EPD verification
One Click LCA's End-to-End EPD Generators are fully verified with EPD Hub. EPDs generated with this tool need to be submitted through EPD Hub's portal and will be handled as follows:
First batch of EPDs generated are manually verified by an EPD Hub approved verifier
All subsequent EPDs generated are directly published and automatically verified (unless recalled)
Post-publishing verifications are performed on published EPDs
Data verification
For a tool to be End-to-End verified, all available data must be verified in advance. This includes:
Manufacturing site data
Private data
Private constructions
Additional ecoinvent datasets
A certified EPD Hub verifier must review and approve this data before it becomes available for selection in the tool.

Verification Steps
Initial Review: A One Click LCA representative reviews the requested data. Additional details may be required, such as:
Justification of the dataset’s validity
Source of data for Private Data
Specific use cases for the dataset
Pre-validation: Once approved, the One Click LCA representative pre-validates the data.
Verified Status: When the status changes to Verified, the data becomes available for selection in End-to-End verified projects.
EPD Hub will verify the data as part of the EPD verification process, and the EPD verifier has the right to reject pre-validated data if they are not satisfied that it meets Data Quality requirements.
Note that verified data is no longer editable. Prior to verification, the data can be edited but it is not available for selection in the tool until it is approved.
