3. You will first enter the editing menu. Start by entering the EPD information:

   • Product – Enter the product to which the EPD applies.

   • EPD valid until – Enter the expiration date of the EPD.

   • EPD program operator – Found on the front page of the EPD. Copy and paste the company name here.

   • Name of verifier – The independent third-party verifier’s name, found under verification.

   • Verifier organization name – The name of the verifier’s organization, found under verification.

   • Production site(s) – Usually found on page 2 of the EPD.

   • Functional unit – Optional field; enter if specified.

   • Declared unit – Usually found on page 2 of the EPD.

   • Estimated lifetime – The product’s expected lifetime, often found on page 3, though this may vary.

   • Lifetime in EPD – Some EPDs specify different lifetimes depending on the application. For these, use an average value since only one lifetime can be registered in the EPD register.

   • Conversion factor to mass (kg) per declared or functional unit – Optional; enter if specified.

   • Reference unit – type/unit – Enter the same value as the declared unit.

   • Time period – Typically 5 years; how long the EPD is valid.
