What do I have to do in order to take advantage of the mutual recognition?

To the extent that you would like placement of EPDs in foreign markets where the IBU has mutual recognition with an EPD program, the IBU branch office is available to assist with implementation. The IBU recommends making a decision during the creation of the life cycle assessment as to whether or not you will ultimately make use of mutual recognition, in order to perform potential additional calculations at that time, and thus reduce costs and time.
