Data Quality Rating (DQR) is an important step before you submit your EPD for verification. DQR is not an evaluation of the LCA model itself, only the data within it. It informs verifiers of potential data limitations to support their review.
We have a template DQR sheet to download below (password required), which you should use and attach as an additional file in your EPD submission.
Before getting started with it, please carefully read the Help sheet, and review the eBike example. This will guide you on how to populate your data into the sheet, and then how you should do the ratings.
If you're publishing with a Program Operator that requires you to report the share of Primary Data used in your LCA, e.g., the International EPD System, the file also includes a Data Classification Assessment sheet.
If you have questions about using the file, please don't hesitate to Contact Us.
