FloorScore is the most recognized indoor air quality (IAQ) certification standard for hard surface flooring materials, adhesives, and underlayments. It was developed by SCS (Scientific Certification Systems), a third party certifier, with the Resilient Floor Covering Institute (RFCI), a leading industry trade association of flooring manufacturers and suppliers.<\/p>\n<h4>How is the certification program organized and administered?<\/h4>\n<p>RFCI controls the FloorScore program name and logo. SCS acts as the third-party certifier ensuring program integrity and independence. This voluntary, independent certification program tests and measures risks to indoor air quality.<\/p>\n<p>To do this, SCS does the following:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Works with the manufacturer to identify appropriate samples for testing;<\/li>\n<li>Reviews VOC emission test reports generated by independent testing laboratories;<\/li>\n<li>Determines if the test results meet the California Section 01350 requirements for individual VOCs of concern;<\/li>\n<li>Inspects manufacturing plants to review product formulas, processing, and quality control in order to determine how the FloorScore seal may be used.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.11&#8243;

The test measures chamber concentrations of individual VOCs appearing on California lists of chemical substances that have potential health effects due to long-term exposures. Abundant compounds also are identified and measured. Only those compounds that can be analyzed by the prescribed widely used VOC EPA and ASTM methods are included. Individual VOCs are analyzed using multi-point calibration curves prepared with pure compounds.
