Sustainable Carpet Assessment Standard (NSF/ANSI 140-2010)

The Sustainable Assessment for Carpet (NSF-140) is the first consensus national standard to evaluate the environmental attributes of carpet in the United States. NSF-140 recognizes sustainable carpet using a rating system for performance and quantifiable metrics in public health, energy efficiency, biobased or recycled materials, manufacturing, reclamation and end of life management.

 

NSF 140 recognizes sustainable carpet on three performance levels — silver, gold and platinum — using a rating system for performance and quantifiable metrics in public health and environment, energy and energy efficiency, biobased or recycled materials, manufacturing, reclamation and end of life management.
