Independent verifiers
Only Individual Verifiers currently listed on this page are approved by EPD International AB to carry out EPD
verification to The International EPD System.
Individual Verifiers work independently and without the direct involvement of the Secretariat in seeking out
assignments; the Secretariat is independent and not involved in this market transaction. I.e. manufacturer and
verifier arrange the process from contacting to signing of the contract for verification. The Secretariat
recommends manufacturers to contact 2-3 independent verifiers when requesting a quote for verification.
Individual Verifiers are free to offer their services in any country, except Australia and New Zealand where an
additional approval by EPD Australasia is needed.
When you want to get the contact details for our approved verifiers, please log-in to our EPD Portal. For

at least five years of documented experience as a practitioner and/or reviewer in the field of LCA, carbon
footprint, or environmental footprint (according to ISO 14040/14044/14067, or similar), and
at least five documented critical reviews of LCA studies conducted maximum 5 years prior to the
application in line with the critical review requirements of ISO 14044:2006, verification of Type III
environmental declarations in other programmes, or the equivalent. This should include at least one LCA
study involving assessment of multiple environmental impacts.
If the independent verifier participates in a training course organized by the International EPD® System
(physical or online), requirements on performed reviews will be reduced to three. Participation in certification or
training programmes may be accounted for the requirement of documented experience.
Also, individual verifiers may build up verification experience by using the process described in section 4.10.3.2
Shadowing Program for LCA experts, who need critical review/verification experience, which may be taken into
account for the overall assessment. This process does not replace the specific competence requirements as
described above.
Other than these requirements, general auditor skills and regular auditing or certification experience is an
advantage but not a mandatory requirement
