CI-v4 EQc2: Low emitting materials
We are evaluating a fabric wall covering. The only testing documentation we can find is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (Class II). Has anyone researched whether this standard conforms with v4 requirements and CDPH methods?

Are throw rugs subject to the credit requirements?
What are the adhesives and sealants to be included in the documentation?
Is there a VOC budget method for this credit?
What are the limits on the VOC budget method?
Do products applied to the weather barrier need to comply with VOC thresholds?
If one part of my multicomponent wall system is not compliant, can I still get full credit?

I just made a detailed check of OEKO-TEX 100 standard. Unfortunately OEKO-TEX 100 is not compatible with CDPH and thus with v4 requirements which are about VOC emissions. But VOC emissions not always are tested for OEKO-TEX 100; and if they are tested, then the list of limited VOCs and the testing method of OEKO-TEX 100 do not cover the limits and the methods of CDPH. Therefore, the requirements are less stringent with OEKO-TEX 100 than with CDPH / v4.
