This area brings together reference information. Use the guides for practical steps and the documentation to understand terms, responsibilities and relationships.
Features and collaboration
The feature overview explains what the platform supports. The roles and permissions pages cover responsibilities and project access. Both matter: technical responsibility and editing permissions are different.
Rules and document content
PCR establish the applicable requirements. The background report explains calculations and data, while the EPD presents the published information. Refer to the programme documents applicable to your project for binding requirements.
Status, formats and maintenance
The status overview helps explain ongoing procedures. The data formats and validity pages cover later use. For changes to published content, the updating page explains the appropriate approach.
EPD-Online and verified tool solutions
Use EPD-Online for the conventional data-entry and submission process. IBU also provides for verified LCA and EPD tools with their own procedural rules. These differ from ordinary LCA software. Discuss a tool-based approach with IBU; the guides in this section describe working in EPD-Online.
