The International EPD® System is a global programme for type III environmental declarations operating in accordance with ISO 14025. Via our General Programme Instructions, we operate a system to verify and register EPDs and maintain a publically-available library of EPDs and PCRs. For construction products in Europe, the programme additionally aligns with the European standard EN 15804, and we are a founding member of the ECO Platform. The programme is open for companies and organisations in any country.
Our logotype
The logotype symbolises a yardstick, a standardized tool for objective measurement. An EPD presents the environmental perfomance of products and services in an objective and standardized way.
The International EPD® System has, as a main objective, the ambition to enable and support organisations in any country to communicate quantified environmental information on the life cycle of their products in a credible, comparable, and understandable way. This is done by:
The scope of the programme includes any type of product1 from any organisation in any country where there is a market demand to communicate its life cycle-based environmental information. The resulting EPDs are open to a number of applications and target audiences, including but not limited to business-to-business and business-toconsumer communication. It is the responsibility of the company making any claims to ensure that they are compliant with national laws or regulations in the relevant geographical area.
The scope of an EPD in the programme may be both for the product of a single company or as the average product of companies in a specific sector and geographical area: a “sector EPD”. Similar products from the same company may be included in the same EPD if certain requirements are met. “Single-issue EPDs”, such as climate declarations, may be published in parallel to an EPD as a complementary communication format.
EPDs are based on Product Category Rules providing rules, requirements, and guidelines for a defined product category. As an option, a “pre-certified EPD” may be published during PCR development.
