Hello,
Has anyone encountered a product that is new on the market and therefore is still in the process of becoming FloorScore Certified? Other products from the company are FloorScore Certified, but we have no documentation for this particular product as of yet. Is there any way this product can still count or not?
You rely on LEEDuser. Can we rely on you?

Can you ask the manufacturer for proof that the product is going through fourscore certification process and request estimated time for certification?

We asked if they had some other way to verify that their product met the requirements and they said they did not...however, I think it would be worthwhile to ask them for proof that it is currently undergoing the floor score certification process.
Thanks for the suggestion. We'll try that.

Hi Stefanie,
You can always pursue Option 2 as well where you engage in testing.
Unfortunately, I don't think that the USGBC will accept documentation that suggests that the product is going through the process of FloorScore certification.
