Anybody have advice on how to document a plywood product is manufactured to PS-1 or PS-2 standard for fire treated products?  I am getting pushback from GBCI for Hoover Pyro-guard products.

Erin,  Hi.  Curious to know if you've resolved your question.  I have heard that GBCI was taking issue with the documentation on this exact product.  I am preparing for submission and I have included two documents - 1). the Hoover Pyroguard Plywood spec that states that "Plywood treated with Pyro-guard shall be manufactured und US Product Standards- PS-1 or PS-2.  Panels shall have a minimum bond durability of Exposure 1"  and 2).  The Pyro-Guard Greenguard Gold Certificate.  I believe this addresses both the Ply and the surface treatment (fingers crossed).

Denise, Was your documentation accepted for Hoover Pygroguard Plywood by LEED Reviewer? Please let me know.

Bipin,  Hi.   Yes, it was approved and we were successful in our Composite Wood category for Low Emitting Materials.
