COMMENTARY
Examples of Acceptable Methods of Implementation and/or Compliance:
Builders should be ready to provide verification of compliance with any portion of this section to the enforcing agency. It is recommended to have methods of compliance ready and prepared so inspections are not failed because compliance materials are not available.
Product specifications should be easily accessible from the product and material suppliers.
Make these available at time of inspection. Products that are compliant with ARB’s regulation are required to be labeled and invoiced as such per Title 17, CCR, Section 93120.2.
Therefore, documenting compliance should be straightforward for compliant products.
Contractors should be cognizant that field inspectors can request to field verify that products meet the requirements of Section 4.504.5. It is recommended that contractors keep available any packaging and/or product labels for inspector verification until such time the inspector deems they are not required.
Hyperlinks to supporting sample documentation forms are included in Chapter 8. These forms may be used for documenting VOCs and formaldehyde content in adhesives, paints and coatings, flooring and composite wood products used in the structure. These forms should be supplemented by product labels, specifications, Material Safety Data Sheets, evidence of certifications, or other means acceptable to the local enforcing agency. These forms are samples and may be modified by the user as needed.
Chain of custody certifications.
Other methods acceptable to the enforcing agency.
