Simplifying Green Building Compliance
Specifying paint for Green Star, WELL or LEED projects can feel like managing a checklist, including VOC data, emission reports, and third-party certificates that must be current and auditable. Each detail matters and every document takes time, but there is a faster, more dependable process to compliance. Independent certification removes uncertainty, and that is what Haymes Paint delivers, being certified paint products, ready documentation, and a team that understands the language of specifications.
How Independent Certification Simplifies the Process
Global GreenTag is an internationally recognised certification system accepted under Green Star, WELL, and LEED rating tools. When a paint carries a GreenTag certificate, it confirms that its health, emissions, and material content have already been independently assessed.
For specifiers, this means you can reference a single, recognised document instead of collating supplier declarations or separate VOC tests. Certification becomes both a compliance guarantee and a safeguard, reducing administrative work without lowering technical standards.
Understanding GreenTag in Practice
Two certification marks within the GreenTag program appear across the Haymes Paint range, each addressing a different aspect of compliance.
GreenRate Level A
This mark represents the highest GreenRate level and indicates that a product aligns fully with recognised green building rating requirements. You will find it on Haymes Paint’s Ultra Premium interior paints.
PHD PlatinumHEALTH
Standing for Product Health Declaration, this certification reflects ultra-low chemical risk and full ingredient transparency. It signals to specifiers that a coating meets advanced health criteria and supports both IEQ and Materials credits within rating systems.
Both marks are recognised by the Green Building Council of Australia and international certification bodies, giving specifiers documentation that can be cited directly in submissions.
GreenTag Certified Haymes Paint Range
We offer a GreenTag certified interior paint range designed for confidence and efficiency.
- Expressions® Interior: <1 g/L VOC, exceptional washability, easy cleaning. Interior walls and broadwall areas.
- Trim Enamel: Water-based enamel alternative, durable and non-yellowing, 2-hour recoat. Doors, trims, skirtings, frames.

Where These Products Support Certification
Our certified paints assist project teams in meeting the following core outcomes:
Indoor Environment Quality (IEQ)
Low-emitting paints support healthier interiors by reducing airborne chemical exposure. VOC data and GreenTag certification satisfy the evidence requirements within Green Star and WELL frameworks.
Materials and Transparency
Products with PHD PlatinumHEALTH certification contribute to material transparency credits by providing verified ingredient disclosure and health data.
Because GreenTag is also recognised within LEED, Haymes’ certified coatings can support documentation consistency across international projects.

Addressing Common Specifier Questions
“Does certification affect performance?”
No. GreenTag certification verifies environmental and health attributes but does not compromise technical performance. The certified coatings listed above meet APAS standards, deliver excellent washability, and maintain the same durability expected of Haymes’ professional-grade products.
“How can I ensure a fully certified system?”
To achieve a fully certified interior paint system, pair Expressions® Interior with Ultratrim®, both of which are GreenTag certified. Note that other products are pending certification, so please confirm their status with our specifier services team before completing your specification documentation.
“How does Haymes Paint differ from larger certified brands?”
Haymes Paint provides the same recognised certification but pairs it with local manufacturing and personal technical support. Certificates, data sheets and product queries can be managed through our specifier services, removing delays often experienced with larger suppliers.
