To comply with IEQc4.4 credit in LEED NC
It has been evaluated local furniture suppliers of MDF, used for new buildings and the most regular composite woord and agrifiber for new buildings.
In Peru have found that suppliers import their MDF to produce or manufacture (cut, assemble and/or upholstering) elements in building (also Furniture). In order to ensure compliance, suppliers have give certifications of MDF boards, like CARB or E-1, and those only indicate low values of UF in their composition but not 0% precisely, and reading other comments in this link see those certifications are not necesarly what we need for comply the LEED requirements.
So the consults are as follows:
- Are we comply the requirement of the credit if the project team present a supplier procedure indicating that have not adhered and therefore not contain any added UF resins in the production or manufacture process? since the scope of suppliers is just the production or manufacture, but not the elaboration of boards (wich came from other countries).
- or in the case it is need to support a larger cycle or scope of work can present the certifications E-1 or CARB additional to the supplier procedure?
- what kind of documents will be necesarly to comply the requirements according to the expose above about supplier and import MDF boards to produce products for buildings
