Dears, 

is NSF/ANSI 140 Carpet - Platinum certificate approved and considered in Low Emitting Credit? I've looked at the certification and there is no reference to CDPH standards.

Best Regards, 

Osman

So far I only see NSF/ANSI 332 for resilient flooring in the third party certification table: https://www.usgbc.org/sites/default/files/2022-08/Low%20Emitting%20Third%20Party%20Certifications%20and%20Labels%20July%202022.pdf  I didn't see anything in the LEED Interpretations about NSF 140. I did find this in Building Green from 2014: "CRI worked with NSF International on a multi-attribute standard, NSF 140, that incorporates the Green Label Plus certification. Many manufacturers go for the full sustainability label rather than just trying to achieve Green Label Plus, which only covers VOC emissions." The table lists Green Label Plus as compliant with CDPH v1.1, so it would appear that NSF 140 would also.  Maybe ask your LEED coach?
