EPD

Environmental product declaration

Definition from ISO 14025 / ISO FDIS 21930:

  • Type III environmental declaration (EPD) provides:
  • quantified environmental data using predetermined

parameters and.. additional environmental information.

  • The predetermined parameters are based on the ISO

14040 series of Life Cycle Assessment standards

  • The additional environmental information may be

quantitative or qualitative

EPD: an information management tool

  • Communicate environmental and technical information along the supply

chain

  • Give input to building assessments
  • Input to product development
  • Backup for communicating environmental performance to the market

EPD: an information management tool

  • Communicate environmental and technical information along the supply

chain

  • Give input to building assessments: LC information, indoor air, soil & water
  • Input to product development
  • Backup for communicating environmental performance to the market

Contents of EPD ISO 14025, ISO FDIS 21930

Project report 16 pages EPD 2 pages

  • Product description, mandatory

– Function, service life information – Material content

  • Life Cycle Indicators, mandatory

– Resource input/output – Energy input/output – Final Waste output – Environmental impacts

  • Additional information, optional

– Technical data about performance during

  • Construction: e.g. transports vertical and horizontal, ancillary materials
  • use:

– e.g. energy related according to EPBD – Maintenance/repair, replacement; comfort related/noise, lighting, etc. – emissions to indoor air, water & soil according to CEN TC 351,

  • End of life: re-use, recycling, waste management

– Risk related information, e.g. toxicity, nature conservation

3 Levels of EPD development

Parties involved Level of action Activity

Program operator: Industrial associations, -societies, companies; Interested parties: authorities, NGO, Science, consumers; Verifiers: LCA- and branch experts;

Program Organisation of:

PCR-development, Invitation of experts and interested parties; Verification of PCR and EPD; Registration of PCR and EPD; Branch experts: Industry, LCA, Interested parties: competitors, authorities, NGO, Science, consumers;

PCR

Definition of PCR: Goal and scope of LCA including rules for e.g.: system borders, functional unit, allocation, cut-off, calculation, Data quality for specific and background data; Producer of the declared product in co-operation with the LCA experts.
