EPD V7 2027 ADVANCED
PROFESSIONAL EXAM QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
1. Which ISO standard specifically governs the principles and procedures for Type III
environmental declarations (EPDs)?
A. ISO 14040
B. ISO 9001
C. ISO 14067
D. ISO 14025
Answer: D
Conceptual Explanation: ISO 14025 establishes the principles and specifies the
procedures for developing Type III environmental declaration programs and Type III
environmental declarations.
2. Under EN 15804+A2, which module is now mandatory for all construction products,
representing the potential for reuse, recovery, and recycling?
A. Module B1
,C. Module D
B. Module A5
D. Module C1
Answer: C
Conceptual Explanation: EN 15804+A2 makes Module D (Benefits and loads beyond the
system boundary) mandatory to highlight circular economy potentials.
3. What is the standard validity period for a verified EPD under the International EPD System?
A. 3 years
B. 5 years
C. 2 years
D. 10 years
Answer: B
Conceptual Explanation: EPDs are generally valid for a period of 5 years from the date of
publication, after which they must be updated and re-verified.
4. In LCA methodology, what does the term ‘Functional Unit’ represent?
A. The mass of the product in kilograms
B. The energy required to produce one unit
C. The quantified performance of a product system for use as a reference unit
, D. The profit margin per unit produced
Answer: C
Conceptual Explanation: The functional unit is a key element of LCA that provides a
reference to which the input and output data are normalized.
5. Which indicator was introduced in EN 15804+A2 to specifically account for carbon
sequestered in biological materials?
A. GWP-fossil
B. GWP-biogenic
C. GWP-luluc
D. ODP
Answer: B
Conceptual Explanation: GWP-biogenic accounts for the carbon flows resulting from the
sequestration and release of carbon in biological sources.
6. According to EPD V7 rules, what is the maximum ‘cut-off’ rule allowed for mass and energy
flow omission?
A. 5%
B. 1%
C. 10%
D. 0.5%
