Not necessarily.

In order to meet LEED v4 requirements for low-emitting materials, a product must be tested and determined compliant in accordance with CDPH Standard Method V1.1-2010.

There are many products that were certified in accordance with previous California Section 01350 methodologies. Those products may have met Section 01350 in the past, but don’t comply with the latest testing methodology that is referenced by LEED v4. It is important to check which method they comply with.

And that’s not all.

Additional requirements must be met for LEED, depending on the type of product. Wet-applied products must meet additional VOC content requirements; composite wood products must also be documented to have low formaldehyde emissions that meet the California Air Resources Board ATCM for formaldehyde requirements for ultra-low-emitting formaldehyde (ULEF) resins or no added formaldehyde resins; and new furniture and furnishing items must be tested in accordance with ANSI/BIFMA Standard Method M7.1–2011 and comply with ANSI/BIFMA e3-2011 Furniture Sustainability Standard, Sections 7.6.1 and 7.6.2.
