About OpenEPD

openEPD is an open data format for passing digital third-party verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) among Program Operators, EPD Databases, Life Cycle Analysis tools, design tools, reporting, and procurement.

Unlike print or PDF EPDs, openEPD provides a shared and precise format to express and refer to EPDs in ways that modern databases can use. openEPD can be used alongside a printable document, or can generate printable EPDs.

Unlike existing formats such as ILCD+EPD, it enforces a key set of guarantees for interoperable data processing,
including uniqueness of organizations/plants, precise PCR references, and dated version control.

The openEPD format is extensible. Standard extensions exist for concrete products, and for documenting supply-chain specific data.
