ICC-ES' Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) program provides opportunities for manufacturers to increase transparency regarding the environmental impacts of their products using established international standards. Environmental Product Declarations are designed to meet the global market demand for science-based, transparent and quality assured information about product environmental performance.

Environmental impacts measured by EPDs:

  • Greenhouse gases
  • Ozone depletion
  • Acidification of land and water sources
  • Eutrophication (the process by which a body of water acquires a high concentration of nutrients, especially phosphates and nitrates, that typically promote excessive growth of algae)
  • Formation of smog
Benefits of the ICC-ES EPD program:

  • ICC-ES offers manufacturers independent and comprehensive verification that their products meet sustainability targets.
  • ICC-ES can oversee the full EPD development process, including the development of Product Category Rules (PCRs) in accordance with ISO 14025.
  • ICC-ES is an ANSI eligible Type III Program Operator verifying EPDs in accordance with ISO 14020-2000, ISO 14025-2006, ISO 21930-2007 and its internal requirements.
  • ICC-ES is part of the first Program Operator Consortium launched for the Environmental Product Declarations market.
