Create an EPD

EPD Australasia does not create EPDs. The General Programme Instructions define the detailed requirements for developing EPDs. It broadly includes the following steps:

1. Find a relevant PCR for the product
2. Perform an LCA study based on the PCR
3. Compile the EPD Report
4. Verification or Process Certification
5. Registration and Publication

Many companies use LCA/EPD consultants or an approved, pre-verified LCA or EPD tool to assist them through this process. A link to lists of LCA-EPD consultants is available here. A list of approved pre-verified LCA and EPD tools is available here.

An EPD is normally valid for three or five years, after which the declaration must be revised, reverified and republished. Regardless of the validity, a published EPD must be updated if one of the environmental indicators has worsened by more than 10% compared with the published data.

If you are considering creating an EPD, we recommend you contact us as early as possible to provide guidance and information.
