About Green Flame™
Green Flame (GF) is a program that includes Fire Safety, Health and Environmental aspects in a single evaluation of any given product. Environmental requirements have been included in product procurement for some time. Fire performance requirements have, however, typically not been included in such systems. In some cases the environmental focus, however, has potentially had an effect on the fire performance or vice versa attention to the fire performance has potentially had an effect on the environmental impact of the product. The Green Flame™ (GF) system has been put forward in an attempt to address fire safety and its health and environmental aspects, i.e., to ensure maximum fire performance with a minimum of negative impact on the environment and human health. It has been developed to promote environmentally sound fire safety.
