The International Governance Certification Institute (IGSC) announced on February 3 that it had been approved as an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) verification agency by Global GreenTag International of Australia.
Global Greentech International is an international certification agency headquartered in Australia, providing various environmental certification services for building materials and products, such as EPD, PHD (Product Environmental Declaration), and MSD (Modern Slavery Declaration). EPD is a certification that quantitatively evaluates the environmental impact of a product throughout its entire life cycle, helping consumers compare and select environmentally friendly products. PHD confirms the safety of toxic or hazardous substances in a product, and MSD is a certification that proves ethical production and supply.
With this EPD verification agency approval, the International Sustainability Certification Institute will be responsible for verifying LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) and EPD consulting reports as the local verification agency of Global Greentech International. In addition, Global Greentech International is a member of the ECO Platform, and EPD reports verified by the International Sustainability Certification Institute are recognized in Australia, North America, and Europe. The ECO Platform is a global network for EPD program operators in Europe, and supports the establishment of EPD systems based on the EN 15804 European standard.
“With the growing demand for EPD offerings, we are delighted to have this agreement to further dynamically collaborate with the International Sustainability Certification Institute,” said Dr. Nana Bortsie-Aryee, Program Director at Global Greentech International. “It will be of great help to Korean manufacturers as they pursue design for the circular economy by providing them with the verification services they need to export overseas.”
An official from the International Sustainable Certification Institute said, “By making verification possible in Korea, we will be able to resolve communication difficulties caused by language barriers.”
