Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certificates are declarations that quantitatively evaluate and declare the environmental performance of a product or service, as described in ISO 14025, on the basis of the principles of ISO 14040 Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) standards.
EDPs are prepared independently with the information provided by manufacturers, and third-party verified EPDs consist of the technical description of products, details of the manufacturer, and LCA results. We use relevant standards for Environmental Product Declarations, i.e., ISO 14025, wherein they are referred to as “type III environmental declarations.”
Our standards
IMPORTANCE OF EPD CERTIFICATION:
- EN 15804-compliant EPD certificates are described in the sustainability criteria for buildings by Gulf Organization for Research & Development (GORD), Qatar.
- EPDs help fulfill the requirements related to the sustainable use of resources in manufacturing in order to obtain the credits mark for construction products.
- In green building certification systems such as LEED, BREEAM, and DGNB, EPD-certified construction products contribute extra points.
- Manufacturers can demonstrate environmental awareness as a corporate responsibility by declaring the environmental impact of their activities.
- LCA studies, which are the basis for EPD certification, do a detailed scrutiny of the environmental impact resulting from the manufacturing processes and supply chain, which allows for new strategies to be proposed.
