We manufacture Architectural wood doors made with wood composites which are CARB NAF and wood composites which are not included in the CARB requirements, i.e., structural composite lumber. The doors have been tested and meet the CDPH Standard V1.1-2010 and are third party certified by SCS Global. Does the product contribute to the Compliant materials for walls and the Composite Wood CARB point?

As I read it, the CARB option is a backstop for products that don't fit into the other categories, so meeting the general emissions requirement should be your target for wall products. Have you done the 14-day TVOC testing? That seems to be a sticking point for a lot of manufacturers with the general emissions evaluation.

Yes, we completed the 14 day TVOC testing.

Obviously GBCI is the ultimate arbiter, but based on what you've said, it sounds like the product complies.

The intent of the composite wood evaluation is to cover materials that are not covered in other categories. If you meet the general emissions evaluation requirements with the wood doors, they should count for the credit.
