EPD template – Construction products (EN 15804:A2)
EPD template – All other product categories
This template is intended as a voluntary best practice template. The template does not override the mandatory requirements as set by the PCR.
Companies creating EPDs may perform the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) themselves or benefit from the assistance of an external LCA practitioner if they do not have the in-house expertise. The list is offered as an information service without any warranties in order for companies and consultancies to more easily find each other. Consultancies not on this list or in-house experts may also perform the LCA.
EPDs must be independently verified before registration and publication. There are two types of verifiers that may carry out this process: accredited certification bodies and approved individual verifiers. The verifiers work independently in seeking out assignments and arrange contacts with potential clients without the involvement of EPD Turkey and The International EPD System Secreteriat. Only verifiers currently listed on this page are approved to carry out EPD verification.
