Guidelines for Verification of Attributes
Evaluation guidelines are developed, with input from industry and other interested parties, to use in verifying manufacturers’ claims about the sustainable attributes of their products. These guidelines address the production stage of the report subject beginning with raw material acquisition and progressing through final manufacturing and packaging (“cradle-to-gate”).
A Verification of Attributes Report™ (VAR™) verifies claimed environmental attributes within nine categories. These categories are:
EG101 – Evaluation Guideline For Determination Of Recycled Content
Of MaterialsEG102 – Evaluation Guideline For Determination Of Biobased Material Content
EG103 – Evaluation Guideline For Determination Of Solar Reflectance, Thermal Emittance And Solar Reflective Index Of Roof Covering Materials
EG104 – Evaluation Guideline For Determination Of Regionally Extracted, Harvested Or Manufactured Materials Or Products
EG105 – Evaluation Guideline For Determination Of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Content And Emissions Of Adhesives And Sealants
EG106 – Evaluation Guideline For Determination Of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Content And Emissions Of Paints And Coatings
EG107 – Evaluation Guideline For Determination Of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Content And Emissions Of Floor Covering Products
EG108 – Evaluation Guideline For Determination Of Formaldehyde Emissions Of Composite Wood And Engineered Wood Products
EG109 – Evaluation Guideline For Determination Of Certified Wood And Certified Wood Content In Products
The program is available for products, materials and/or systems that fall within the scope of one or more of the nine categories.
