The environmental product declaration is based on the analysis of the life cycle of a product. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a complex and time-consuming job. In the event that the company does not have the internal knowledge to develop the life cycle analysis, it must hire an LCA consultant. A company affiliated with the program that does not know of any LCA consultant may request information from the program about LCA consultants specialized in environmental declarations of construction products..
The LCA consultant who wants to develop a draft EPD and register in the EPD construction program must be aware of the procedures for developing a PCR and® the Product Category Rules (PCR) applicable to their product.
In the event that the PCR document or international standard for the particular product has not yet been developed, you can use generic PCR. In this case, the prior approval of the program administrator is necessary and for this you must make the DAPcons® registration request and request this approval.
