The requirement to provide verified environmental data takes a different form in each country: local regulation, programme operator, standards. Choose a country: we explain what the local regulation says and the obligations that follow from it.

Common base

What is common across all of Europe

Three underlying trends are driving demand for EPDs across Europe. An EPD compliant with EN 15804+A2 / EN 50693, such as those produced by Qweeko, makes you eligible on all these fronts.

Regulatory pressure

RE2020, ESPR/DPP, CSRD, CPR: documenting the environmental impact of your products is becoming mandatory.

Principals

Distributors, design offices and public tenders systematically include environmental criteria.

Certifications

BREEAM, LEED, DGNB, etc. require verified product data to enhance the value of buildings.

Multi-programme

One LCA model, several programmes

Only once

Your data, one LCA model

A single collection, a single LCA model, deployable to each programme.

→
You collect your data once. Qweeko models it and publishes your declaration in the programme recognised on your market: PEP Ecopassport, International EPD System, IBU, EPD Norge, EPD Italy, etc. The mutual recognition agreements (MRA) between programmes then make it possible to extend an EPD beyond a single programme.
