IEQ 4.3 requires compliance with new standards for all flooring: “Carpet and all hard surface flooring installed in the building interior shall comply with the testing and product requirements of the California Department of Public Health Standard Method for the Testing and Evaluation of Volatile Organic Chemical Emissions From Indoor Sources Using Environmental Chambers version 1.1 (CDPH/EHLB Standard Method v1.1), modeled using the standard office building protocol parameters and certified as compliant by an independent third party.”
Currently there seems to be no website listing compliant products like the CHPS website for acceptable flooring products for schools. Is there any guidance on finding compliant products?

Mark,
CDPH/EHLB Standard Method v1.1was formerly known as 01350 and if you run searches on the Scientific Certification System website for 01350 compliant products you can identify numerous products.
