My understanding is that they have to be Green Seal certified. Is there an alternative EPA standard that also achieves LEED compliance? Is there a list that explicitly states what standard (Green Seal certified, etc.) each type of cleaning product needs to achieve to comply with LEED?

I could not find an answer to this question explicitly stated in the ID LEED Credit Catalog or on the USGBC site.
