Launch of SGLS Category 32A: Heat Reflective Paints & Surface Coatings

As part of our commitment to advancing sustainability and responding to the evolving needs of the built-environment sector, the Singapore Environment Council (SEC) regularly reviews product categories under the Singapore Green Labelling Scheme (SGLS).

SEC is pleased to announce the launch of the Heat Reflective Paints & Surface Coatings category under SGLS, which will take effect on 27 January 2026.

This new category introduces clearer requirements and a strengthened assessment framework for evaluating paint heat reflectivity. It provides greater clarity on how thermal and reflective properties are assessed as part of the certification process.

Paints and surface coatings seeking endorsement for heat reflectivity must meet both the general SGLS criteria and the specified thermal performance standards. Once awarded the Green Label, the certificate will include the following descriptive text: Environmentally Preferred Heat Reflective Paints & Surface Coatings”.
