How did the EasyCare Ultra Premium Acrylic Latex Paint obtain the Certification?

This ASP: 04-01 Certification Standard is targeted to paint products that are scientifically proven to reduce exposure to asthma and allergy triggers. The Certification Standard utilizes an algorithm of proprietary and recognized scientific techniques to assess paints for their ability to reduce allergenic and irritant materials.

Product samples that pass certification testing are granted a certificate stating that the particular paint item meets the requirements for the asthma & allergy friendly® ASP:04-01 Certification Standard.

Scientific Overview of Certification Testing

ASL subjects interior decorative coatings to chemical testing to ensure that the product does not have properties that are likely to irritate both asthma and allergy symptoms in susceptible people.

Different aspects have been evaluated:

  • National requirements for chemicals known to adversely impact human health and the environment
  • Physical performance standards
  • The release of airborne solvents and other irritant or toxic materials after application

True Value Company then obtained the certification after the products they sent for testing passed the tests and met the scientific requirements.

“People with asthma need paint options that minimize any impact on indoor air quality,” said Dr. John McKeon, CEO of ASL. “We are happy to verify that True Value’s EasyCare Ultra Premium Acrylic Latex paint meets our strict standards.”
