Do projects have to consider the requirements for IEQ4.3 either through the CRI green label plus or other testing method for the walk off mats required under IEQ5 Indoor Chemical Pollutant Source Control?
Searching through the CRI site i haven't found a specific mention of mats other than its a good idea to have them and for them to be regularly cleaned.
If they are in a grille like system the adhesive might be an issue as well
thank you

Look through the IEQ c5 conversations. I'm sure this is covered there. Adhesives applied on site always count.

Hello,
This topic has been covered before...though I'm having a hard time "grabbing it" quickly through the site.
I have not been able to find a walk off mat that is CRI Green Label Plus. My feeling is that the mats themselves, often with just strips of carpet between metal grilles, do not need to be CRI Green Label.
It all comes down to whether or not these things are being applied inside the weatherproofing membrane and on-site.
