The Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) said it has expanded its "Green Label" air quality testing program to include adhesives. To receive Green Label Plus certification, adhesives used for flooring installations must undergo a 14-day test for 15 compounds. The products are then subsequently submitted for annual and semi-annual tests for specific compounds and total levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). CRI says that to ensure objectivity, the tests will be conducted by an independent lab.
