Panel EPD Review: Match the Product, Unit and Scope

Two panel quotations can include environmental data without offering a sound basis for comparison. Before entering carbon figures into a purchasing table, identify the declared product and check what each result measures. Use the checklist to record gaps for the project reviewer.

1. Project, destination, intended use and responsible reviewer
________________________________________

2. Quoted panel configuration, quantity and drawing revision
________________________________________

3. Declaration holder, registration number and programme-library URL
________________________________________

4. Declaration version, dates and status checked on a recorded date
________________________________________

5. Declared product, manufacturing scope and coverage of each quote row
________________________________________

6. Standard edition, PCR version and applicable complementary rules
________________________________________

7. Declared or functional unit and proposed quantity or conversion basis
________________________________________

8. Impact indicators, method version, life-cycle stages and exclusions
________________________________________

9. Project scenarios, technical performance requirements and separate evidence
________________________________________

10. Missing information, reviewer decision, agreed revisions and submission stage
________________________________________

Send the panel schedule and the requested document list. Ask what evidence is available for the proposed configuration. This guide does not claim that a ZY product already has an EPD or a verified carbon value.
