Manufacturers lose market access if they aren’t compliant.

Compliance is no longer a back-office task, it determines whether products can reach the market.

One Click LCA’s expanded compliance suite addresses this by providing a single platform that scales across the entire portfolio and adapts to evolving rules.

You can:
• Automate EPD creation and updates for thousands of products
• Reduce costly corrections with built-in pre-verification
• Keep data audit-ready under the EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR) and Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)
• Close data gaps for HVAC, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems
• Use market intelligence to see where your EPDs are used to protect and grow specifications

In this short video, One Click LCA Product Owner Johanna Parisi explains one of the new updates for manufacturers.

A third-party verified, published, EN 15804 +A2 / ISO 21930-compliant EPD gets you a long way. Here’s what to expect in the process:

1. Standards:
• Most European EPD program operators require EN 15804+A2 for construction product EPDs. The revised EU CPR applies from 8 Jan 2026 and establishes mandatory environmental-performance declarations and a digital product passport via future harmonised specs and delegated acts; it does not directly mandate EN 15804+A2. The regulation is to phase in implementation for prioritized product categories once the relevant harmonized technical specification applies.

• For products outside the CPR scope, the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) provides a parallel framework to impose lifecycle/DPP requirements by product-specific delegated acts.

• Beyond Europe, many regions follow ISO 21930, while the US and Canada rely on ISO 21930 and ISO 14040/44, which underpin both frameworks.

2. Upstream database: Most markets accept EPDs created using an upstream database, but exceptions apply. Some limited cases specify which inventory data can be used. These are discussed below.

3. Cost: The cost of your EPD creation varies greatly based on your EPD strategy. See image for cost breakdown. If you do a great deal of national variants for your EPDs, your costs will go markedly upwards. One Click LCA EPD generators reduce these costs by a significant factor, and the end-to end verified EPD generators reduce it to below one tenth. If you want to find out how to optimize the value and cost of your EPDs, we can help design your EPD strategy.

4. Verification: EPDs in Europe follow the third-party verification principles of ISO 14025, which requires independent review of both LCA data and the declaration. This is legally mandated in some countries and applied through programme or database rules elsewhere. In some markets, verification is interpreted more loosely as tool or dataset validation.

5. Publishing: Most markets accept EPDs from multiple recognized EPD program operators, but regulatory databases may impose acceptance criteria.

6. Language: Most markets accept EPDs in English or the regional language. Language rules are set nationally. Some Member States/databases (e.g., INIES, B-EPD) expect documentation in their official languages; English-only may not meet local publication or market-access expectations.

"The EPBD is a really powerful catalyst for change. I would recommend that all people in the industry try to embrace this period as an opportunity to have lower carbon buildings, high-performance buildings, and embrace the change that's coming, because that's the only certainty that we have.”
— Paul Astle, Building Decarbonization Lead, Ramboll

The EU’s revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) mandates whole-life carbon assessments for all new buildings by 2030 and large buildings over 1,000 m² as early as 2028.

This marks a fundamental shift in regulatory expectations. But how should we prepare?

Join Paul Astle and Marios Tsikos (One Click LCA) in our upcoming webinar to understand what the revised EPBD means for your projects — and how to comply.

Date: Tuesday, September 30, 2025
Time: 10:00 AM CET
Format: 45-minute online session

What you’ll learn:
- When and where the EPBD applies
- What must be disclosed and how it’s calculated
- Which carbon targets apply and how they are enforced
- How early design decisions affect carbon outcomes
- How to scale carbon assessments without adding workload

Carbon assessments shouldn’t require detective work.

That’s how Dijon Marples-Wall, Senior Carbon Consultant at Pick Everard, described the reality of many projects today.

In a panel on supply-chain carbon transparency at the One Click LCA Summer Sustainability Summit 2025, he explained how the lack of reliable, third-party verified EPDs forces consultants to fill critical data gaps manually, slowing assessments, reducing traceability, and undermining audit readiness.

Poor-quality EPDs and unmeasured quantity data both create friction. But when manufacturers provide verified, structured environmental data, it streamlines analysis and improves accountability across the project lifecycle.

High-quality EPDs aren’t just a procurement requirement. They’re essential infrastructure for doing carbon work properly.

Reducing embodied carbon in UK construction: New recommendations from MHCLG and AECOM

The UK construction industry is at a turning point. While operational energy has long been the focus for regulations, embodied carbon — the emissions from materials and construction processes — needs to be given the same level of attention. A landmark AECOM-led report commissioned by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government(MHCLG) makes it clear: addressing embodied carbon is essential for achieving the UK’s 2050 Net Zero goals.

Key recommendations from the report:

- Standardise assessments: Develop a nationally recognised reporting structure aligned with BS EN 15978 and BS EN 17472.

- Close data gaps: Establish a central UK carbon dataset and increase manufacturer EPD adoption.

- Verify tools: Implement third-party verification for carbon assessment tools to improve trust and comparability.

- Support innovation: Reduce barriers to low-carbon materials, expand training, and update codes to accelerate uptake.

- Scale skills & capacity: Define competencies for carbon assessors and fund training pathways to build sector-wide expertise.

With the world’s largest construction carbon database (300,000+ verified data points) and tools like Carbon Designer 3D and EPD Generator, One Click LCA helps architects, manufacturers, and contractors:

- Deliver consistent, standardised embodied carbon assessments.

- Fill critical data gaps with verified product and generic values.

- Prepare for future regulation with credible, benchmarkable reporting.

The path to Net Zero is clear — and it starts with making embodied carbon a priority.

Progress doesn’t always make headlines.

Controversial files like the EU Omnibus Directive attract media attention. But they don’t define the pace of change.

As Panu Pasanen, CEO of One Click LCA, pointed out during the EU competitiveness session at the Summer Sustainability Summit 2025, most decarbonization progress is being driven by quiet, technical regulation.

Revisions to the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). New product standards that mandate durability and resource efficiency. National laws that implement EU directives, step by step.

These don’t trend on social media. But they shape how buildings are designed, how products are manufactured, and how carbon is measured and reduced.

The market is moving — just not always where the spotlight is.

Calls to ‘streamline’ sustainability regulation often sound pragmatic, but they risk undermining the EU Green Deal at its foundation.

That was the warning from Céline Carré, Head of European Public Affairs at Saint-Gobain, speaking at the One Click LCA Summer Sustainability Summit 2025.

She compared the EU policy framework to the Sagrada Familia: complex, ambitious, and not something to tamper with at the base. Reopening core files like the Energy Efficiency Directive could stall investment and delay national implementation just as the clock is running out to meet 2030 targets.

Regulation isn’t just reporting. It’s what signals market demand, unlocks financing, and drives project delivery — especially at the local level. Undermine that architecture, and the entire system slows down.
