or fungal growth on the paint film for situations where conditions are conducive to such
microbial colonisation. This approach avoids the use of biocides unnecessarily which is in
line with the ICI Paints AkzoNobel product stewardship policy.*
Based on the addition of protective biocides where needed, and without any specific
measurement of resistance levels, ICI Paints AkzoNobel products demonstrate compliance
for fungal and algal resistance as stated in BREEAM Hea 9 2008 and Hea 02 2011.
Conclusion:
Based on the above mentioned information, ICI Paints AkzoNobel declares
compliance with BREEAM Hea 9 2008 & Hea 02 2011.

Note 1:
The preferred method to determine the VOC content in a paint formulation is to use a
calculation technique rather than using the ISO test method quoted in Directive 2004/42/CE
(which is ISO 11890-2:2002, not BS EN 13300:2001 as quoted in the BRE documentation).
Each paint product is manufactured to a controlled formulation where the quantities of all
the raw materials in the mixture are accurately known. For the calculation, all the paint raw
materials are broken back to their component chemical substances and assessed for VOC
content as defined in the Directive, from the safety data sheets and additional information
obtained from the supplier of each raw material.
During the ISO 9001 certified manufacturing process each raw material is accurately added
to produce the paint formulation and, therefore, the quantity of VOC that goes into each
paint batch is known accurately from the calculated sum of all VOCs present in all the raw
materials. The VOC content of all paint formulations produced is identified using this
process, and ICI Paints AkzoNobel believe this is a more accurate, more reliable and more
efficient method of ensuring compliance with the VOC Regulations compared to carrying
out VOC testing of paint batches using the test standard method.
