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?

Would a testing result from Air Quality Sciences (from 2012) showing that product meets Greenguard Children & Schools criteria be accepted in lieu of Floorscore for a wall base? The manufacturer is Surteco/Doellken however no further certification information is available nor is it listed in the UL Sustainable Product Guide. Thank you!

Agnes - great idea to always check on ul.com/spg for products certified to the UL GREENGUARD Gold certification. Their are currently 8 products certified under the Doellken/Surteco brand on the SPG: http://productguide.ulenvironment.com/SearchResults.aspx?BrandID=854 If it is not one of those that you are talking about, look to the other Doellken or Surteco branded products (on the left hand side of the SPG you can search by manufacturer). If the product isn't on the website then the product hasn't been confirmed to meet the UL GREENGUARD Gold certification which is compliant with this credit (and used to be called GREENGUARD Children & Schools).

Josh - thank you for your reply! I saw these products before however the proposed product is a wall base, not listed in the Product Guide. Are these "edgebanding" products actually "wall base"? Or maybe they certified materials used to produce f.in "wall base"? http://www.doellken.pl/uploads/media/doellken_katalog_rozkl.pdf Secondly, since with other credits testing according to CA01350 (and it looks like that's what they did here) is acceptable in lieu of actual certification, I was wondering if this would be the case here, since the manufacturer is posting those results on their websites: http://www.doellken.pl/index.php?id=4117&L=6 http://www.doellken.pl/index.php?id=4115&L=0 I tried contacting everyone listed on these documents, Greenguard and Doellken but no lack in confirming compliance. Please advise. Thank you!
