Does anyone know if there is an exception to credit requirements for furniture only composed of factory-finished metal products? Thanks!

Are throw rugs subject to the credit requirements?
What are the adhesives and sealants to be included in the documentation?
Is there a VOC budget method for this credit?
What are the limits on the VOC budget method?
Do products applied to the weather barrier need to comply with VOC thresholds?
If one part of my multicomponent wall system is not compliant, can I still get full credit?

There is not an exception for furniture storage cabinets constructed with factory finished metal.
While metals are inherently non-emitting, the coating or finish can emit VOCs, depending on the coating type, age, etc. Often powder-coat materials on metal provide compliant, low-emitting finishes as any potentially VOCs present are baked out in the factory, however not all powder coat materials are the same.
