On April 5, 2016, the US Green Building Council issued an
interpretation of the LEED v4 credit, Building Product Disclosure and Optimization—Material
Ingredients, Option 1, that includes clarification of how the Health Product
Declaration 2.0 can be used to meet the requirements of the credit (http://www.usgbc.org/node/10149113). The interpretation confirms use of the Nested
Materials and Substances format, with thresholds stated for each material, and
the Basic Inventory format, with thresholds stated for the product as a
whole. It also adds a new compliance
alternative, based on the Nested Materials and Substances format, with
thresholds based on the product as a whole.
