Hello Mark,
Thank you for your reposnse, and for pointing out this discrepancy in CRI's TARR requirements. I will check with the CRI Technical department and resolve this issue. I will corrent the post and inform you of what I find out. If you have any further questions, you may contact me at brichmod(at)carpet-rug.org

Why do the TARR values on the current webpage for TARRs (http://www.carpet-rug.org/commercial-customers/selecting-the-right-carpet/quality-and-performance/retention-rating-guidelines.cfm) still conflict with TARR values in the fact sheet linked to this blog?

For example, in the fact sheet, the TARR for classrooms is 3.0 but on the webpage, it is 3.5.

This is a significant problem for our interior designers and our bidders - especially since the link to the fact sheet on TARRs does NOT appear on the curent webpage for downloadable fact sheets (http://www.carpet-rug.org/carpet-and-rug-industry/downloable-fact-sheets.cfm)!

The date on this blog (October 23rd, 2009) is the ONLY hint that it might be more up-to-date than the webpage (- the fact sheet on TARRs is undated!).

A point of contact at CRI would also help (- instead of deferring questions to individual members!).
