An Environmental Product Declaration is a standardised, third-party verified document that shows a product’s environmental impact throughout its entire life cycle — from raw material to disposal.
Creat your EPDsThe EPD documents a set of standardised environmental indicators across the product’s entire life cycle.
All EPDs are developed in accordance with ISO 14025 and EN 15804+A2 — ensuring that documents are comparable across products and manufacturers.
From manufacturer to buyer — the EPD is a common language for environmental impact across the entire value chain.
EPD is becoming a market requirement — not just a competitive advantage.
Traditionally the process took 6–12 months. With LCA.no it’s a four-step process you run yourself.
A question we often get: “Can the EPDs you develop be approved as third-party verified?” The answer is yes — and here’s why.
All EPDs delivered through LCA.no are developed in accordance with ISO 14025, EN 15804 and the requirements of the relevant programme operator — for example EPD-Global. Our LCA team handles data collection, life cycle analysis and documentation.
LCA.no works closely with approved verifiers and ensures that all documentation required for verification is in place. Once the analysis is complete, the EPD is sent to the verifier and then to the programme operator for publication.
LCA.no’s methodology and practice have been reviewed and confirmed by EPD-Global. All EPDs developed through us can be published as third-party verified, as long as they meet the requirements of the relevant Product Category Rules (PCR).
📄 Read the confirmation from EPD-Global →Third-party verification is essential for an EPD to be used in public procurement and to document climate and environmental impact in compliance with regulations. It provides credibility, transparency and ensures that the methodology meets industry standards.
The terms are often used interchangeably, but they mean two different things.
LCA is the underlying, systematic mapping of all environmental impacts across the product’s life cycle. It’s the methodological tool — defined in ISO 14040/14044.
An LCA can be used internally and does not have to result in a public EPD.
The EPD is the publicly published document that presents the results of an LCA in a standardised and comparable format — according to ISO 14025 and EN 15804+A2.
You always need an LCA to create an EPD.
The EU is introducing the Digital Product Passport (DPP) through the ESPR regulation from 2027. The DPP will require products to carry digital documentation of environmental impact, materials and recyclability across the entire value chain.
Over 5,000 manufacturers in 30 countries have already produced more than 10,000 EPDs with LCA.no.
