Also how about JIS K 5601-5-1, testing methods for paint componemts to determine VOC content in paints using gas chromatography analysis?

As far as I know, LEED does not reference a specific standard for testing VOC emissions of paints. LEED simply sets a VOC limit using Green Seal standards.

Not really. Reference is made to limit values in GS-11 (version May 1993) - but these limit values are linked to the corresponding testing method. ISO 11890-2 measures in a different manner (in my eyes in a better manner), leading to different results, mostly higher, than with old GS-11 method. This issue will hopefully be overcome in LEED 2012.
