7 WALLS AND CEILINGS Grade „A“ for AURO People spend an average of at least one third of the day within closed rooms, even more during the cold autumn and winter seasons. Therefore it is important to use wall paints of the highest quality that constitute no substantial source for the pollution of the indoor air. In this respect, the so-called „volatile organic compounds“ (VOC) play an important role. These are substances that evaporate easily, i.e. they turn to gas already at very low temperatures, even at room temperature. The complete AURO product range, especially the products for walls and ceilings, fulfills the requirements of the French VOC regulation and receives the top grades A or A+. More than three quarters of the relevant products are graded A+. Moreover, our wallpaints correspond to the Decopaint Guideline (2004/42/EU). On www.auro.com , you will find a clearly arranged listing of all products that have these or other certifications.
