What Is the Korea Eco-Label?
The Korea Eco-Label is a national certification program operated by the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment under the 「Environmental Technology and Industry Support Act」. An independent testing institute verifies the environmental performance of products, and only those meeting the standards are authorized to use the Eco-Label mark.
Unlike self-declarations, this is a government-recognized third-party verification, which makes it highly credible.
Test Results — All 21 Items Passed
The testing was conducted by FITI Testing & Research Institute, covering 21 items across volatile organic compounds, heavy metals, and other hazardous substances. All items met the required standards.
| Item | Result | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| TVOC (Total VOC) | 0.02 mg/m²h | ≤ 4.0 |
| Toluene | Not detected | ≤ 0.08 |
| Formaldehyde | 0.006 mg/m²h | ≤ 0.05 |
| Heavy Metals (Pb, Cd, etc.) | Not detected | Below limits |
Anker SURF Collection — SUR-601020 + SUR-601021
TVOC measured at 0.02 — just 0.5% of the 4.0 limit. Formaldehyde at 0.006 is only 12% of the threshold.
