Staticworx® ESD Rubber Tile Floors Meets Strict Indoor Air Quality Standards

Staticworx®  ESD Rubber Flooring Meets Indoor Air Quality Standards of California's Section 01350

Newton, MA - February 3, 2007 
Staticworx® ESD rubber flooring meets the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) standards of California's Section 01350. Part of the California Code of Regulations (CCR), Section 01350 is a special environmental requirements standard specification that covers key environmental performance issues in all state owned or leased buildings. Section 01350 addresses the selection and handling of building materials in construction, along with a range of other sustainable design issues.

Staticworx® ESD rubber flooring meets the standards outlined in the section's IAQ testing protocol, which stipulates that independent laboratories test materials for chemical emissions. Approved materials must conform to allowable levels identified in Section 01350. Meeting the standards of Section 01350 attest to our company's commitment to provide stylish solutions for the toughest floor covering problems in an environmentally sensitive way that is always considerate of the health and safety of building occupants."

The Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS), a consortium of public agencies and California utilities, incorporated Section 01350 into a best practices manual that has been adopted by several states in the nation. Compliance with Section 01350 also helps products qualify through other efforts that reference Section 01350 as parameters for defining environmentally preferable products (EPP). In particular, Section 01350 is included in the Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) criteria for EPP, which will be used by the State of California Division of the State Architect (DSA) for the development of its EPP database. Products that meet Section 01350 will be considered for inclusion.
