This article gives details about the different product categories One Click LCA EPD Generator covers, and the available templates in each category.
Category defines what type of manufacturing customer does. The customer gets EPD templates and LCA data lists for the chosen
categories only. Expert license is required for working with multiple categories at once.
Complexity of the product category determines the cost level of EPD verification and publishing for products in the category.
Service pack is required or recommended for some product categories. It is also required if no suitable template is available.
Minimum data determines how much Ecoinvent data is required to work with the product category, if included data is not enough.
Construction product categories with ready to go templates aligned to EN 15804/ISO 21930
One Click LCA EPD Generator supports these product categories with ready to use product EPD templates. In case of International EPD System, customer must conform also with c-PCR if one is listed, and buy the referred standards, if applicable.
