LEED

Has Water Efficiency Label

The product (typically a plumbing fixture, fitting, or irrigation control) has been independently certified to a published water-efficiency specification, using measurably less water than a standard product in its category while meeting performance criteria. This is a use-phase water claim about the product itself — distinct from site or corporate water stewardship claims.

Has Environmental Product Declaration

The source claims that an EPD exists for the product, product family, or declared product scope.

Has Health Product Declaration

The source claims that an HPD exists for the product, product family, or declared product scope.

Has Product-Specific EPD

The source claims a product-specific Environmental Product Declaration exists for the declared product scope.

Has CDPH Low-Emitting Material Test

The source claims low-emitting material testing under CDPH Standard Method or equivalent chamber-testing language.

Claims Ingredient Disclosure Threshold Met

The source claims that at least a declared threshold of product ingredients has been disclosed for the stated product scope.

Claims Recycled Content

The source claims the product contains recycled material under a stated recycled-content type, percentage, scope, and calculation basis.

Has Responsible Forestry Certification

The source claims wood content or a product scope is covered by FSC, PEFC, SFI, or equivalent responsible forestry certification.

Claims No Added Urea Formaldehyde

The source claims the composite wood product was manufactured without added urea-formaldehyde resins (NAUF) or without any added formaldehyde (NAF).

Claims Low VOC Content

The source claims the product's VOC *content* (grams per litre, typically for wet-applied products) is below a stated regulatory limit — distinct from chamber-tested VOC *emissions*.

Claims Low Embodied Carbon

The source claims the product's embodied carbon is low or reduced relative to some baseline — meaningful only when the baseline, scope, and GWP figure are stated.

Claims Bio-Based Content

The source claims a stated share of the product derives from biological (plant or animal) rather than fossil feedstocks.

Claims Rapidly Renewable Material

The source claims the product is made from materials harvested on a short rotation (classically under 10 years — bamboo, cork, wool, linoleum inputs).

Has Cradle to Cradle Certification

The source claims the product holds Cradle to Cradle certification at some level (Bronze through Platinum).

Has GREENGUARD Gold Certification

The source claims the product holds GREENGUARD or GREENGUARD Gold certification for low chemical emissions.

Has BIFMA LEVEL Certification

The source claims the furniture product holds LEVEL certification under ANSI/BIFMA e3.

Has Responsible Material Sourcing Certification

A raw material in the product was extracted, farmed, or produced at sites independently audited against a sector-specific responsible-production standard (covering issues like environmental management, community impact, labour rights, and governance), and — where a chain-of-custody scope exists — tracked from those sites into the product. This is a claim about how the material was sourced and produced, not about the finished product's carbon footprint, chemical content, or overall environmental impact.

Has Chemical Hazard Assessment Certification

The product's intentionally added chemicals were systematically assessed against a published hazard or ingredient-safety benchmark by an independent programme, with chemicals of highest concern excluded per that programme's criteria. This proves an assessment was performed and passed — it is not a claim that the product is free of hazards.

Has Product Energy-Efficiency Certification

The product model meets a recognized energy-performance specification for its category, confirmed by a programme registry or third-party certification. This signals lower in-use energy consumption — it says nothing about the product's materials, chemistry, embodied carbon, or the manufacturer's practices.

LEED Contribution Hint

The source uses LEED-oriented language that may indicate relevant product source but does not support project credit achievement.
