This may have already been addressed. If so, my apologies.
Basically, I am working on a dorm that has installed their furniture 6 months or so ago but is finalizing their LEED Documentation now. I am now trying to obtain the SCS Indoor Advantage Certificates but the Certificates I find online are the most recently published certificates and so have a certification period that is after the date at which my products were installed. I'm sure that my product was certified when it was installed but I'm not sure how to find an "old" certificate.
I believe reviewers are looking to see that my installation date falls within my product's certification period. However, how can I find the appropriate certification period on a website such as Steelcase, if Steelcase is always keeping their certificates to the most current dates?

Full disclosure - I am the Technical Information & Public Affairs Manager for GREENGUARD Environmental Institute.
Lauren - contact SCS and ask them if they have a copy of the old certificate. If the product was certified they should be able to get you a pdf of the certificate. As GREENGUARD does, SCS may also have it listed somewhere on the product listing in their product guide how long the product has been certified - we call it the certification period, but they may call it something different. If that doesn't work, then I'm sure if you contact Steelcase directly they would have the independent test lab report that covers that period of time that would prove that the product passes the criteria.
