General costs and fees

Here is a general overview of what you pay for an EPD:

1. Fee for the LCA consultant
• This fee covers the preparation of the EPD itself and the underlying LCA report. The LCA consultant collects data, conducts the environmental assessment, and prepares the documentation and EPD's.
• The cost for an LCA varies depending on the number and complexity of the products.
• The final price depends on how extensive the data collection is and how many products/EPDs are included in the task.
2. Fee for the verifier
• The verifier is an independent third party who approves the EPD according to relevant standards (required for the EPD to be valid).
• The LCA consultant can often help with contacting and arranging an agreement with a verifier. Otherwise, the verifiers that can be used within EPD Danmark can be found here.
• The cost of verification depends on how extensive the documentation is, with additional fees for each extra EPD.
3. Registration and annual fees to EPD Denmark
• Once the EPD has been verified, an annual fee is paid to EPD Denmark throughout the EPD’s validity period (normally 5 years), covering publication, administration, system maintenance, etc.
• The fee depends on the company’s size and the number of published EPDs.
• Publication in multiple languages may entail additional fees.
• EPD Denmark is non-profit, and the fees cover the secretariat, operation, as well as the maintenance of the system and standardisation.
