level™ Training Tour Launched in North America

Two certification bodies - NSF International and Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) - along with BIFMA, are pleased to announce 2-hour training sessions (.2 CEU credits) that will provide the architect, interior designer and furniture specifier with an understanding of how level™ certification works to make the identification of “green” products easier.

The training sessions are being provided at no-charge but registration is limited and required for all sessions. Each session will provide a thorough review and understanding of this multi-attribute standard and the level™ certification program. The level™ mark is awarded to products based on performance against assessment criteria in the follow areas:

- Materials and Natural Resources
