For environmentally friendly sports flooring products, the selection of raw materials and the formulation system provide an important foundation for overall environmental performance. High-quality products should not only meet required physical performance standards but should also consider the characteristics of the raw materials themselves and the volatile substances that may be generated during production and application.

For polyurethane-based products, for example, the quality of raw materials, formulation system, and VOC (volatile organic compound) control can all affect the environmental performance of the finished product. Therefore, when selecting sports flooring materials, buyers should consider not only performance characteristics such as elasticity and wear resistance, but also examine the types of raw materials used and whether the product adopts a solvent-free or low-VOC formulation system.
When assessing whether a sports flooring product has good environmental performance, it is useful to look beyond raw materials and check whether the product has obtained relevant environmental certifications or ...
... passed third-party testing.

When discussing certifications, it is also important to clearly identify their specific scope rather than treating all certifications as the same type of "environmental certification."

For sports flooring purchasers, the number of certifications is not the only indicator of product quality. More importantly, buyers should understand who issued the certification, which standard it is based on, which products it covers, and which specific items were tested. Reviewing complete certification documents and test reports can provide a more objective understanding of a product's environmental performance.

Therefore, when selecting environmentally friendly sports flooring, purchasers can focus on three key areas: raw materials and formulation, applicable limits for hazardous substances, and third-party certifications and testing documentation. Compared with relying solely on general marketing terms such as "eco-friendly," these specific product details can provide a clearer basis for comparison and evaluation.

Jrace Sport's flooring products have obtained China Environmental Labeling Product Certification (Chinese Environmental Labeling) and have also met the relevant requirements for hazardous substance limits under China's mandatory national standard GB 36246–2018. The standard specifies limits for 18 hazardous substances, including benzene, toluene, and free TDI.

This means that when evaluating the environmental performance of a product, purchasers can examine specific hazardous substance control requirements rather than relying solely on environmental claims. For schools, sports facilities, and other sports venues used by people over extended periods, hazardous substance control is an important factor worth considering during procurement.

In addition, Jrace Sport has obtained China Green Building Materials Three-Star Certification, China Environmental Labeling Product Certification, RoHS compliance, SGS certification, and other relevant certifications and testing qualifications.
