Service Overview
An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a Type III, third-party-verified disclosure of a product's environmental impact across its life cycle developed under ISO 14025, ISO 14040/44, and, for construction products, the EN 15804 framework. In today's market, an EPD is no longer a nice-to-have. It's the ticket into specification lists, green-building projects, and low-carbon public procurement across Europe and beyond.
Desapex delivers EPDs end to end. We act as project manager across the full workflow PCR selection, life-cycle assessment, EPD drafting, third-party verification, and registration so your team can stay focused on running the plant. But where most consultants stop at a one-off report, we build the digital data foundation underneath it: a governed, plant-level model that turns your EPD into a reusable asset for product carbon footprints, customer declarations, and the regulations coming next.
The business case is simple: a credible, product-specific EPD unlocks market access, wins specifications, and qualifies you for the low-carbon procurement frameworks your customers are already being measured against.
Our Digital-First Approach
A single plant data model collect once, reuse forever.
We connect your product bill of materials to process-level energy, material, yield, and waste flows in one governed model. Instead of a spreadsheet scramble for every declaration, your EPD data lives in a structured, version-controlled source of truth that feeds every future disclosure.
Core Deliverables
PCR selection & justification - the correct EN 15804-aligned Product Category Rule for your product and target markets, validated for currency and mutual recognition.
Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) model - functional unit, system boundaries, and modules A1–A3 through C and D, built to ISO 14040/44 and your PCR in leading LCA software.
Verified EPD report - programme-compliant indicator tables, technical narrative, and system-boundary diagrams, drafted to your operator's template.
Third-party verification coordination - verifier selection, submission, and full management of non-conformance responses through to a signed statement.
Registration & publication - listing with your chosen programme operator (International EPD System, IBU, BRE and others) plus mutual-recognition cross-listing where it expands reach.
Plant data model & integration - a reusable SCADA/ERP/MES-connected data foundation, delivered with on-site factory audits.
Data readiness audit - a gap assessment across metering, BOMs, and waste accounting, with owners assigned before modelling begins.
Why Choose Desapex
One accountable partner, end to end. We project-manage PCR selection through registration and liaise directly with programme operators and verifiers you get a single point of ownership, not a hand-off chain.
Digital engineers, not just report writers. We build the plant-level data model and factory integrations that make EPDs faster, cheaper, and reusable a capability rooted in our core digital-engineering practice.
Credibility that clears procurement filters. Primary, instrumented data backed by on-site audits produces defensible, product-specific declarations that specifiers increasingly demand.
Standards pedigree. Our BSI Kitemark for ISO 19650 signals the information-management rigour that EN 15804 verification depends on.
Future-proofed by design. The same governed data model feeds product carbon footprints, customer-specific declarations, and upcoming carbon regulation so today's EPD keeps paying off.
Unique Selling Proposition
We don't just write your EPD we build the digital data engine behind it, so one declaration becomes a reusable foundation for every carbon disclosure that follows.
