Hi all

Was not really sure were to get this info from and thought I'd see if anyone here can help.

To cut a long story short, I recently used a product which was supposed to be VOC free but in the end turned out to have a VOC content.

The company have said that it did not need to state this on the product because it "has a less 10% VOC content". I would still like to have known that the product had some VOC content (no matter how little) and would have appreciated having the info available and known.

If anyone can help with info on the subject, or a link to the UK requirements for declaring VOC content (high and low), I would very much appreciate it.

Also, if anyone knows of any forums where this post would be more appropriate, that would be great.

Many thanks

Max
