We now have a draft of GPI 5.0.0 that is ready for feedback in an open consultation round.
You are welcome to provide input to the draft of 5.0.0 GPI until 2023-12-17. The main changes compared to the GPI 4.0 are:
- New structure of the GPI and EPD content
- Changes and clarifications in the handling of GPI updates
- New and clarified rules on pre-verified LCA and EPD tools
- Changes and clarifications to LCA rules
- Changes and clarifications of the PCR development process, including on PCR content: only deviating, additional and specified rules should be in the PCR, for all other rules references shall be done to the GPI
*What is the GPI?
The General Programme Instructions (GPI) is the document that manages the structure and operations of the International EPD System. All EPD programmes have one which is regularly updated.*
