EPD Development Steps

EPD Development Steps  

 

The Technical Office of EPD Tunisia will give you the full guidance to create and publish your EPD. you can contact us at: contact@epd-Tunisia.com

Developing an Environmental Product Declaration  in the International EPD® System includes the following main steps:

1. Selecting the relevant PCR to your product  

Choosing the appropriate Product Category Rules (PCR) is crucial before creating an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). The selected PCR should be listed in the International EPD System and valid during the verification process. You can find all PCRs at EPD Portal | PCR Library  

Guidance on finding the correct PCR can be obtained by contacting the Secretariat at pcr@environdec.com

2. Conducting LCA according to the PCR  

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a pivotal step in EPD development. Organizations can conduct the LCA study in-house or seek assistance from an expert consultant in LCA and environmental declarations. After that, LCA has to get verification to be transferred into EPD format.

You can find a list of LCA Consultants on this page: EPD and LCA Consultants  

3. Compiling data and information in the EPD Reporting format
