#### Five product families, one methodology

## Every product in the chain, from clinker to precast element.

Cement products are declared cradle to gate, because they become constituents of concrete. Concrete and precast carry the full life cycle, including recarbonation in use, so the declaration covers whole-life figures.

Aggregates

Cradle to gate

Modules A1 to A3

 Raw material supply, transport and processing at the quarry or plant.

Clinker

Cradle to gate

Modules A1 to A3

 Kiln fuels, electricity and process emissions, with KPI input.

Cement

Cradle to gate

Modules A1 to A3

 Clinker and other constituents, grinding and blending. Feeds your concrete EPDs directly.

Concrete

Cradle to grave

Modules A1 to D

 Mix design, batching, delivery, construction, use with recarbonation, end of life and recycling.

Precast

Cradle to grave

Modules A1 to D

 Your declared unit, with concrete volume, storage, reinforcement and the downstream life cycle.

#### Walkthrough

## Enter, calculate, report, share, export.

01**Enter data.** Materials, manufacturing, transport, storage, construction, use and end of life, with defaults from ecoinvent and the GCCA GNR database where you have no plant figure.

02**Calculate.** The pre-verified model runs the LCA and reports every required indicator, with mass and energy balance checks as you go.

03**Report.** Export the self-declaration as a PDF and the background report as an Excel file for the verifier.

04**Share.** Manage EPDs in the dashboard, duplicate them for other plants or countries, and share them across your organisation.

05**Export digitally.** ILCD+EPD files, or the API to push data in and pull results out of your own systems.

Data entry, with declared unit and validity fixed by the product type.

#### Pre-verified and recognised

The International version is verified by Studio Fieschi and recognised as a pre-verified LCA tool by EPD International. The North American version is verified by the Athena Sustainable Materials Institute.

#### What you get

## Three outputs from one workflow

Self-declaration*01*

Product information and results for all indicators, in GCCA format as a PDF. A draft output, not yet an independently verified EPD.

Background report*02*

The complete set of inputs, assumptions and results as an Excel file, for the third-party verifier and your own analysis.

Digital EPD file*03*

ILCD+EPD export for the ECO Portal, building LCA software and procurement platforms.

#### Standards and PCRs covered

| Version | EPD standard | Product Category Rules | Verified by |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **International** | EN 15804:2012+A2:2019, ISO 21930 | PCR 2019:14 Construction products, with c-PCR-001 Cement and building limes (EN 16908) and c-PCR-003 Concrete and concrete elements (EN 16757) | Studio Fieschi |
| **North American** | ISO 21930 | NSF PCRs for cements, concrete and precast concrete, latest editions | Athena Sustainable Materials Institute |

LCA to ISO 14040 and ISO 14044. Independent verification to ISO 14025. The International version is listed as a pre-verified tool on the International EPD® System's EPD Portal: EPDs calculated with it are verified with the Simplified Verification Report, in which the methodological checks are pre-ticked and only your data is examined.
