Hi,
My project is an office building and they want to leave to the tenants a polypropylene raised floor. As it is located, each tenant will be free to choose a finish floor.
Does the polypropylene raised floor need to have a Floorscore certification, since it doesn´t have any sealant and it is an inert plastic?
Thank you.

Yes, it would need to be tested. The exemption described in the credit language (see above) is for "mineral-based" flooring such as tile or cut stone.

Anderson - just as a qualification, the product does not need to be FloorScore certified. That is one of the pathways that a product can take to show compliance. The product needs to show compliance with the CA 01350 Test Methodology and Requirements. There are other certification programs that are in the marketplace that help show this compliance, so you do have options.

I too have a data center project with raised floors in the server rooms. The product being specified is a Tate ConCore systems with lightweight concrete filled steel pan access panels and galvanized steel pedestals. The finish on top is a plastic laminate to be selected separately. Would like your advice.

Cindy, you do need to show compliance with CA 01350. As Josh indicated, there are several pathways to do this.

Hi,
We still have further questions on this topic.
The raised floor is not the final finish.
Still, must present a Floorscore certificate?
Thank you.
