Every environmental product declaration (EPD) needs to be verified by an independent third party before it can be published. This ensures the accuracy and reliability of the EPD and that it conforms to the requirements of the relevant Product Category Rules (PCR). However, the verification process can be very slow as companies may face long rounds of reviews and amendments until the verifier is satisfied that the process, data, and documentation comply with the relevant EPD standards and PCR.
Pre-verification means that the pre-verified EPD tools themselves have been independently verified to ensure they have the right data sets and calculation models for a specific PCR.
The One Click LCA EPD Generator can save significant time and money in the EPD creation process. The data the pre-verified tool generates for the relevant PCR is not subject to further verification.
So, if you need to create an EPD with the Pre-verified EPD Generator tool there are only three steps you need to follow:
- Collect the relevant data – aided by custom templates and user-friendly tools.
- Conduct a life cycle assessment (LCA) – this is automated by our software, you just need to adjust the data.
- Write a background report. We provide report templates that meet the reporting requirements of your PCR. You just need to edit certain fields with the specifics of your product and add relevant details such as images and logos. In addition, we can internally review your report to minimize errors and reduce verification time.
