Registration fee

The registration fee is charged according to the number of registered EPDs per organisation account throughout one calendar year, starting from 1 January to 31 December. This price scheme provides organisations with a discounted fee for registering EPDs via our program within the same calendar year.

Registration Fees (per registered EPD)

EPD no. 1:	1000 EUR
EPD no. 2, 3, 4:	500 EUR each
EPD no. 5 - 99:	100 EUR each
EPD no. 100 and more:	50 EUR each

For example, if an organisation seeks to register 5 EPDs throughout one calendar year, the registration fee for the EPDs would be charged as follows:

€ 1000 (1st EPD) + € 500 (2nd EPD) + € 500 (3rd EPD) + € 500 (4th EPD) + € 100 (5th EPD) = € 2600

Invoices for EPD registrations are generated monthly.

Annual fee

The annual fee is a recurring payment invoiced annually per individual customer account while its EPDs are registered. The annual fee is based on the size of the organisation, independent of the number of EPDs published under the organisation.

This fee covers updates to published EPDs, including both editorial updates and updates that require re-verification.

Annual fee by organisation size:

Micro (1-10 employees):	500 EUR
SME (11-250 employees):	1000 EUR
MNE (>250 employees):	2500 EUR
Industrial associations:	1000 EUR

The annual fee is invoiced upon registration of the first EPD. For example, if the first EPD is registered in June, the invoice will cover the period from June of the current year to May of the following year. A new invoice will then be issued for each subsequent annual period.

Annual Fee Adjustment

The annual fee is reviewed and adjusted each year based on the Labour Cost Index (LCI) published by Eurostat, which reflects the development of salary-related expenses across the European Union.

Customers will be informed of any adjustments in accordance with the terms outlined in the Service Agreement
