FAQs about IEQc4.3 :

If I have no flooring products in the scope of my project, can I earn this credit?

How do I handle a polished concrete floor?

Should mineral-based finish flooring products (without any integral organic-based coatings and sealants) and unfinished/untreated solid wood flooring be documented on the IEQc4.3 LEED Online form, even though they are exempt from certification requirement

On a renovation, should flooring that is previously installed be subject to the credit requirements?

One flooring adhesive we are using falls under both IEQc4.1 and IEQc4.3, and is over the VOC limit. We are using the VOC budget method to meet IEQc4.1 requirements, but are we automatically disqualifed from IEQc4.3?

The credit requirements are allowed to exempt unfinished wood flooring from the credit requirements, but wood flooring is almost always finished. This is confusing!

I have an international project and my flooring products aren’t tested using any of the above standards. How can I tell if they still comply?

Did you get an answer on this question?

You can see the conversation two comments up and then also a few comments above that: Porcelain flooring tiles should automatically comply; however to be sure of getting the right review response, select "alternative compliance method", list any non-organic flooring products there and if you have it, upload the manufacturer's statement declaring the material content as support. I have been able to state in the narrative what the material of the tile is and it has been accepted. Secondly don't forget the grout. If its simple cement grout, its also exempt but any other grout compound must be uploaded here and also uploaded in IEQ 4.1 Adhesives and Sealants in case you are pursuing that credit.
