Essential gives you the findings and leaves the corrections to you. Standard adds a formal report and checks your corrections once. Comprehensive adds a second check, wider coverage, and support until you are ready for the program operator or for publication.<\/p><\/details>\r\n      <details><summary>Is the EPD audit the same as program operator verification?<\/summary><p>No. It is an independent pre-submission audit. It does not replace third-party verification under the program operator; it prepares your EPD so verification goes faster, with fewer queries and revision rounds.<\/p><\/details>\r\n      <details><summary>When do we need a panel critical review instead of a single expert?<\/summary><p>ISO 14044 requires a panel of at least three experts when LCA results support a comparative assertion disclosed to the public. We can coordinate a panel; it is quoted separately.<\/p><\/details>\r\n      <details><summary>Do you prepare the EPD or the LCA for us?<\/summary><p>No. To preserve independence, DEISO does not prepare the Environmental Product Declaration or the underlying Life Cycle Assessment subject to review. We tell you exactly what to correct and why.<\/p><\/details>\r\n      <details><summary>What do you need from us to start?<\/summary><p>The EPD draft or LCA report, the background report, the LCA model or calculation workbook, the PCR used, and a contact person for questions. Turnaround starts when the complete files are received.<\/p><\/details>\r\n      <details><summary>Can we move up a level later?<\/summary><p>Yes. If you start with Essential and later need a re-review or a written report, the fee you paid is credited toward Standard or Comprehensive.<\/p><\/details>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <p class=\"dzp__note\">Fees in USD, excluding taxes and travel.

The review may cover ISO 14025 alignment, PCR conformity, LCA consistency, indicator accuracy, boundaries, allocation, and supporting documentation."},{"q":"Can DEISO prepare my EPD or the underlying LCA for review?","a":"No, DEISO performs only pre-submission audit and critical review engagements to preserve independence. The Environmental Product Declaration and underlying Life Cycle Assessment must be prepared before the engagement."},{"q":"What is the difference between an EPD pre-submission audit and an LCA critical review?","a":"An EPD pre-submission audit focuses on declaration completeness, consistency, and PCR conformity before official verification. An LCA critical review assesses the methodological conformity and defensibility of the supporting study under ISO 14040 and ISO 14044."},{"q":"What does the EPD review engagement process involve?","a":"The process begins with scope confirmation, including applicable PCR identification, product system boundaries, LCA documentation, and evidence and data quality. DEISO then performs the selected audit or critical review and provides an independent technical conclusion with identified gaps, corrective recommendations, and pre-submission readiness guidance."},{"q":"What is the difference between an EPD pre-submission audit and an LCA critical review?","a":"An EPD pre-submission audit focuses on declaration completeness and PCR conformity before submission to a program operator. An LCA critical review evaluates the methodological defensibility of the underlying Life Cycle Assessment against ISO 14040 and ISO 14044."},{"q":"Is the EPD pre-submission audit the same as program operator verification?","a":"No, it is an independent pre-submission audit and does not replace third-party verification under the program operator. It is intended to prepare the EPD before formal verification."},{"q":"Do you prepare the EPD or the underlying LCA?","a":"No, DEISO does not prepare the Environmental Product Declaration or the underlying Life Cycle Assessment subject to review. Its role is limited to independent technical audit and review before submission or publication."},{"q":"What do you need from us to start an EPD or LCA review?","a":"You need to provide the EPD draft or LCA report, the background report, the LCA model or calculation workbook, the applicable PCR, and a contact person for questions. Turnaround starts when the complete files are received."},{"q":"When is a panel critical review needed instead of a single expert review?","a":"A panel of at least three experts is required under ISO 14044 when LCA results support a comparative assertion disclosed to the public. DEISO can coordinate a panel, with the scope quoted separately."}],"footnotes":""},"deiso-finder":[1705],"content-type":[950,1582],"content-filter":[961,936],"site-search-options":[977,975],"class_list":["post-329526","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","content-type-environmental-product-declaration-epd","content-type-pre-submission-audit-advisory","content-filter-exclude-from-training","content-filter-include","site-search-options-entire-site","site-search-options-services","grve-entry-item"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dei.so\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/329526","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dei.so\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dei.so\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dei.so\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/132"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dei.so\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=329526"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dei.so\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/329526\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":342045,"href":"https:\/\/dei.so\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/329526\/revisions\/342045"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dei.so\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/329600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dei.so\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=329526"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"deiso-finder","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dei.so\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/deiso-finder?post=329526"},{"taxonomy":"content-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dei.so\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-type?post=329526"},{"taxonomy":"content-filter","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dei.so\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-filter?post=329526"},{"taxonomy":"site-search-options","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dei.so\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/site-search-options?post=329526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
