What Certifications Does VinylPop Architectural Vinyl Film Have? (And Why They Actually Matter)
When you’re choosing materials for commercial or residential spaces — especially in healthcare, hospitality, or high-traffic environments — certifications aren’t just a box to check. They’re proof that a product has been tested, rated, and built to perform under real-world conditions.
That’s why at VinylPop, we exclusively use Bodaq architectural film — a premium surface material with globally recognized certifications that go far beyond aesthetic appeal.
If you’re wondering how safe, clean, and durable Bodaq really is, here’s the breakdown.
1. Fire Safety Certification (ASTM E84)
ASTM E84 is the standard fire test for interior wall and ceiling finishes in the U.S. It measures:
Flame spread
Smoke development
Bodaq passes with a Class A rating, which is the highest rating available — meaning it’s approved for use in commercial buildings, hotels, healthcare facilities, and more.
✅ What this means for you:
Safe for use in hallways, lobbies, and shared spaces
Meets building code requirements for most interior commercial applications
Provides peace of mind in environments where fire safety is non-negotiable
2. Antibacterial & Antimicrobial Certified (SGS Tested)
Bodaq film has been lab-tested and certified for antibacterial and antifungal performance through SGS, one of the world’s leading testing and inspection organizations.
This means:
The surface actively resists bacterial growth
It reduces the spread of germs in high-touch areas
It’s safer for environments like clinics, hotels, schools, and restrooms
✅ What this means for you:
Ideal for surfaces in shared or public spaces
Compliant with health and hygiene standards in medical and hospitality settings
Easier to keep clean and sanitary without harsh chemicals
3. Low VOC Certification (EcoLabel & CA Prop 65 Compliant)
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are chemicals released from products that can affect indoor air quality. Many paints, adhesives, and surface coatings emit VOCs for weeks after installation.
Bodaq is certified low-VOC and complies with California’s Prop 65 standards — among the strictest in the U.S.
✅ What this means for you:
No strong chemical odors or off-gassing
Safe to install in homes, healthcare spaces, and schools
Environmentally conscious and healthier for installers and occupants
4. Environmental Certifications
Bodaq film is also certified with the Korea Eco-Label, an official government-backed certification for environmentally friendly products. This ensures:
Responsible sourcing and manufacturing
Minimal environmental impact during production
Compliance with global sustainability standards
✅ What this means for you:
Reduced environmental footprint
A greener alternative to traditional renovation materials
Contributes to LEED and green building standards
Additional Safety & Performance Testing
Beyond certifications, Bodaq has undergone extensive performance testing, including:
Scratch and abrasion resistance
Heat and humidity performance
Adhesive bond strength
UV stability in indirect sunlight
If your project requires documentation or technical specs for submittals, we can provide everything you need — from MSDS sheets to test reports.
Final Word
Certifications aren’t fluff — they’re your assurance that a product is safe, clean, durable, and built for the kind of spaces you care about. With Bodaq, we’re not just delivering a beautiful finish — we’re delivering a certified, performance-rated surface solution.
If you have a space where fire rating, hygiene, or sustainability matters, let’s talk. We’ll walk you through how architectural film can meet (or exceed) your spec requirements — and even recommend alternatives if we think something else is a better fit.
