Under Further Explanation, add a new section as follows:
"Green Seal
As a multi-attribute standard, Green Seal’s paints and coatings standard includes criteria for material health optimization in addition to criteria for efficacy, sustainable packaging, and labeling. It also includes stringent limits for VOC content and emissions that meet LEED v4.1 IEQ credit: Low-Emitting Materials requirements.
GreenSeal standard for Paints, Coating, Stains, and Sealers (GS-11, Edition 4.0) has been approved for Material Ingredients - Option 2. Certified products that meet LEEDv4.1 optimization criteria [i.e. they do not include GHS Reproductive toxins (categories 1 and 2)] are eligible to be counted as 1 product. The GS-11 standard establishes environmental, health, and performance requirements for certain architectural coatings that are intended to be applied on-site, and for stains, finishes, and sealers.

Under Additional Guidance - Advanced Inventory and Assessment Pathway (new for v4.1), add the following as a new third bullet and sub-bullet :
"Green Seal. Products certified under the Standard for Paints, Coatings, Stains and Sealers (GS-11, Edition 4.0) that meet LEEDv4.1 Material Ingredients Credit: Option 2 – Material Ingredient Optimization criteria [i.e. they do not include GHS Reproductive toxins (categories 1 and 2)]. Qualifying products will include the following language on their certificates and in their Green Seal-certified product directory listings to indicate compliance with LEED v4.1 criteria:
o “Eligible for LEEDv4.1 Material Ingredients Credit: Option 2 – Material Ingredient Optimization“

Under International Tips, revise the first bullet and add a second as follows:
"o End use products and materials have fully inventoried chemical ingredients and each substance has been screened against the Authorization List – Annex XIV, the Restriction list – Annex XVII and the SVHC candidate lists:
 Restriction List: https://echa.europa.eu/substances-restricted-under-reach
 Authorization list: https://echa.europa.eu/authorisation-list
 SVHC Candidate list: https://echa.europa.eu/candidate-list-table
o Products must not contain any intentionally added ingredients found on the REACH Restricted and Authorization lists. Any ingredients in the product found on the Candidate list are not included at concentrations above 100ppm.

Replace the language under Guidance for Manufacturers Providing Documentation for the International ACP with the following:
"REACH Optimization: Manufacturers shall provide documentation that confirms a product has had a full ingredient inventory of all intentionally added substances found in the end use product and that a REACH assessment has been conducted. The REACH compliance documentation shall state that no intentionally added ingredients are present in the product that are listed on the REACH Restriction and Authorization lists. Further, the manufacturer documentation shall verify that any ingredients found on the REACH Candidate list are not present in concentrations above 100ppm.
Acceptable documentation:
• Transparency report: Standalone transparency report that provides a complete inventory and shows compliance with the REACH International ACP credit requirements. Documentation must include a unique document ID number for the report, list the product type, product name(s) and/or product line(s) covered by the report, date of creation of the report, and expiration date for the report (a maximum of 5 years from the date of creation).
OR
• Manufacturer Attestation: Standalone letter from the product manufacturer declaring that the product meets the REACH International ACP credit requirements. No inventory is necessary. This letter must include a signature from someone at the company knowledgeable of product formulations and include their name, job title, and date of signature. The letter must also include the product type, product name(s) and/or product line(s) covered by the attestation letter. Manufacturer letters shall expire when product formulations change, or 3 years from the date of letter signature."

Revise the language under Connection to Ongoing Performance to read as follows:
"LEED O+M credit Purchasing: products meeting the above requirements can help achieve the MR credit Purchasing.
