Green Star FAQs
Do I need to provide evidence of testing and testing methods if I have a GECA certificate?
No. Evidence of testing and testing methods are not required for the 'Indoor Pollutants' Product Certification pathway, if you have product certificates that are from GBCA Recognised Product Certification Schemes and standards nominated on the GBCA website: https://new.gbca.org.au/product-certification-schemes/
The Product Certification pathway is outlined within Green Star - Design & As Built v1.2 and Green Star - Interiors v1.2, and applies to both criteria in this credit. This approach can also be applied to earlier versions of these rating tools, as well as the 'VOC', 'Reduced Exposure to Pollutants' credits in Legacy Green Star rating tools.
