Who really feels this in India

  • Premium parents specifying nurseries in Bangalore and Mumbai — looking past "eco" claims, asking for actual lab numbers.
  • Households with eczema, asthma, or chemical sensitivity — where VOC and migration data matter more than colour cards.
  • Architects building schools, pediatric clinics, and play areas — needing EN 71-3 documentation for tender submissions.

How LEINOS answers this

Most "child-safe" paint claims are unfalsifiable marketing. EN 71-3 is the migration part of the European toy-safety standard — it measures the actual migration of nineteen specified elements from a cured surface into a simulated digestion solution. Where a LEINOS product is tested under it, the TDS says so, and the documentation is published. For children's wood — cribs, tables, toys — the EN 71-3-tested finishes are 290 hardwax oil (interior wood + furniture), 280 countertop oil (food-contact surfaces), and 240 hard oil. The 290 also carries DIN 53160 saliva-and-perspiration resistance, which matters specifically for surfaces small hands and mouths reach. For walls, the natural-resin emulsions 650 and 660 are solvent-free with VOC under 1 g/l (EU Cat. a) — their trace in-can preservatives are disclosed on the datasheet, because honesty about ingredients is the point. For homes where someone reacts to standard wall paint, mineral lime (665) goes further — no biocides, no preservatives, no solvent, VOC below 1 g/l per TDS.

Marketing claims are self-declared. EN 71-3 is an independent lab method that measures migration of nineteen specified elements from a cured surface into an artificial gastric-acid solution, against fixed limits. A test report has a sample ID, a lab signature, and pass/fail thresholds. Where a LEINOS product is tested under it, the TDS states it — and the TDS is downloadable from the product page.
