MAL-CODE

The MAL-code  is a Danish sign created for professional users which informs you about the possible health risk associated with working with a product. The code is used only in Denmark.

It consists of two numbers attached by a hyphen. The first number indicates those safety measures you have to take as a minimum to avoid breathing fumes from the product’s content of volatile substances. The second number indicates those safety measures you have to take as a minimum to counteract the health risk associated with the product, if it comes into direct contact with the skin or the airways, or if ingested.

The number before the hyphen goes from 00 to 5, and the number after the hyphen goes from 1 to 6. The higher the number, the higher the need for safety precautions.
Vintage Ultra Matt Varnish  is rated with the lowest MAL-code: 00-1.

A+ INDOOR AIR QUALITY

The “Air Label Score” label indicates the level of emission of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) into indoor air. It guarantees consumers the best available information and its goal is to limit the emission of volatile pollutants indoors.

The letters indicate the level of emission of the paint in volatile pollutants into the indoor air of a room: the rating ranges from "A+" (the product emits very little) to "C" (the product emits a lot of volatile pollutants). Be aware of any supplier advertising its product as VOC-free.  No paint is completely VOC-free but, it can be only low in VOC.
