Hi Paula - If an engineered wood flooring manufacturer wanted to qualify a product line under Option 1, is it safe to assume that they would just need to publish the list of chemical ingredients of the adhesive system and the finish system (i.e. the man-made components of the product only)?
Thanks!

Hi Jason. They would also have to list "wood" as an ingredient, although it's not clear that they would have to identify the species.

Much belated thanks, Nadav.
And is it safe to assume that one can't qualify a product for options 1 and/or 2 that have no man-made ingredients, e.g. an HPD for solid unfinished wood flooring that disclosed the species of the wood but did not break down the chemical ingredients of the wood to 100 ppm -- and obviously has no Benchmark 1 chemicals?
