A+ Label
French legislation which measures the number of VOCs in products and which awards a grade from A+ (lowest emission) to C (highest emission).
Ü Label – DiBt
Official, independent, German institute which tests the emissions released by industrial products used indoors. This label is mandatory for each product used in public spaces like doctor's practices, hospitals, offices and shops.
0% VOC
An independent laboratory (Ecca) has subjected our products to gaschromatography tests to help determine the VOC level in a product.
FR-certificate BFL-S1
The FR Oil System, our flame-retardant oil system, has been tested in accordance with the following standards: EN 13501-1, EN ISO 11925-2 and EN ISO 9239-1. Achieving a Bfl s1 rating is a first. The B-certificate is the highest classification ever achieved by an oil system. The s1 refers to the extent that smoke development is limited. This is something we consistently strived to achieve during the development phase.
Toy standard EN 71-3
This European guideline regulates the migration of certain hazardous elements like barium, cadmium and mercury etc. in different types of toys. The decision reflects that wood treated with Oil Plus 2C or Hybrid Wood Protector is safe for children. It also means that chopping boards, kitchen worktops, tabletops etc. which have been treated with Oil Plus 2C are also safe for domestic use.
Oil Plus 2C is Fit for Food
If Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C (A+B) is used on a wooden surface that is in itself food safe, then the combination of the wood and our Oil Plus 2C is also safe and therefore ‘fit for food’, in regulation with EC n° 1935/2004. This declaration is the result of an official test, done by Eurofins, an official independent testing institute.
