On a project where the relevant CALGreen finish requirements apply, an adhesive is substituted without VOC documentation. What is the appropriate review?

Correct Answer

D) Verify the applicable VOC evidence and obtain the required substitution approval.

Verify the applicable product-category VOC requirements and the project’s substitution process before approval. A generic approval label does not replace evidence; VOC content and chamber-tested emissions are distinct measures.
