VOC Certificate - Emil America

Protocol -- Emission tests are performed following California Dept. of Health Services “Standard Practice forthe Testing of Volatile Organic Emissions from Various Sources Using Small-Scale Environmental Chambers,”CA/DHS/EHLRB/R-174, 07/15/04 (http://www.cal-iaq.org/VOC/Section01350_7_15_2004_FINAL_PLUS_ADDENDUM-2004-01.pdf). This practice is based on ASTM D 5116, “Standard Guide for Small-Scale Environmental Chamber Determinations of Organic Emissions from Indoor Materials/Products” andincorporates the chamber testing portion of California Specification 01350(http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/GreenBuilding/Specs/Section01350/). Project-specific results are calculated asdescribed in Specification 01350.Table 1.

Integrated Waste Management Board. For floorproducts ceiling panels, 100% coverage is assumed. For wall paint and wallcoverings, exposed area is wall paint area forthe building (http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/GreenBuilding/Specs/EastEnd/).Berkeley Analytical Associates, LLC.
