Rigorous Verification for EPD Primary Data
Elevate your Environmental Product Declaration from a compliance document to a trusted data asset. EPD+ validates the accuracy and traceability of the data underpinning your LCA model.
-
✓
CPR 3+ Ready™: Normative methodology audit.
-
✓
On-Site Verified™: Physical source data audit.
-
✓
Integrated Path: Synergy with FPC & ISO.
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.
Material Inputs (A1)
Verification of Bill of Materials (BOM) against purchase records, delivery notes, and supplier-specific datasets.
Audit TrailEnergy Data (A3)
Reconciliation of energy consumption with utility invoices, meter logs, and Guarantees of Origin (GoO) for green power.
TraceabilityTransport (A2)
Plausibility checks of transport modes, vehicle types, and distances based on raw material supplier origins.
PlausibilityAllocation Rules
Review of allocation methods (mass/energy/economic) used for co-products and shared production lines.
ConsistencyRepresentativeness
Ensuring the primary data accurately reflects the actual manufacturing reality and declared product scope.
Data QualityEvidence Trail
Establishing an auditable evidence package that supports the final LCA result for 5 years in the Registry.
ComplianceThe Verification Process
Identifying hotspots and aligning with the selected EPD+ level (e.g. CPR Ready).
Uploading documentation (invoices, recipes, logs) to our secure audit portal.
Independent verifier reviews evidence and performs plausibility cross-checks (integrated with FPC/ISO).
Granting the EPD+ mark and publishing the status in the Public Registry.
