Does anyone know if glass manifestation (decorative films on glass panels) applied on-site falls under any of the IEQ credits and if yes, what requirements it has to meet exactly? Thank you.

IEQc4.1 governs wet-applied adhesives and sealants. However, “Glass Manifestations” appear to be self-adhesive decals applied to glass without the use of a wet adhesive. Therefore, IEQc4.1 VOC restrictions do not seem to apply to this product.

Thank you for the quick response, Jon. Please correct me if I am wrong, but the intent of IEQc4.1 is to limit the amount of VOCs introduced to the indoor air that could off-gas after completion. Any self-adhesive tape/ decal would start releasing its VOCs when you peel off the backing on-site. Doesn't this make it fall under IEQc4.1?

Akos - You are correct about the intent of IEQc4.1. However, the referenced standards, SCAQMD 1168 and GS-36 simply do not govern self-adhesive tapes, decals, or films.
