Ask questions or discuss product LCA & EPD assessments.
What’s the validity period of the LCA and EPD reports of a product?
Typically the validity period of an EPD is 5 years. There are exceptions for example for Design phase EPD where the validity is up to 36 months. EPD programs can have specific rules, for example according to EPD Hub General Program Instructions a Design EPD is valid for 18.

Hello, How can I utilize One Click LCA for product or service design e.g. T-shirts, Electronic devices, or Data centers to measure their environmental impacts through their lifespans?
Hi Hamed!
First of all, welcome to the One Click LCA community.
It seems we missed your post so apologies for that. Your question, however, is a quite broad one. Our offered solutions are specialized for the construction industry, while you can do assessments for any product, it’s optimized for construction products or buildings/infrastructure assessments.
- T-shirts → You could use our product carbon / LCA modules, as we will have the data for such products however as I mentioned it’s not optimized for this type of product.
- Electronic devices → Possible with our product carbon / LCA modules as this would fall under MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) products.
- Data Centers → This would be a building type of assessment and one of our building tools should be used for that.
An overview of all our solutions you can find on our website by either navigating to Design and Construction Software or Manufacturing software.
Hope this helps!
