Only individual verifiers approved by EPD Australasia may carry out individual EPD verification. Only accredited certification bodies may carry out EPD process certification. This ensures the consistency and credibility of EPDs registered with EPD Australasia.
All verifiers are required to demonstrate expertise and meet competency requirements in Life Cycle methodologies and critical review of LCA studies, as defined in the General Programme Instructions.
