Paige Stainless Fabrications’ HEELGUARD® stainless steel grate and tray, and grate and frame systems have been independently assessed under the Global GreenTag International Product Health Declaration™ (PHD™) framework and have achieved PlatinumHEALTH HealthRATE™ certification.
These certifications relate specifically to product health and material transparency, supporting informed specification decisions in projects where human health, material disclosure and chemical risk management are key considerations.
GreenTag Product Health Declaration™ (PHD™)
The Global GreenTag Product Health Declaration™ (PHD™) provides structured disclosure of a product’s material composition, with ingredients assessed against recognised human health hazard screening criteria.
For HEELGUARD®, the PHD™ supports transparency by clearly identifying disclosed materials and evaluating potential health-related considerations relevant to indoor and outdoor built-environment applications. The PHD™ does not assess overall environmental sustainability or performance claims, but focuses specifically on product health and chemical safety information to assist specifiers and project teams.
GreenTag PlatinumHEALTH HealthRATE™ Certification
The PlatinumHEALTH HealthRATE™ level represents Global GreenTag’s highest product health benchmark. This rating reflects an independent assessment of disclosed materials and their associated human health considerations across relevant exposure pathways, in accordance with Global GreenTag’s HealthRATE™ methodology.
PlatinumHEALTH HealthRATE™ certification indicates that HEELGUARD® demonstrates a high level of product health performance, based on the information assessed at the time of certification.
