CRI's Green Label Plus for Adhesives Receives

Dalton, GA, August 29--The Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS), a consortium of public agencies and California utilities that has identified low-emitting materials criteria - Section 01350 - for use in schools has accepted CRI’s Green Label Plus testing program for adhesives in lieu of Section 01350. The Green Label Plus program for adhesives was launched on August 1 and was recently approved by the CHPS Board of Directors to determine the acceptable adhesives in CHPS low-emitting Materials list. A school that specifies and installs the materials qualifies for points under Indoor Environmental Quality Credit 2: Low-Emitting Materials. CHPS and the Los Angeles Unified School District developed a list of products that are certified to meet the criteria. CRI worked in cooperation with the California Department of Health Services' Indoor Air Quality Section (DHS/IAQ) and the California Sustainable Building Task Force to establish a testing protocol for VOCs emitted from carpet and adhesive products in lieu of Section 01350.
