Flooring products that
meet the FloorScore® program requirements in effect at the
time of certification can display the FloorScore® label. To
see certified products by manufacturer, visit the manufacture’s
link below.
Rigorous testing is the backbone of FloorScore®. Representative
flooring samples are tested in strict accordance with the
California Department of Health Services Standard Practice
for the Testing of Volatile Organic Emissions from Various
Sources Using Small-Scale Environmental Chambers (CA/DHS/EHLB/R-174).
This government-developed practice outlines the requirements
for sample collection, packaging and shipment, test specimen
preparation and conditioning, chamber testing, chemical analysis,
and test reporting.
Test results must comply with the requirements outlined
in SCS-EC-10-2004 Environmental Certification Program - Indoor
Air Quality Performance, which uses the emission concentrations
for listed VOCs under the California Section 01350 program.
See www.dhs.ca.gov/ps/deodc/ehlb/iaq/VOCS/Practice.htm for
complete testing specifications.
