10. Any rubber used must be tested free of benzene, toluene, pthalates, SBR, petroleum additives, formaldehyde, arsenic, lead at under .001 ppm
11. Any glue used must be free of formaldehyde, phenolated compounds and must be disclosed

If a manufacturer cannot meet these standards, they are considered a "natural" mattress manufacturer. If they meet or exceed these standards, they would be an organic mattress manufacturer. This standard protects consumers from end products that may not be as pure as the customer believes.
