Hi everybody... again.
Does anybody know if manufacturers' letters are accepted as proper documents to proof VOC levels? I know, that in submittal templates there is listed a "letter" option.
We have some documents in which manufacturer has stated the level of VOC according to SCAQMD 1168 or Green Seal.
Actually, how is a compliant product for a VOC budget method defined? Officially: "SPECIFIC_PRODUCTS that are used inside weatherproofing system must not exceed the VOC content limits established in SCAQMD/GS."
So according to information in the reference guide and submittal templates, this means that manufacturer's declaration of VOC content in a form of letter should be sufficient. MSDS are definitely better, but manufacturers do not declare the VOC content for all their products in MSDSs, especially if it does not contain any VOCs. Can anybody confirm please?

Petr, a letter from the manufacturer giving the value is sufficient.

Does this letter need to state what testing method was used?
Or just saying a product XYZ has xxx gr/lt of voc is enough?
