FIRST IN CATEGORY FOR CONSTRUCTION ADHESIVES AND SEALANTS TO RECEIVE PLATINUMHEALTH™ HEALTHRATE™ CERTIFICATION UNDER GLOBAL GREENTAG'S PHD™
You have low-VOC paint on the walls, sustainable flooring underfoot, and eco-certified furniture throughout the room — but what about the products that hold everything together? The adhesives and sealants.
Over the past few decades, research has shown that the toxicity of building materials can have a very real impact on human health. We understand that true sustainability goes deeper than what meets the eye and believe that safer, smarter adhesives and sealants shouldn’t be an exception - resulting in taking steps to make products safer and more environmentally friendly.

WHAT THIS MEANS IN PRACTICE?
Global GreenTag certification gives customers confidence that Tec7 sealants and adhesives meet recognised environmental and health standards. It means the products are designed to support healthier indoor environments, with low VOC levels and compliance with relevant environmental and safety requirements, while still delivering high-performance bonding and sealing solutions.
For resellers, specifiers and end users, this provides peace of mind when selecting products for green building and environmentally conscious projects. Customers tell us that using certified products like Tec7 helps them align with sustainability goals, support healthier spaces, and work with manufacturers that share a commitment to responsible building practices and circular economy outcomes. Combined with ease of application and strong performance, Tec7 products make it easier to achieve both practical and environmental objectives on modern building projects.

DECLARATION – MARINE TESTED – TEC7
TEC7 has been rigorously evaluated for performance in marine environments through internationally recognised test methods, including ISO 9227 (salt spray resistance), ISO 2812-2 (seawater exposure), and ASTM C961-15 (bonding strength in wet conditions). Based on these results, Novatech International confirms that TEC7 performs reliably in marine applications. When allowed intermittent drying, TEC7 provides effective protection to underlying materials and maintains strong adhesion. For applications involving prolonged or permanent immersion, users should apply a suitable safety margin to compensate for the natural reduction in bond strength over time.
EC 1935/2004
EU Regulation 1935/2004 covers all food contact materials and articles which are intended to come into contact with food. The regulation ensures that food contact materials do not threaten human health, or change the composition, odor, or taste of the food product.
EC1+
EC1 Plus EMICODE is an eco-label and classification system that certifies flooring installation products, adhesives, and building materials based on their emissions. It follows standards like DIN EN ISO 16000-1, CEN/TS 16516, and ISO/TC 146 on air quality. Products bearing the EMICODE label are certified as having very low emissions, adhering to the strictest limits, and are continuously monitored by independent inspection bodies. This ensures clean indoor air and promotes a healthy environment.
Greentag PHD Platinum
The Product Health Declaration (PHD) certificate is similar to HPD (Health Product Declaration) and a comprehensive tool designed to provide transparent, detailed information about the health impacts of products, particularly in the green building industry. This certification is crucial for ensuring that products meet specific health and environmental standards, offering a benchmark for safety and sustainability. Currently, a Global GreenTag PHD has formal WELLTM Building Standard Equivalencies recognised globally for core product- related Features and the tool is also compliant with the LEED® program, used in 168 countries that has significantly upgraded its criteria for materials transparency and optimisation.
Eurofins Gold
The Indoor Air Comfort and Indoor Air
Comfort GOLD certifications provide
strong assurance that a product meets
stringent low-emission standards.
These certifications highlight a brand's
commitment to quality and its role in
promoting a healthy indoor
environment. The "Indoor Air Comfort
GOLD - certified product" represents
the highest level of certification,
indicating that the product not only
meets mandatory low-emission
requirements but also aligns with the
voluntary standards set by leading
ecolabels and sustainable building
certifications in the EU. As a result,
these certified products are considered
top-tier in terms of low emissions,
contributing to excellent indoor air
quality.
Indoor air emissions A+
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a group of substances from various chemical classes that readily evaporate at room temperature. Examples include benzene, styrene, toluene, trichloroethylene, as well as highly volatile substances like formaldehyde and acetaldehyde. In countries such as France, construction, decoration, and furnishing products are classified under the “VOC Emissions dans l'air intérieur” label, based on VOC emissions tests. This label rates products on their emissions of volatile substances, which may pose a toxic risk when inhaled indoors. The scale ranges from A+ (very low emissions) to C (high emissions).
ISEGA
ISEGA certification refers to products that meet the standards set by the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (Bundesinstitut für Risikobewertung), which focuses on ensuring consumer safety and product quality. This certification is particularly relevant for products that come into contact with food, assessing potential risks to human health. Based on these evaluations, the product’s quality is determined. Similar to other environmental labels and certifications, ISEGA aims to provide clear and reliable information to consumers regarding product safety.
Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
Novatech International NV, as a member of FEICA (the Association of the European Adhesive and Sealant Industry), is authorised to use the FEICA model Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for polyurethane or silane-modified products in Group 1. These model EPDs are independently verified by the Institut Bauen und Umwelt (IBU) and published on the ECO Platform. TEC7, Trans Clear and X-Tack have been reviewed against this model EPD and confirmed to be fully compatible. This means the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data and environmental information contained in the FEICA model EPD are applicable to TEC7 and may be used in building and sustainability assessments.
IM1
M1 is a classification system for
building materials focused on
emissions. Materials that are M1-
certified release very low levels of
compounds into indoor environments.
The purpose of the M1 classification is
to encourage the production and use of
building materials and furniture with
minimal emissions. This system sets
specific limits for the release of volatile
organic compounds (VOCs),
formaldehyde, and ammonia.
Additionally, M1 evaluates the
acceptability of the material’s odor.
