The Profile Study initiates the GREENGUARD Certification Program for a given line of products; in this case, insulation product. These tests involve
evaluation of various product samples and materials to help establish product variability and provide baseline emission data for the products proposed for
certification. This chemical emissions testing is based upon environmental chamber standards ASTM D 5116 and D 6670. The Profile Study enables the
manufacturer to certify a large number of products, colors and options while only testing representative products and materials from the certification category.
