A Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) is the carbon component of an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and a life cycle assessment (LCA). We register and publish PCFs in the form of EPD Climate Declarations. An EPD Climate Declaration assists an organisation in communicating their product’s upfront and life cycle carbon impacts. It is derived from an already verified EPD.
EPD Australasia creates the EPD Climate Declaration document in a standard format. To get an EPD Climate Declaration for your product, please request this on the EPD registration form. We do not charge for creating an EPD Climate Declaration at the time of registration. A small fee may apply if you want one created after an EPD is registered.
Organisations with EPDs independently verified to EN15804 are eligible for a streamlined product certification process as part of the Australian Government’s Climate Active Certification program.
The streamlined certification process is explained in the Technical Guidance Manual, which is available here
All construction product EPDs and EPD Climate Declarations registered and published by us also meet the requirements of the NABERS Embodied Carbon Tool.
✅ Clearly state compliance with ISO 14025 and EN 15804
