Steps

  1. Confirm which LEED version governs the project (v4 accepts CDPH Standard Method v1.1-2010; v4.1 requires CDPH Standard Method v1.2-2017) before requesting lab reports.
  2. Obtain a manufacturer statement/lab summary report less than 3 years old from an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited lab testing to CDPH v1.2.
  3. Verify the report covers the correct exposure scenario (e.g., classroom, private office) matching the product's actual use.
  4. Confirm TVOC range reporting (under 0.5, 0.5-5, or over 5 mg/m3 at 336 hours) is included per CDPH Section 8 product declaration requirements.
  5. Submit the compliant documentation set through the LEED project's materials credit tracking process.
