A credible EPD for products the CPR doesn’t cover
If your product falls outside the Construction Products Regulation, there is no harmonised standard and no Declaration of Performance — yet your buyers still ask for verified environmental data. EPD+ gives you that proof: an independently verified declaration to EN ISO 14025, validated on the principles of EN ISO/IEC 17029.
- ✓ No DoP required — voluntary, but verifiable
- ✓ Built on EN ISO 14025 & EN ISO/IEC 17029
- ✓ Recognised in ESG, CSRD & green procurement
- ✓ Listed in a public register
The CPR governs construction products. For everything else, a verified EPD+ is the credible alternative to a self-declared claim.
The problem: no regulation, but the questions don’t stop
For products outside the CPR, buyers, retailers and ESG reporting still demand environmental evidence — but there is no official framework that delivers it. That gap is where unverified, self-declared claims thrive — and where greenwashing risk is highest.
No Declaration of Performance
Without a harmonised standard, there is no DoP and no CE route. Self-declarations carry little weight with demanding buyers.
Buyers still ask
Retail, contract and public buyers increasingly require carbon and life-cycle data — regardless of whether a product sits inside the CPR.
ESG & CSRD pressure
Scope 3 reporting needs primary product data. A verified EPD+ is audit-ready evidence; a marketing claim is not.
Who this is for
If your product is not covered by EN 15804 or another harmonised CPR standard, EPD+ is built for you.
Furniture & fit-out
Office, contract and residential furniture; joinery and interior fit-out elements.
Finishes & interiors
Flooring, surfaces, coatings, decorative and finishing products used beyond structural scope.
Chemicals & formulations
Adhesives, sealants, paints and specialty chemicals where buyers demand footprint data.
Industrial & technical goods
Components and manufactured goods outside the CPR that need credible LCA-based evidence.
Consumer & durable goods
Products marketed on sustainability, where a verified declaration beats a self-claim.
Packaging & materials
Materials and packaging assessed for recycled content and end-of-life performance.
How a voluntary EPD+ works
The same rigour as a construction EPD — applied to products the regulation forgot.
1 · LCA to EN ISO 14025
A life-cycle assessment is prepared to EN ISO 14040/14044 and the applicable Product Category Rules. We confirm the declared unit and scope for your product type.
2 · Independent validation (EN ISO/IEC 17029)
An independent verifier reviews the data and the draft declaration on the principles of EN ISO/IEC 17029. The decision is taken independently of the verification work.
3 · The EPD+ mark
On success the product carries the EPD+ mark — the signal that the data has passed third-party scrutiny, not just internal review.
4 · Public register
The verified declaration is published in a public register, so buyers and auditors can confirm it independently at any time.
Your product isn’t covered by the CPR. Your buyers don’t care.
