Low VOC Certificates

Volatile Organic Compounds

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) can be generally defined as any organic compound that participates in atmospheric photochemical reactions.   

The Green Building Council of Australia’s (GBCA) Green Star Rating Tools encourages product suppliers, designers and specifiers to use low VOC-emitting materials and finishes to minimise the level of VOCs in buildings.

The level of VOC for a product, specified in the VOC certificate can affect Green Star credits.  Gyprock has engaged CETEC Pty. Ltd to test our range of plasterboards, compounds and adhesives for levels of VOC. The following VOC certificates may be required if you are using Gyprock products on a Green Star project.
