manual.
The SOA Program is available for download at the end of this section. Just download the appropriate information packet from the links to the right. After performance testing is completed, certified products solutions excluded are eligible to display the Space Foundation seal in addition to the CRI Seal of Approval.
