Our project will be supplied bricks from Austria and potentially rebar from Turkey or Bosnia and Herzegovina. Both the bricks and the rebar have EN15804/ISO14025 Type III verified EPDs, but they written in the language of the country of the products' origin (Turkish/Bosnian/Serbian and German). We do not have the resources to translate these documents. Will GBCI accept these verified EPDs as 2 of the 20 we need to earn the first point for this credit or should projects in Europe simply forget about earning credits with evidence in multiple languages?

Hi Ward,
I have sent documents in languages other than english to USGBC before without translating them entirely and they have been accepted. You have to make sure to highlight and translate the relevant passages.
