Hello-
As I read the v4 MR requirement for EPD's, they apply to assembled products. Since a lot of millwork that arrives on a jobsite is an assembled product (cabinet, reception desk, etc), does this mean that in order to comply with the requirement, the millwork company has to develop EPDs? Or can the millworker submit EPDs on components, like MDF or particleboard, and satisfy the requirement?
Thanks-

I think it probably needs to be the finished product unless the cabinetry is site-assembled. Check out the MR section intro in the ref guide, under "Defining a Product."
Also, just to be clear, no manufacturer will be "submitting" any transparency documents to the project team. ALL transparency documents must be public in order to count toward the BPDO credits. The only exception is full C2C certification, where the "disclosure" piece is covered by disclosure to a third party.
