VCUs can be tagged with additional certifications if they meet the requirements of participating standards or programs. Please contact a participating standard or program directly for details on their requirements.
To have VCUs tagged with additional certifications, projects must submit all documents required by the participating standard before requesting VCU issuance. This is essential to ensure VCUs are properly tagged. Note that the period covered by the certification must be greater than or equal to the VCS verification period.
