Templates for Environmental Product Declaration Development

The following documents provide structured guidance and resources for the development of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). They include templates for EPD development, verification reports, internal follow-up documentation, and machine-readable data. 

EPD development templates

These templates serve as voluntary best practice tools for developing EPDs.  
Please note: Templates do not override any mandatory requirements outlined in the applicable Product Category Rules (PCRs).

EPD internal follow-up report

This is a voluntary template for supporting the documentation of internal follow-up procedures during an EPD’s validity period. This procedure helps monitor changes that may necessitate an EPD update. The rules are defined in the General Programme Instructions (GPI); the template itself does not introduce any new requirements beyond those specified in the GPI.
