additional requirements, unless justification for non-use exists. D. Acoustical Ceiling Tile - Bio-based Content: Minimum // ___ // percent biobased materials. SPEC WRITER NOTES: 1. Manufacturers offer different methods for anti-microbial treatments based treatment and panel-based treatment. 2. Coating-based consists of modifying the paint coating; panel-based incorporates treatment in the panel formula. The coating method is more common. 3. Verify availability of treatment methods with manufacturer. 4. Some mineral base products do not require antimicrobials in order to pass standard industry tests like ASTM C1338 and UL181. E. Provide acoustical ceiling tile with anti-microbial treatment to inhibit growth of mold and mildew. 1. Coating-Based Antimicrobial Treatment: Provide acoustical panels with face and back surfaces coated with antimicrobial treatment; and showing no mold or mildew growth when tested in accordance with ASTM D3273. 2. Panel-Based Antimicrobial Treatment: Provide acoustical panels manufactured with antimicrobial treatment in the panels. F. Steel Suspension System - Recycled Content: Recycled Content: Minimum // 5 // 10 // ___ // percent post-consumer recycled content, or minimum // 20 // 40 // ___ // percent pre-consumer recycled content at contractor’s option. G. VOC Emissions: Provide low VOC products that comply with the testing and product requirements of the California Department of Health Services' "Standard Practice for the Testing of Volatile Organic Emissions from Various Sources Using Small-Scale Environmental Chambers." 1.4 SUSTAINABILITY REQUIREMENTS A.
