Industry-recognized indoor air quality certification from SCS Global Services strengthens compliance with leading green building standards.
AJMAN, United Arab Emirates, April 16, 2026 /3BL/ – GIBCA Furniture has achieved Indoor Advantage™ Gold certification from SCS Global Services across its core product categories, becoming the first UAE-based manufacturer to secure this certification across its full product range.
“Performance today extends beyond functionality to include indoor air quality and environmental responsibility. Achieving Indoor Advantage™ Gold certification across our product portfolio reflects our long‑term commitment to responsible manufacturing and healthier indoor environments, while supporting architects and consultants with solutions that simplify compliance and meet the evolving expectations of the built environment,” said Imran Khan, General Manager for Gibca Furniture.
As indoor environments continue to take priority in building design, material selection is no longer limited to aesthetics and durability. Emissions, air quality impact, and compliance with global standards are now central to specification decisions, particularly across commercial offices, education, and healthcare projects.
By achieving Indoor Advantage™ Gold certification, Gibca Furniture provides architects and consultants with independently verified products that meet the CDPH/EHLB Standard Method (CA 01350), complying with stringent low‑emission criteria suitable for sensitive indoor environments such as offices, schools, and residential developments. This eliminates the need for additional testing, simplifies documentation, and supports faster, more confident specification—particularly for projects pursuing LEED®, BREEAM®, and WELL™ certifications.
The certification covers Gibca’s Hufcor operable wall systems, demountable partition solutions, and its HPL product range – systems that are widely used in projects where flexibility, performance, and long-term usability are critical.
Certified product categories include:
- 600 Series Acoustic Operable Walls: 641, 642, 643E, 645V, 363, 5630, GF Series
- Demountable Partition Systems: Auralis 30, Auralis 100, Auralux, Linea
- HPL Solutions: Kitchen Cabinets, Kitchen Countertops, Toilet Cubicles, Wall Cladding
For project teams, this certification directly supports compliance requirements tied to indoor air quality credits, helping reduce risk during design approvals and certification audits. It also ensures that materials used within enclosed environments contribute to healthier indoor conditions over the life of the building.
“GIBCA Furniture Company has shown a clear dedication to product transparency and indoor air quality by achieving certification across multiple product categories. The achievement reflects a growing commitment to delivering low‑emitting products that support high‑performance, sustainable buildings,” states Rob Emelander, Operations Director for Environmental Certification Services at SCS Global Services.
