Publish an EPD your customers and regulators will accept
A verified, comparable, programme-operator-format Type III Environmental Product Declaration, built from a full LCA and aligned to ISO 14025 and EN 15804+A2.
- ISO 14025
- EN 15804+A2
- ISO 21930
Typical timeline: Typically 3 to 6 months from kick-off to publication, depending on data availability and the PCR.
An EPD is a standardised, independently verified summary of a product's life cycle environmental performance, published in the format of a recognised programme operator. It allows your customers, your procurement counterparties, and the public to compare your product fairly with others in the same category, against the same rules, the Product Category Rules, or PCRs.
Why it matters
Public-sector tenders, BREEAM and LEED credits, large-customer procurement, and a growing number of regulations (CSRD, ESPR, CBAM) now expect or require an EPD or equivalent product-level environmental evidence. An EPD is the document that turns your internal numbers into something an external party can trust.
The deliverable
- 1A pre-EPD gap assessment if you already have an LCA.
- 2A full LCA built or refreshed to the relevant Product Category Rules.
- 3The EPD document formatted for your chosen programme operator.
- 4Support through the third-party verification step.
- 5A registered and published EPD, ready to share.
How an EPD project runs
- 01
Scope & PCR
We confirm the correct product category rules and programme operator for your product and market.
- 02
Data collection
We gather production data and complete or refresh the underlying LCA to the PCR's requirements.
- 03
Modelling
We compile the results into the prescribed EPD modules and format.
- 04
Verification
An independent verifier reviews the EPD against ISO 14025 and the PCR, a step we can also perform for other consultancies' EPDs.
- 05
Publication
We manage registration with the programme operator so your declaration is published and searchable.
Common questions
Product Category Rules define exactly how an EPD for your product type must be calculated and reported. We identify the correct PCR; if none exists, we advise on the options.
EPDs are typically valid for five years, after which they must be reviewed and updated. We can manage renewals.
Yes, independent EPD verification is a distinct service we offer, including for declarations prepared by other consultancies and software tools.
