Our Floor Score
All Amtico International’s flooring products meet the Floorscore standard for indoor air quality
Indoor air quality is an important issue because most people spend as much as 90% of their time indoors at home, work, or school.
The FloorScore program, developed by the US Resilient Floor Covering Institute (RFCI) in conjunction with Scientific Certification Systems (SCS), tests and certifies flooring products for compliance with indoor air quality emission requirements adopted in California.
A flooring product bearing the FloorScore seal has been independently certified by SCS to comply with the volatile organic compound emissions criteria of the California Section 01350 program. These flooring products qualify for use in high performance schools and office buildings in California. Thus, products with the FloorScore seal have passed a third party certification process and are recognized as contributing to good indoor air quality in order to protect human health.
FloorScore is a voluntary program that complies with the IAQ performance requirements for low emitting building materials as independently established by SCS-EC-10-2004, which includes compliance with the California Section 01350 requirements for listed VOCs in schools and state office buildings.
