What is a pre-certified EPD?

Created by Danielle Crowter Elfving, Modified on Mon, 30 Sep at 11:02 AM by Ariadna Serra

A pre-certified EPD allows you to publish environmental information for a product that is covered by a PCR under development, in case the PCR is for a new product category. Pre-certification is not applicable for a product category in the event of an existing PCR (valid or expired). 


A pre-certified EPD shall be based on the current version of the General Programme Instructions (GPI) and be valid for at maximum one year. After this, the pre-certified EPD shall be updated based on the published PCR. Read more about pre-certified EPDs in Section 6.1.1 of version 4.0 of the GPI. 


As of version 5.0.0 of the GPI, pre-certified EPDs are no longer allowed.
