FYI an addenda to 2009 includes some important updates to EQc4.3:
“Mineralbased finish flooring products such as tile, masonry, terrazzo, and cut stone without integral organic-based coatings and sealants and unfinished/untreated solid wood flooring qualify for credit without any IAQ testing requirements.”
The addenda can be found here: http://www.usgbc.org/ShowFile.aspx?DocumentID=7049

Thanks for calling our attention to this, Devon; we'd been scrambling to find a certified or tested alternative to the specified tile on our CI project, but now it appears that we can "call off the dogs" as it were. This is good news, as the options available within the Floorscore and Greenguard C&S programs in this area where somewhat limited.
