An Environmental Product Declaration, or EPD, reports quantified lifecycle environmental information using defined product-category rules. A Health Product Declaration, or HPD, provides standardized disclosure about product ingredients and associated health information. Low-emission certifications evaluate whether tested products meet specified limits for volatile organic compound emissions into indoor air. A product can have one form of documentation without having the others. Project teams should identify which disclosures, certifications, building standards, or owner requirements actually apply.
