"Period of Manufacture"

The period of manufacture, earliest date and latest date, are intended to reflect the time period when the furniture was manufactured. For many manufacturers these dates are essentially the installation date, as many products are built-to-order. SCS Indoor Advantage is a third-party certification that demonstrates compliance with the ANSI/BIFMA furniture emissions standards, and therefore the signed SCS certificates are acceptable documentation to demonstrate compliance with EQc4.5. Under Form of Compliance I would state: SCS Indoor Advantage third-party certification to ANSI/BIFMA option. SCS and Greenguard are different in many ways, however EQc4.5 accepts either Greenguard certification or compliance to the ANSI/BIFMA furniture emissions standards, which can be demonstrated by SCS, other third-party certifications, or through other means.

Thanks for your very helpful comment Randy. That cleared up a lot for me. :)
