ECO Platform: TEWOG conclusion on the applicability of data based on the Together for Sustainability Guideline for EPDs<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

ECO Platform\u2019s Technical Working Group (TEWOG) has been asked regarding the understanding of compatibility of the Product Carbon Footprint Guideline for the Chemical Industry, Version 2.1 \u2013 February 2024 (referred to as TfS Guideline in this document) of the Together for Sustainability (TfS) initiative with the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) scheme as it is represented by ECO Platform.<\/p>\n

Based on their meeting on of April 25th, 2024, TEWOG concluded that data that are developed based on the TfS Guideline do not qualify as input information for the development of EPD without securing consistency with EN 15804 and the subsequent documentation.<\/p>\n

Details for this conclusion are documented in the official ECO Platform statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

IBU requests that all LCA and EPD creators take this assessment into account for the IBU EPD programme.<\/strong><\/p>\n

About ECO Platform<\/h3>\n
\n

The ECO Platform is an umbrella organisation of various national EPD Programme Holders in Europe that advocates cross-border recognition of European Core EPDs according to EN 15804 and their implementation. The IBU is the initiator and founding member of the ECO Platform, which was founded in the summer of 2013.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On 16 October 2014, at the first official General Conference of the ECO Platform in Brussels, the launch of a new EPD label was announced. The EPD label symbolically represents common minimum standards regarding quality management and verification procedures developed by the ECO Platform. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The EPD label also stands for the particular quality of the verified life cycle assessment data<\/a> \u2013 so that there will be a pool of European EPDs according to EN 15804.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
