Schools - Combine Option 1 wtih Option 2?

John - you should be able to obtain the credit by providing proof that the products used are low-emitting per CA 01350 criteria/testing. So yes, if Forbo has that proven, then they would help you qualify for that point. The reasoning behind this is that the Floorscore chemical emission criteria (page 7, 9, and 26 of http://scscertified.com/docs/SCS-EC10.2-2007.pdf) is simply CA 01350 criteria for minimization of individual chemicals (http://www.cal-iaq.org/vocs/standard-method-for-voc-emissions-testing-an...). GREENGUARD Children & Schools certified flooring would also help show verification as the criteria for the certification is not only the minimization of the 35 individual chemicals specified in CA 01350, but 330 additional individual chemicals and a Total Volatile Organic Compound limit on all other VOCs emitting from the product (page 4 of http://greenguard.org/Libraries/GG_Documents/GGPS_002_GREENGUARDChildren...). For transparency purposes, I am the technical information and public affairs manager for GREENGUARD Environmental Institute.

Hi John,

I agree. You should be able to comply with multiple routes, whatever is most applicable to the products you are hoping to specify.
