VOC Testing for Furniture

While office workers are tensed with workloads in their daily routines, they also succumb to potentially high health risks. Office furniture, including desks, chairs and cabinets may emit various kinds of volatile organic compounds (VOC) which impinge on indoor air quality of workplace. Common health symptoms related to VOC include eye discomfort, fever, dryness, headache, tiredness, sore discomfort, etc.

The impact of pollution in office environment may be even more destructive than air, water and noise pollution. It will inadvertently dampen staff morale and motivation, thus minimizing work efficiency and quality. In view of this, SGS offers VOC testing to furniture and components (e.g. Indoor air quality testing) to make the office a safer place for work.
