Integration of LCA in
the EPD |
Optional. A Life Cycle
approach is recommended.
LCA has been used in some
Eco-label making |
LCA is mandatory. |
|
Integration of non-LCA
information |
Optional |
Optional. The French EPD
includes some specific
non-LCA information in
a mandatory manner |
|
Use for communication |
Selected products (e.g.
25% of a given family)
are awarded with the Eco-label |
All products can be accompanied
by an EPD, even if the
product is not the best
in class |
|
Comparison of products |
The label is comparative:
all products from a given
family are compared to
the others |
The label is declarative.
No comparison is needed
at first stage |
|
Nature of products that
can be dealt with the
eco-label |
The label is adapted for
products which are produced
in similar ways since
the environmental criteria
need to be adapted for
the whole family |
All products can prepare
an EPD, even if there
is no reference for comparison
(no family) |
|
Target audience |
The eco-label Type I is
adapted for consumers:
no LCA experience is needed
to select a product which
cares the environment |
The eco-label type III
is adapted for business
customers. An LCA experience
is needed to use the EPD
in the best way, i.e.
in a fair manner Consumers
can envision the use of
type III EPD, as long
as the documents listed
in the standard are available |

Cette typologie des Fiches de Déclaration
Environnementales et Sanitaires a mis en place
des critères différenciateurs
concernant les domaines suivant
:
- la propriété
du schéma,
- l’objectif du schéma,
- l’état d’avancement
du schéma,
- le flux de référence
utilisé pour le travail,
- le type de produit faisant
l’objet de la déclaration,
- les frontières des systèmes
étudiés : transparence
et adéquation,
- les règles d’allocation
: transparence et adéquation,
- les indicateurs d’impact
présentés (LCIA),
- Qui réalise l’ACV
? Quel est le type d’assurance
qualité ?
