I am a bit lost in this document: STANDARD PRACTICE FOR THE TESTING OF VOLATILE ORGANIC EMISSIONS FROM VARIOUS SOURCES... Where exactly are located the VOCs and chemicals we that need to be checked and their maximum levels for hard surface flooring in this standard? Now after the launch of the alternative compliance paths international projects can prove compliance with EU and German AgBB/DIBt testing methods, but we we want to find the reference values for VOC. Are they in Table 7.3 with CREL? Cause in Section 4.1.5 confirms that numerous chemical substances on the chronic REL lists that are not VOCs :( Please advise.

Maria, In the old CA 01350 (which is referenced) you are correct to note that there are a number of chemicals listed that don't emit from products. This has been corrected in the newer version of CA 01350 which only references 35 individual chemicals that must be minimized to show compliance. Those chemicals that they are looking to minimize the off gassing of are listed in the newer version which can be found here: http://www.cal-iaq.org/download-voc-publications/voc-publications/standard-method-for-the-testing-and-evaluation-of-volatile-organic-chemical-emissions-from-indoor-sources-using-environmental-chambers-version-1-1-2010 (page 37 of 52). Hopefully this helps.
