- Product is inherently nonemitting, salvaged, or reused.
Salvaged and reused materials Product is more than one year old at the time of use.
If another product (including but not limited to adhesives, sealants, paints, and coatings) is applied to the inherently nonemitting material and has a separate manufacturer and cost, to the end user, from the original material, the applied product may be documented as a separate product and meet the low-emitting criteria applicable to the applied product, even if applied offsite.
If another product is applied to the inherently nonemitting/salvaged/reused material and does not have a separate manufacturer and cost, to the end user, the result is considered a new finished product that no longer qualifies as an inherently nonemitting material and is subject to the VOC emissions evaluation criteria.
