posted in Environmental Product Declaration • read moreAn environmental product declaration (EPD) in general is a way of communicating the environmental properties of products. It can be used on all kinds of goods and services.
EPDs of construction products provide important information about products and their use. They help to choose materials for building and provide a basis for the documentation of the building materials used in a construction work (e.g. by means of the building certificate).
EPDs of construction products according to ISO 14025 are always based on life cycle assessment, LCA, performed according to the product category rules that apply to the product. The product category rules are based on EN 15804.
The EPDs can be used for LCA of buildings to help in ecological planning and construction of buildings.
RISE can help your company to efficient environmental communication. We have experience of both self-declared environmental claims, so-called type II declarations, and certified environmental product declarations of type III within the framework of ISO 14025.
