Certificate of Compliance – VOC Emissions
DC315 Paints and Coatings
International Fireproof Technology Inc.

International Fireproof Technology Inc. selected a sample representative of its DC315 Coatings, a water based fire proof paint, and submitted it for testing on February 2, 2010. Berkeley Analytical measured and evaluated the emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from this sample according to California Department of Health Services (CDHS) Standard Practice for the Testing of Volatile Organic Emissions from Various Sources Using Small Scale Environmental Chambers (CA/DHS/EHLB/R-174, 2004; also known as, chamber testing portion of CA Section 01350) and ASTM Standard Guide D 5116-06. Chemical sampling and analysis were performed following U.S. EPA Compendium Methods TO-1 and TO-17 and ASTM Standard Method D 5197-03.

Calculations were performed with the following standard classroom and office exposure parameters to project the concentrations of VOCs of concern resulting from the use of this product. The results of the test and the calculated concentrations for the classroom and office are presented in Berkeley Analytical laboratory report, 469-002-01A-Feb.24 2010.

Summary of Emission Test Results

VOC Emission Test Results – The pass/fail results of the test with respect to the procedures and
acceptance criteria given in the CA DHS Standard Practice and the modeling scenario(s) from the
Standard Practice detailed in Table 3 of this report are summarized in Table 1. These results are based
on predicted indoor air concentrations of individual VOCs in the modeled scenario(s). The concentration
limits are one half the non-cancer Chronic Reference Exposure Levels (CRELs) established by California
OEHHA for a list of toxic chemicals with the exception of formaldehyde, for which the guideline
concentration is one-half the indoor REL of 33 μg/m3, i.e., 16.5 μg/m3 as described in the CA DHS
Standard Practice and its Addendum 2004-01. Note that OEHHA published a new hazard assessment
for acetaldehyde in December 2008, setting the CREL for this compound at 140 μg/m3. These test
results are specific to the test item.

Table 1. Pass/fail results of test based on test method and identified modeling parameters.
Only detected individual VOCs with CRELs are listed.

No formaldehyde or other CREL VOCs were detected None:  PASS: Standard Classroom and/or Office Space

Based on these results, the tested product sample meets the VOC emission requirements for use in classroom and office environments as defined in the CA DHS Standard Practice. Thus, the testing requirements are met to qualify the product as a low-emitting material in the Collaborative for High Performance Schools rating system (CHPS Designed & CHPS Verified).
