Pricing

The management of the EPD development process, from registration until publication, is handled on the EPD Portal. There you will find an overview of your EPDs and your organisation details. Please ensure all company details under the invoice info section on the Portal are up to date, as invoices are addressed according to the information provided there.

Invoicing process

Invoices are sent via email to the address listed in the designated section. Organisations have until the 25th of the invoice month to request changes. Reminders are sent to the email addresses listed in the company settings. If there is a prolonged payment overdue without response, invoices will be forwarded to external collectors.

Payment terms

Payments are due within 30 days from the date the invoice is issued by EPD International AB. EPD International AB, as the program operator, has the right to deregister EPDs if the registration fee and/or annual fee is not paid in due time; or if the EPDs are not in conformance with the requirements stated in the General Program Instructions of the International EPD System and/or EPD International AB’s guidelines, directive and policies for EPD services.

Currencies and exchange rates

• All European companies will be invoiced in EUR

• All Swedish companies will be invoiced in SEK

• Companies in all other countries may choose between EUR and USD

The exchange rate applied is the one provided by Riksbanken, Sweden's central bank, at the time of invoicing.

Payment method

The only accepted payment method is bank transfer. If you encounter any difficulties in completing your payment, please reach out to the Secretariat for further assistance.

Value Added Taxes (VAT)

The prices specified are exclusive of VAT and are subject to potential revision.

For Swedish companies, additional VAT will be added to the invoice. Furthermore, the prevailing exchange rate provided by Riksbanken, Sweden's central bank, will be applied at the time of invoicing.

For international transactions, VAT exemption applies. European companies are required to provide their VAT numbers for organisation registration. The invoice address and VAT information provided should be those of the EPD company owner, not the consultant or verifier, and ensuring the invoicing details on our Portal are up-to-date is the responsibility of the EPD company owner.

Updates of EPD

Updates of registered EPDs during their validity (e.g., editorial updates) or after they have expired are included in the annual fee.

Deregistration of EPD

Concerning deregistering EPDs, the organisation is responsible for notifying the Secretariat with a 30-day notice period to deregister their EPDs. If an invoice is already generated before the notification of the termination, no fees will be refunded to the EPD Owner, and the invoice must be paid in accordance with the Service Agreement.
