Version 3 of the General Programme Instructions (GPI) has been published, setting a new set of rules for operation and management of the International EPD® System according to ISO 14025.
The update was made to stay relevant and up-to-date following developments in methodology, standardisation, research and applications of Environmental Product Declarations (EPD). They enable organisations in any country to communicate the environmental impacts of their products in a quantitative, credible, comparable and understandable way based on international standards.
Some of the new features of the new GPI are:
A transition period will be applied to allow a smooth transition to the new rules:
The transition period will last for at least 18 months, and the end of the transition period will be announced six months before it ends.
Work has also started to update the website, templates, etc., which will be introduced gradually.
