Verification of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) – how strict should it be? [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2022 The verification of Environmental product declarations (EPDs) is often performed by an expert, who walks through pre-made standard checklists. As verification is not strictly defined by the EN 15804 standard, it can be performed in a number of different ways.

Using standards to maximise the benefit of digitisation of construction product Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) to reduce Building Life Cycle Impacts [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2022 Introduction: Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) provide standardised environmental information about the impact of making, using, and disposing of products – their embodied impacts and many are now provided digitally for use in Building LCA. Recognising the need to significantly reduce the embodied impact of our buildings, ISO/TC59/SC17 WG3 has ...
