New EPDItaly Regulation Rev.7.1
The main purpose of the EPDItaly Regulations is to provide a tool for the development, verification/validation and publication of Environmental Product Declarations, in which the Organization can report environmental information related to the product or service provided.
The Regulations are revised every 3 years or upon input from the market to possibly adapt them to its changing needs.
As of 5 Settembre 2025, the New EPDItaly Regulations came into effect.
These are the main changes:
- Adaptation of the document to be consistent with EN 15941 “Sustainability of construction works – Data quality for environmental assessment of products and construction work – Selection and use of data ‘and ISO 14020 ’Environmental statements and programs for products – Principles and general requirements,” resulting in updated guidance on data quality and the concepts of “Raw data,” “Specific data,” “Generic data,” and “Proxy data.”
- Elimination of the ±10% limit as a discriminator for the inclusion of products in the average and sector EPD and updating of the definition thereof.
- Revision of the definition of product-specific EPD to regulate the creation of a specific EPD even for products manufactured entirely at multiple production sites and of products with multiple sizes or formats.
- Introduction of the concepts of “Mass Value” and “Material Properties” as metadata for more complete digitization.
- Explication of the need to include in the LCA and EPD Report the level of data quality achieved.
- Formalization of the possibility of accepting product certifications, regarding recycled content, in lieu of verification, if already present.
- Specifications for EPD validation of products not yet manufactured (Annex 6), with guidelines for accredited Verification/Validation Bodies.
- Inclusion of verification/validation procedures governing the case of EPDs having a retailer or distributor as EPD Owner (Annex 8).
