NC-2009 IEQc4.3: Low-Emitting Materials—Flooring Systems
Hi Everyone,
We have stainless steel stair nosing with anti-slip PVC strips on our stairs. I do not find any descriptions mentioning stair nosing, but have a feeling that it would need to be FloorScore certified.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Any comments are appreciated!

Depending on your application, this could be a grey area. My inclination would be to include them here. Remember that you can use Option 2.

I agree that applications like this can be a grey area. In principle, it is a good idea to consider all flooring products that could off-gas in your space.

I have received a response to my inquiry from GBCI.
"Those strips are not listed in the credit requirements and I don't find any addenda that mention them, so, no, they do not need to be considered."
