- Combined system: [flooring + underlayment] — ΔIIC [___] per ASTM E2179 (test summary attached)

Assembly calculation:

Building's existing floor/ceiling IIC (per building records): [___]

Tested contribution of flooring system (ΔIIC): + [___]

Expected assembly rating: [___]

The underlayment is natural cork — fire-inhibiting, with no toxic off-gassing in combustion, and GreenGuard Gold / ECO Institut certified for indoor air quality (certificates attached). Installation will be floating (no adhesive to the slab) with perimeter expansion gaps per the manufacturer's instructions, by [installer name / the owner], beginning [date] and completing within [___] days.

I would be pleased to provide further documentation or samples on request.
