FAQs about MRc2 :

If a company provides an EPD but it does not mention on it that it meets the ISO standards required, can we still submit it for LEED or do we need to have that verification?

Where can I find a list of products with EPDs?

Do I have to submit the full EPD with my documentation for Option 1?

If I include a product in the BPDO EPDs credit, do I also have to include it in the BPDO Material Ingredients credit?

If I include a product with an EPD in Option 1, do I have to also include it in the scope of products that are part of the Option 2 calculation?

For the twenty products with EPDs, can I count multiple products from the same manufacturer?

How do you recognize each type of EPD?

international EPD?

My reinforcing steel supplier, which is a global company, sent me an EPD that is based on the american products (it seems to be downloaded from their US webpage). Can I use it for the steel that they produce locally in Poland? I know the location part of the EPD is not valid, but I expect that the production process shall be the same. Thanks!

Alicja, I do not believe this can be used in the way you are hoping. Even though the process will be pretty similar, the point of the location data is in part to capture the impacts of the local grid. Also, their raw materials may come from a different place. I believe you will need an EPD that is globally applicable or reflects the impacts in Poland. Others may chime in to correct me, but this is my understanding.
