Products Compliant with Minimum Environmental Criteria (CAM)
CAM-Compliant Paints and Coatings: Quality, Sustainability, and Indoor Wellbeing
If you are looking for sustainable paints and coatings suitable for public procurement and fully compliant with current regulations—developed with respect for the environment and human health—our CAM (Minimum Environmental Criteria) compliant solutions are the ideal choice.
What is CAM?
In line with the Borma Wachs philosophy, which combines technological research with a commitment to nature, our CAM-compliant formulations guarantee technical performance, high coverage, ultra-low emissions, and strict control over hazardous substances. A responsible choice for public tenders, green building, and anyone seeking healthy, safe indoor spaces.
Minimum Environmental Criteria (CAM) are the environmental and technical specifications defined by the Italian Ministry of the Environment to guide public authorities toward green purchasing and foster sustainability in public procurement.
CAM compliance is mandatory for architectural design services, building interventions, and public works contracts. It applies to construction products and finishing materials—including varnishes, wood protection treatments, and interior/exterior paints—aiming to reduce environmental impact throughout the entire product and building lifecycle, from raw material selection to final disposal.
CAM Paints and Finishes: Key Requirements
For interior and exterior paints, coatings, and finishes, Minimum Environmental Criteria set rigorous standards to protect both health and the ecosystem:
Basse emissiLow Indoor Emissions (VOCs and Formaldehyde)
Products for interior use must preserve high Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) by minimizing the release of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and formaldehyde. This ensures safe, healthy living spaces. Compliance is verified according to international standards such as UNI EN 16516 and UNI EN ISO 16000-9.
No Environmental Hazard Classification
CAM-compliant paints and finishes for both interior and exterior applications must not carry Category 1 or 2 environmental hazard classifications. These restrictions exclude any products bearing hazard statements H400, H410, or H411 in Section 2.1 of their Safety Data Sheet (SDS) or on their packaging label.

LEGENDA
Conformity EN 71.3 Toy safety - Part 3: Migration of certain items.
Eurofins danish laboratories have recognized the conformity of Borma Wachs oils to EN 71-3 norm, relating to the migration of harmful heavy metals, guaranteeing the safety of the treatments in such a way that they can also be safe for use on childrens' toys.
Labeling of construction products
This label covers the French legislation relating to emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and the impact they have on indoor air quality after the product is brought into the room.
Labeling refers to the pollutants emitted once the products are spread and dried.
The IBR Green Building Institute had tested some of our products and determined that they correspond to the highest standards of the aforementioned French VOC legislation.
EMICODE EC1 - Low-emission building materials
Certified installation materials, adhesives and construction products
The EMICODE mark guarantees that the material has been tested and certified according to its emission level. Compared to 1997, low-emission building materials now have a TVOC value (total quantity of volatile organic compounds) from one hundred to one thousand times lower. The EMICODE mark is not issued if a building material is suspected of altering genetic makeup, causing cancer or impairing reproductive capacity.
APEO (alkylphenol ethoxylates)
APEOs (alkylphenol ethoxylates) are highly persistent chemicals, which are deposited in the tissues, penetrating, through them, into the food chain.
Recent studies demonstrate its toxicity and danger, as potential endocrine disruptors.
HACCP
Compliance with HACCP, an acronym for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points, means adhering to a food safety management system that aims to identify, evaluate and control hazards that can compromise the wholesomeness of food. In practice, it involves adopting preventive measures to ensure that food is safe for consumption.
