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?

Hello Dario, I would probably need additional details, but most likely you would want to ensure it was FloorScore certified. http://www.scscertified.com/products/program.php?a=FloorScore

Dario, Just as a heads-up the flooring doesn't have to be FloorScore certified. It does have to pass the CA 01350 requirements - which as stated above FloorScore and GREENGUARD Children & Schools show compliance to. Additionally, a test lab report for the stated product can be used to show compliance to the CA 01350 requirements. There are a number of laboratories around North America and a few in Europe that supply that testing.
