Qualifying Products

We're preparing to submit this pilot credit for a light-duty laboratory facility. We found, as others have noted, that the broad reach of CSI Divisions 9 and 12 are a significant stumbling block to achieving what we perceive to be the purest fulfillment of the credit, as many of the product categories in these Divisions have not yet mustered independent third-party certifications. In our case, specifically, our furniture selections were nearly all ANSI/BIFMA e3 qualified. Taken alone, we achieved a 61% ratio for the furniture items. However, when we added in the cost of extensive laboratory casegoods - which we could not find bearing an acceptable third-party certification - our percentage dropped dramatically, to 35%. We limited our scope to Division 12, as Division 9 yielded no compliant products. Other additions from Division 12 brought the total down further. Realizing that this may a somewhat unique case, given the preponderance of laboratory casegoods, I'm curious to know if anyone has gotten a clearer interpretation of exactly what is to be included in the calculation - and if others who have tried to follow the letter of the credit have had similar difficulties generally finding enough volume of certified product to make it work?
