The entire process for an EPD is complex and usually takes several months. In particular, the data collection and calculation of the life cycle assessment by your LCA practitioner are time-consuming.<\/p>\n
The verification of the EPD data by the independent verifiers via IBU varies greatly from case to case, depending on the quality of the EPD, how quickly the EPD creator makes the necessary corrections after receiving feedback from the verifier, and how many EPDs are currently to be verified.
\nVerification by the independent third verifier is a thorough process that ideally takes about 8 weeks. However, due to the current high demand for EPDs and the limited availability of verifiers, this process is taking longer. At the moment, you should expect a verification time of about 6 months. In addition, there is an editorial pre-check and the final approval by the IBU after successful verification. We are working hard to increase capacity and speed up the process.<\/p>\n
We understand that these are longer waiting times than you may be accustomed to and ask for your understanding. To ensure that your EPD is available on time, we recommend that you include verification in your planning at an early stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
