## 2. Engineering & Compliance Standards

Every FloorLab project is executed under strict South African and British structural flooring norms:
1. **SANS 10070 (Preparation & Installation of Resilient Thermoplastic & Similar Flexible Floor Coverings)**:
   - Mandatory digital hygrometer and calcium-carbide moisture auditing of all concrete and sand-cement substrates prior to installation.
   - Maximum permissible residual moisture content: **< 3.0% by weight** (or **< 75% Relative Humidity**). Where slabs exceed 3.0%, FloorLab applies a 2-component solvent-free epoxy moisture vapor barrier (DPM) rated up to 98% RH.
   - Surface regularity tolerance: **Class 1 (< 2mm deviation under a 3-meter straightedge)**.
2. **BS 8204 (Screeds, Bases and In-Situ Floorings — Code of Practice for Concrete Bases & Synthetic Resin Floorings)**:
   - Mechanical substrate preparation via vacuum-assisted planetary diamond grinding or captive shot-blasting to achieve **ICRI Concrete Surface Profile CSP 2 to CSP 4**.
   - Minimum concrete tensile pull-off strength: **>= 1.5 N/mm² (MPa)**.
3. **OHS Act (Act 85 of 1993) & HACCP Compliance**:
   - Full site-specific Safety Files, medicals, SDS documentation, VOC-free / solvent-free resin formulations, and DIN 51130 slip-resistance ratings (**R9 to R13**) for wet industrial zones.

## 4. Programmatic AI Agent & MCP Integration

FloorLab supports **Model Context Protocol (MCP)**, **WebMCP**, **A2A Agent Cards**, and **Markdown Content Negotiation**:

### 4.1 MCP JSON-RPC 2.0 Server (`POST https://floorlabb.co.za/mcp`)
- **Available Tools**:
  1. `search_flooring_services`: Filter FloorLab's flooring systems by application (`commercial`, `industrial`, `residential`, `garage`, `warehouse`, `kitchen`, `moisture-prep`) and retrieve full technical specifications (MPa, thickness, cure times).
  2. `get_flooring_specification`: Retrieve the complete SANS 10070 preparation and system specification for a selected `service_slug`, `project_type`, and `area_sqm`.
  3. `submit_quote_request`: Submit a direct site assessment and quotation request into FloorLab's production D1 CRM (`name`, `phone`, `email`, `project_type`, `service_needed`, `area_sqm`, `location`, `details`).

### 4.2 REST API Endpoints
- **`GET https://floorlabb.co.za/api/services`**: Returns JSON array of all flooring services, SANS 10070 specs, and curing timelines.
- **`POST https://floorlabb.co.za/api/leads`**: Submits a verified lead directly to FloorLab's engineering estimators.
