Declare

Declare is a voluntary self-disclosure product labelling program that promotes healthy building materials through product transparency and ingredient disclosure. Headed by the International Living Future Institute (ILFI), Declare is linked to the Living Building Challenge (LBC) Red List Imperative.

A Declare product label discloses all product ingredients and added substances to 100 parts per million (ppm). A products compliance to the Red List Imperative are represented by the following Declaration Statuses:

1. LBC Red List Free, which means that the product is free of all red list ingredients; 
2. LBC Red List Approved, which means that the product meets the imperative requirements with one or more program exceptions and may contain some Red List chemicals;
3. Declared, which means that the product is not compliant with the Red List or its temporary exceptions.

The LBC Red List, developed by the International Living Future Institute (ILFI), designates chemicals that may not be included in materials used in construction that seeks to meet the criteria of the Living Building Challenge (LBC). 

ROCKWOOL AFB^®evo is LBC Red List Free Declared.
