EPD V7 ADVANCED ASSESSMENT
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
1. According to the General Programme Instructions for EPD V7, what is the primary ISO
standard governing Type III environmental declarations?
A. ISO 9001
B. ISO 19011
C. ISO 14001
D. ISO 14025
Answer: D
Conceptual Explanation: ISO 14025 establishes the principles and specifies the
procedures for developing Type III environmental declaration programmes and Type III
environmental declarations.
2. In the context of EPD V7, what does ‘PCR’ stand for?
A. Process Control Report
B. Product Category Rules
C. Primary Carbon Resource
D. Public Compliance Record
,Answer: B
Conceptual Explanation: PCR stands for Product Category Rules, which are sets of specific
rules, requirements, and guidelines for developing EPDs for one or more product
categories.
3. Which Life Cycle stage is represented by modules A1-A3 in a standard EPD?
A. Product Stage
B. Use Stage
C. Construction Process Stage
D. End-of-Life Stage
Answer: A
Conceptual Explanation: Modules A1 (Raw material supply), A2 (Transport), and A3
(Manufacturing) constitute the Product Stage, often referred to as ‘cradle-to-gate’.
4. What is the mandatory characterization model for Global Warming Potential (GWP-total)
in EPDs following EN 15804+A2?
A. IPCC AR5 GWP100
B. CML-IA
C. TRACI 2.1
D. IPCC AR6 GWP20
Answer: A
, Conceptual Explanation: EN 15804+A2 requires the use of the IPCC AR5 (Fifth
Assessment Report) GWP100 values for calculating Global Warming Potential.
5. In EPD V7, the ‘Cut-off rule’ usually allows for the exclusion of what percentage of energy
use and mass per module?
A. 1%
B. 0.5%
C. 5%
D. 10%
Answer: A
Conceptual Explanation: Commonly, PCRs allow a cut-off of 1% of renewable and non-
renewable primary energy consumption and 1% of the total mass of that unit process.
6. Which indicator measures the potential for thin layers of the atmosphere to be destroyed
by man-made emissions?
A. AP
B. ODP
C. EP
D. POCP
Answer: B
