Guidelines for sharing EPDs on EPD owner websites

10th Jul 2026

A key responsibility of EPD Australasia is publishing EPDs to keep them compliant with international standards. Part of this responsibility is maintaining a publicly accessible database of up-to-date and credible EPDs for users involved in procurement and decision-making.

To ensure users have access to the latest official versions, we strongly encourage EPD owners not to host or self-publish PDF copies of their EPDs on their own websites or servers. Instead, please direct users to the official landing pages:

• their company profile page or the specific EPD listing on the EPD Australasia database, or
• the relevant EPD listing in EPD International’s EPD Library.

This avoids the risk of non-compliant outdated, invalid, or obsolete versions of EPDs circulating.

If EPD owners share EPDs on their website, include a clear statement (which may include a hyperlink) that directs users to the latest version of their EPDs on the links above.

For further information and the full rules, please refer to Section 5.2 of the General Programme Instructions.

External access to EPDs,  is permitted when EPD Australasia’s Terms of Service and EPD International’s General Terms of Use are respected, including via API requests.
