FSC
Original Parquet SpA in 2011 obtained the FSC® C106780 CERTIFICATION, an international certification specific for the forestry sector and products, wooden and non-wooden, derived from forests.

Numerous checks are also carried out by certified authorities in the forest and in the company in order to verify that the requirements defined by the FSC standards are fully respected. The forest of origin is independently controlled and assessed in accordance with these standards (principles and criteria of good forest management), established and approved by the Forest Stewardship Council a.c. through the participation and consent of interested parties.

The Regulation UNI 11622-1
This standard defines the minimum requirements for surface protection treatments of wood and / or wood-based floors and of coatings similar to them, such as the walkable surfaces of wooden staircase, to be used for indoor environments, as well as the methods and criteria of verification of the performance of a lacquering cycle applied to a standardized support.
Original Parquet has obtained, for its lacquering cycles, the maximum degree of suitability with regard to a surface protection treatment: “High attendance”
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) are chemical substances in liquid or vapour form that are found practically everywhere (furniture, fabrics, tobacco smoke, cleaning products, insecticides, etc.) and that can cause both acute and chronic effects on health. There are more than 300 compounds that fall into this category.
Our parquet is compliant with French VOC regulations, with a Class A+ classification, the highest level of indoor air quality. This means that it emits an extremely small amount of volatile organic compounds (VOC), ensuring healthy and safe environments. Class A+ qualifies our products as low emissive. This characteristic makes our parquet ideal for residential, commercial and public environments, where air quality is essential.
Our parquet is made in full compliance with the Minimum Environmental Criteria (CAM), the guidelines established by the Ministry of the Environment. CAM aims to promote sustainability and reduce the environmental impact in construction.
This means the use of responsible materials, efficient production processes and low emissions, thus contributing to high-quality and environmentally friendly construction projects.
Compliance with CAM is essential in the context of Green Public Procurement (GPP), the green purchasing system envisaged in public tenders, strengthening the sustainability and innovation of your projects.
Our products contribute to obtaining credits for LEED v4.1 certification, one of the main global systems for evaluating the sustainability of buildings.
The low emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds combined with the sustainability aspects of wood make our parquet the ideal choice for projects that aim to meet international environmental standards in order to achieve LEED Certification.

The wooden floors treated with these varnishes enable to have a first precaution in case there is need to reduce bacterial contamination in a short time, especially when it might be very difficult to guarantee a deep cleansing due to the position of the base itself or in public environments where an immediate hygienic action may be necessary. The treatment is particularly suitable for wooden floors in houses or environments with pets.
