What we verify.
The LCA behind the declaration
Review of assumptions, system boundaries, datasets, input evidence and calculations supporting your life cycle assessment.
Consistency from evidence to PEP
Review of the supporting LCA report and the PEP together, so findings identify discrepancies between the assessment and the declaration.
The rules that apply to your product
Applicable PEP Ecopassport requirements, PCR, PSR, associated FAQs and editorial rules, with product scope and rule editions confirmed at intake.
Digitally managed. Expert verified.
Less time untangling documents. More clarity on what needs to be resolved.
We use PEP Manager behind the scenes to connect the evidence, findings, corrections and deliverables. You work with a verification team, not an automated approval system.
01
An organized start
We organize and classify your submission documents in PEP Manager, confirm the review scope and identify missing information before the technical review.
A clear evidence package
02
Findings you can act on
Structured, evidence-linked findings bring review comments and information requests together, helping your technical team understand what needs attention and why.
Consolidated technical feedback
03
Corrections with a history
Recorded correction rounds keep document versions, your responses and verifier comments connected, rather than leaving the review history across separate email threads.
Traceable responses and revisions
04
Expert-controlled sign-off
Review stages and approval gates support controlled deliverables. The accredited verifier retains the technical decisions and signs only once conformity is established.
An accountable final review
Tool-assisted checks support consistency; they do not replace independent technical judgment. Document sharing and communication are agreed at intake.
A clear path to sign-off.
For a single PEP or a planned series of declarations, the engagement starts with your product scope and evidence readiness.
Tell us about your products, PEP volume and target dates. We confirm scope, applicable rules, independence and a tailored review proposal.
02
Establish readiness
Provide the draft PEP, LCA report and supporting evidence through the agreed document-sharing channel. We identify anything missing before accepting the package for review.
03
Review and resolve
We assess the submission and issue consolidated findings. Your team provides responses and corrections; we review them against the applicable requirements.
04
Sign and hand over
Once conformity is established and findings are closed, receive the signed verification statement tied to the final reviewed PEP, together with the findings/review record.
Before we begin.
What is a PEP, and what does independent verification check?
PEP means Product Environmental Profile: product environmental information supported by a life cycle assessment. Independent verification reviews the draft declaration, supporting LCA and evidence against the applicable PEP ecopassport requirements. It is not PEP preparation or programme registration.
Which PCR, PSR and document versions should we provide?
Share the proposed PCR and PSR, the product or family coverage, the declared or functional unit, and the current draft PEP and LCA report versions. We confirm the applicable rules and review scope at intake; do not assume a previous project's rule editions apply unchanged.
Who is this service for?
Companies preparing PEPs, including manufacturers and their LCA/PEP consultants. We can discuss an individual declaration or a planned series of reviews; product coverage and applicable rules are confirmed before engagement.
I'm an LCA/PEP consultant. Can I bring my clients' PEPs?
Yes. Consultants can submit on behalf of the manufacturers they support, from a single declaration to a recurring flow of PEPs. We agree who receives findings and deliverables at intake, and independence is confirmed for every engagement.
Do you prepare the LCA or PEP for us?
This service is independent verification, not LCA or PEP preparation. Your team remains responsible for preparation, product-data accuracy and corrections. We confirm independence before accepting an engagement; any separate advisory scope must preserve verifier independence.
What does the digital workflow change?
PEP Manager supports our team's document organization, review stages, evidence-linked findings, correction history and deliverables. It helps reduce repetitive coordination while keeping technical judgment with the accredited verifier. We agree document sharing and communication with you at intake; the service does not require a public self-service portal.
How are timing, fees and correction rounds agreed?
We tailor the proposal to your product families, number of PEPs, evidence readiness and target dates. The engagement defines the schedule, included correction rounds and how additional work is approved. Time awaiting your responses or revised evidence affects the end-to-end schedule; sign-off depends on closure of findings.
Does verification include registration or publication?
No. Verification concludes with the agreed verification deliverables once conformity is established. Program registration, publication and operator fees are separate; verification does not guarantee publication.
