Product Categories and Templates in the One Click LCA EPD Generator

Updated this week

This article gives details about the different product categories One Click LCA EPD Generator covers, and the available templates in each category.

Category and available templates defines what type of manufacturing the 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.


​Support pack is required or recommended for some product categories. It is also required if no suitable template is available.


​Construction product categories with ready to go templates aligned with EN 15804+A2/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 available, and buy the referred standards, if applicable. The list of templates is updated periodically, and customers can request for the creation of new templates for their specific products.
