FAQs about MRc4 :

Is the REACH pathway in Option 2 available to projects in the U.S.?

Are there ways to get extra credit for products that exceed the thresholds?

Does Cradle-to-Cradle’s Material Health certificate count, or only full Cradle-to-Cradle certification?

For the Declare option do “LBC Compliant” and “Declared” labels count, or only “Red List Free”?

Does any published HPD work for a product to comply with the credit, or are there specific conditions it has to meet?

Does a manufacturer have to reveal everything that’s in a product to comply with the transparency option?

Paula, has there been an official ruling from USGBC on whether REACH can be used under Option 2 for LEED projects within the U.S. If yes, is there a document that provides this information?

Bill, yes, there has. But it was ridiculously difficult to find.http://www.usgbc.org/articles/leed-addenda-release-october-2014
  • MR Credit Building Product Disclosure and Optimization – Material Ingredients has been revised to clarify that U.S. projects cannot use the REACH alternative compliance path.
