My office had a bunch of file cabinets repainted. A industrial coating was used. I have the VOC content of the coating used but I can't find the allowable limit. Is there somewhere I can look for this? Do i even have to report this?

Are you doing this as part of a LEED-CI certification? Were the cabinets refinished onsite or off-site?I'll have to think about this a bit more, but those questions are key.

yes this would be apart of LEEd-CI certification. The file cabinets were refurbished and repainted offsite and then moved into our new building location.

Since the coatings were applied off-site they are not subject to the IEQc4.2 credit requirements. They might be subject to the IEQc4.5 requirements, which cover furniture, depending on whether they think they qualify as "systems furniture." I would recommend reviewing the requirements for that credit, if you're pursuing it.
