report verified by a third-party (an LCA expert you were not involved in the LCA) as per ISO 14040.  As soon as you EPD report is ready, the next step is to select your Program Operator such as CSA, UL Environment, SCS Global to approved and publish your EPD. An EPD should be compliant to ISO 14025 and needs to be third-party verified prior to publication.  I hope this helps and have a good day!

categories LEED v4 requires and provides you ISO 14040/44 compliant LCA data. Ours is One Click LCA, the module in question is LCA for LEED v4 (TRACI), and a number of LEED v4 projects went through to final certification and were awarded the LCA credits with our software.

Greetings We have a project where the heating plant consists of boilers using wooden pallets as an energy source. They’ll serve Heating and DHW on 100%. The pallets will be purchased from somewhere off-side. We’ve been checking the ACP EApc95 v3-LEED 2009 where it has been mentioned that there is a possibility to obtain up to 26 points. We are in possession of the latest update of ISO Standard 16246:2013, which is now named as ISO 52000-1:2017. We’ve also downloaded the spreadsheet EApc95 Energy Metric ACP. The questions still are: Is there some explanations or instructions on how to fill-in...

Hello, I'm looking for some clarification regarding verification of EPDs in respect to the MR credit. Specifically, does the 'external verification' require the verifier to be outside of the manufacturer and/or company preparing the EPD or just outside of the person/group/division creating the EPD but can still be within the same company? ISO 14025 specifies that the verifier can be either internal...
