Danish Indoor Climate

Danish Indoor Climate Labelling (DICL) is a labelling scheme that documents the emission of chemical compounds from building materials, furniture and fixtures to the indoor air. DICL was founded in 1993 by the Danish housing minister and has continously been operated by Danish Technological Institute.

A product holding an Indoor Climate Label has been subjected to extensive testing, products holding a DICL must meet strict criteria in order to comply. There is an upper limit to how much the products are allowed to emit – and which substances are allowed to be emitted from the products. For example, no carcinogenics can be emitted from an Indoor Climate Labelled product.

DICL is distinguished from EU Ecolabel and The Blue Label by setting standards for the emitted chemical compounds and their effect on indoor climate and health rather than the compounds and their influence on environment and allergy.
