Declare® is a nutrition label for building products. It is designed to help specifiers quickly identify products that meet their project requirements. Declare® labels disclose all intentionally-added ingredients and residuals at or above 100ppm (0.01%) present in the final product by weight. Each ingredient must be reported with a chemical name, CAS number, and percentage or percentage range.
Declare® screens a product’s ingredients directly against the Living Building Challenge® (LBC) Red List, saving project teams from the arduous task of vetting products by hand. The LBC Red List contains the “worst in class” materials, chemicals and elements known to pose serious risks to human health and the greater ecosystem that are prevalent in the building products industry.
A product’s compliance with the LBC Red List is represented on the Declare® label by the product’s Declaration Status. There are three Declaration Statuses:
• LBC RED LIST FREE products disclose 100% of ingredients present at or above 100 ppm (0.01%) in the final product and do not contain any Red List chemicals.
• LBC RED LIST APPROVED products disclose a minimum of 99% of ingredients present in the final product and meet the LBC Red List Imperative requirements through one or more approved exceptions.
• DECLARED products disclose 100% of ingredients present in the final product, but contain one or more Red List chemicals that are not covered by an approved exception.
In addition to the LBC Red List, the Declare® label demonstrates alignment with other requirements within the Living Building Challenge® and Core Green Building Certification®, as well as LEED and WELL certifications. These requirements include ingredient disclosure thresholds, VOC content and emissions, embodied carbon, and responsible sourcing, including FSC Chain of Custody.
ILFI has collaborated with approved third-party assessors to provide manufacturers with the opportunity for third-party verification of Declare® label claims. This optional program offers an additional level of confidence and risk mitigation through the review of all ingredients, supply chain information, and Declare® label claims.
