The International EPD® System offers different types of EPDs to meet different market demands. The most common type of EPD is the single-company product-specific EPD, based on a valid PCR and describing the life cycle environmental impact of one or more products from a single company. In LEED v4, this is referred to as a "Product-specific Type III EPD".

There following special types of EPDs are offered in addition to the product-specific single-company EPD:

• Single-issue EPD (e.g. Climate declarations)
• Sector EPD (sometimes referred to elsewhere as "Average EPD", "Industry-wide EPD" or "generic EPD")
• Pre-certified EPD
• Machine-readable EPD

Contact the Secretariat to learn more about the different options.
