EPD+ Verification Snapshot

Note: EPD+ does not replace the mandatory verification but adds a supplementary layer of primary data assurance.

Built on Trust & Standards

Operated by Multicert in accordance with ISO 14025 and emerging CPR data requirements.

International Recognition

Verification is performed according to ISO 14025 principles, ensuring your EPD+ mark is recognized by auditors and building schemes globally.

Qualified Verifiers

Executed by independent LCA experts with demonstrated sector experience and full independence from the LCA practitioner.

Confidentiality (NDA)

All primary evidence is handled under strict NDA. We verify the technical truth (meters, invoices) without publishing sensitive recipes.

Targeted Data Assurance

We focus effort on the primary data hotspots that drive 70-90% of your footprint.

A

Material Inputs (A1)

Verification of Bill of Materials (BOM) against purchase records, delivery notes, and supplier-specific datasets.

Audit Trail
B

Energy Data (A3)

Reconciliation of energy consumption with utility invoices, meter logs, and Guarantees of Origin (GoO) for green power.

Traceability
C

Transport (A2)

Plausibility checks of transport modes, vehicle types, and distances based on raw material supplier origins.

Plausibility
D

Allocation Rules

Review of allocation methods (mass/energy/economic) used for co-products and shared production lines.

Consistency
E

Representativeness

Ensuring the primary data accurately reflects the actual manufacturing reality and declared product scope.

Data Quality
F

Evidence Trail

Establishing an auditable evidence package that supports the final LCA result for 5 years in the Registry.

Compliance

The Verification Process

1
Scope & Level

Identifying hotspots and aligning with the selected EPD+ level (e.g. CPR Ready).

2
Evidence Collection

Uploading documentation (invoices, recipes, logs) to our secure audit portal.

3
Audit & Review

Independent verifier reviews evidence and performs plausibility cross-checks (integrated with FPC/ISO).

4
Issuance

Granting the EPD+ mark and publishing the status in the Public Registry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this replace standard EPD verification?
No. Standard verification is mandatory for publication. EPD+ is a supplementary assurance layer that goes deeper into the physical evidence trail, which standard verification may only spot-check.
How long does verification take?
Typically 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the chosen level and the organization of your evidence. Integrated audits with FPC/ISO take significantly less time.
Who recognizes the EPD+ mark?
The mark signals to Green Building certification bodies (LEED, BREEAM) and procurement officers that the data quality is high. It addresses the evidence requirements found in modern supply chain questionnaires.
