Question:
Are their any materials that WELL considers to be inherently non-emitting that do not need to meet VOC testing?
Answer:
The IWBI recognizes the following as inherently non-emitting: stone, ceramic, powder-coated metals, plated or anodized metal, glass, concrete, clay brick, and unfinished or untreated solid wood flooring. It is important to note that if any of these items have finishes, sealants or adhesives applied, they will require VOC testing either as a whole or in parts, i.e. at least the coating/finish/adhesive requires VOC testing.
