From the March, 2010, CRI newsletter: "California has officially specified ANSI/NSF 140 2007e Platinum level as its only environmental criteria for state purchasing. The decision replaces the state's previous California Gold standard for all state agency purchasing."
Could this be why CRI has established a platinum level in the SOA program? On a serious note, how many want to sell the State of California anything? California's IOU's aren't worth much in the real business world. Will that perspective become a reality in the real world of carpet cleaners? How much money can the CRI extract from the cleaning industry?
Perhaps carpet cleaners should be more picky and choosy with whom they do business. And I don't just mean the state of California. Think about that!
