Annual Fee Adjustment for 2026


Starting in 2026, the annual fee for EPD owners will be adjusted by 3%, following a new internal routine that aligns with the Labour Cost Index (LCI) published by Eurostat. This ensures transparency and consistency with actual labour cost developments.
The Secretariat of the International EPD System announces that the annual fee for 2026 will be adjusted by 3%, in accordance with a new internal routine designed to reflect changes in labour costs.
The adjustment is based on the Eurostat Labour Cost Index (LCI), a transparent and reliable benchmark that tracks salary-related expenses across the EU. The LCI serves as a fair reference point for personnel costs — a key component of the services provided by EPD International.
As stated in the Service Agreement, the annual fee will continue to be reviewed once per year, and any future adjustments will be communicated at least 30 days in advance. This approach ensures that the fee structure remains fair, consistent with cost developments, and aligned with international standards.
For any questions, please contact the Secretariat of the International EPD System.
