EPD process certification

With EPD Process Certification, the organisation may handle the management of EPD data involved in the verification procedure by themselves and issue EPDs without a third-party verifier being involved in each case.

To simplify the process for organisations in collecting data, conducting LCAs, and developing EPDs on a large scale, the International EPD System includes the option of EPD Process Certification. The rationale for certified process is that well-managed internal EPD routines make data collection and its conversion into EPDs more rational and less resource-intense and time-consuming.

With EPD Process Certification, the organisation may handle the management of EPD data involved in the verification procedure by themselves and issue EPDs without a third-party verifier being involved in each case.

An organisation that has an EPD Process Certification assessed and certified by an Accredited Certification Body on a regular basis, is allowed to:

• Develop and issue new EPDs for registration and publication in our EPD Library

• Update published EPDs

More information on EPD Process Certification could be found in the General Programme Instructions (GPI).
