Neh Italia products are made with moss and stabilized natural materials selected to guarantee safety , quality and technical performance in indoor environments.

Our materials are accompanied by technical documentation certifying:

• compliance with European regulations on chemical safety (REACH – CLP)
  
• the absence of substances dangerous to health
  
• sound absorption performance
  
• suitability for use in indoor environments (offices, schools, hotels, public and private spaces)

Chemical Safety – REACH Compliance

The stabilized mosses used by Neh Italia comply with the European REACH Regulation (EC 1907/2006) and are not classified as hazardous substances according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008).

In particular:

• do not contain SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) substances
  
• they do not contain endocrine disruptors
  
• they present no known health risks under normal conditions of use
  
• are not classified as toxic, irritant or carcinogenic
  
• They are suitable for indoor applications
  

The safety of the material is documented through a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) compliant with European regulations .

Acoustic performance

Neh Italia stabilized moss panels have been subjected to sound absorption tests according to the international standard ASTM C423 at an accredited laboratory (Intertek) .

The results demonstrate that stabilized moss contributes to the reduction of sound reverberation and to the improvement of the acoustic comfort of environments , particularly in the frequencies of the human voice.

Indicative sound absorption values:

• NRC up to 0.30 – 0.55 with basic MDF panel and different glued mosses or lichens
  
• improved performance when combined with technical sound-absorbing panels ( NRC up to 0.70 - 0.80 with sound-absorbing panel as a base instead of MDF)
  

The panels are suitable for:

• offices and coworking
  
• meeting rooms
  
• hotels and restaurants
  
• commercial spaces
  
• school and training environments

Sustainable and biophilic design

The use of stabilized natural materials contributes to the principles of:

• biophilia
  
• environmental comfort
  
• perceived quality of spaces
  
• visual and acoustic well-being
  

Our products can be integrated into interior design and architecture projects oriented towards sustainability and indoor well-being , in compliance with the general safety requirements required for public and private buildings.

Support for LEED, CAM and WELL projects

Neh Italia products are compatible with the general requirements requested in the projects:

• LEED
  
• CAM Construction (Ministerial Decree 06/23/2022)
  
• WELL Building Standard
  

In particular with regards to:

• REACH compliance
  
• absence of hazardous substances
  
• use in indoor environments
  
• acoustic comfort
  
• biophilic design
  

Technical documentation (SDS and acoustic test reports) is available upon request to support designers and technical firms in preparing building certification procedures.

Reaction to fire

The stabilized moss panels used by Neh Italia have been subjected to official fire reaction tests according to the European standard EN 13501-1 at a notified laboratory (LNE – Laboratoire National de Métrologie et d'Essais).

The product is classified:

B-s1,d0

which indicates:

• very favourable fire behaviour (class B)
  
• very limited smoke production (s1)
  
• absence of drops or inflamed particles (d0)
  

This classification makes the panels suitable for applications in internal environments even subject to fire safety requirements, such as:

• offices
  
• hotel
  
• restaurants
  
• commercial spaces
  
• public buildings
  

The classification is valid for wall and ceiling installations according to the installation conditions provided for in the test report.

Technical documentation is available upon request for designers and technical studios.

Transparency and documentation

Neh Italia offers professionals:

• Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
  
• acoustic test reports
  
• product data sheets
  
• declarations of conformity
  

Each project can be supported with dedicated documentation based on the client's needs and applicable regulations.
