EQ Credit 2: Low-emitting materials Furniture evaluation. If a workstation meets Greenguard but doesn't meet Greenguard Gold when the worksurface finish is wood veneer or wood finishes but that finish is less than 5% of the total product could you make the case that it complies with the criteria? If 90% of an assembly meets the criteria, the system counts as 100% compliant. If less than 50% of a assembly meets the criteria, the assembly counts as 0% compliant.

It appears that GreenGuard certification (not Gold) is an acceptable third party certification for demonstrating compliance with the emissions testing requirements for furniture. This is according to the latest version of the "Low-Emitting Materials Third-Party Certifications Table" available on USGBC's website, found here: https://www.usgbc.org/resources/low-emitting-materials-third-party-certification-table
