Prior to November, 1999, these Official Flooring Grading Rules covered the standards and grades for solid unfinished hardwood strip and plank flooring in Oak, Beech, Birch, Hard Maple, Hickory/Pecan, Ash, and Prefinished Oak. In January, 1999,NOFMA began a program for certification of Engineered Flooring products. The program involved establishing grading rules for engineered flooring.
