Danogips is registered with the voluntary labelling scheme Dansk Indeklima Mærkning, DIM (Danish Indoor Climate Labelling). DIM is the first labelling scheme to deal with construction materials in the service phase. The purpose of indoor climate labelling is to improve the indoor climate in buildings. The areas covered by the indoor climate label are reviewed below.
Degasification
Declaration with a time value in days, termed the ”declared indoor climate value”. The time value is determined on the basis of the time it takes the most slowly degased individual substance to drop below the substance’s smell and irritation threshold.
Particulate discharge
Classification of the product based on the release of particles determined from sedimentable dust consisting of particles (including fibres) in the first part of the product’s lifetime. According to the standard, Danogips’ products rank in the best class, Certificate no. DK-008, untreated products. The declared indoor climate value has been established as 10 days, and particulate discharge classified as low. Certificate no. DK-007, finished products. The declared indoor climate value has been established as 10 days, and particulate discharge classified as low.
Transport and storage
One prerequisite for qualifying for Danish indoor climate labelling is also that products are transported, stored and installed in accordance with special instructions. The labelling indicates that the article must be
- positioned on a level base
- stored indoors
- protected from direct moisture
- protected from impact and shock
- opened without the use of tools
- stored at humidities of less than 70% RH
