If a product is listed on the CHPS Low Emitting Materials Table (LEM) does it demonstrate compliance with the CA Department of Health Standard?

For a product to get on the CHPS low emitting materials list it has to show compliance with CA 01350 through a certification program or an independent laboratory report. So I while I do not believe a screenshot or statement that it is on the CHPS list will be enough of compliance for LEED, the manufacturer should have other means to show compliance with the criteria.
