Many large architecture firms continue to request Health Product Declarations (HPDs) from building product manufacturers, driving the market to material transparency. HPDs disclose the potential chemical concerns of products against various "hazard" lists in accordance with the Health Product Declaration Standard. In response to manufacturer demand, third-party verification has become a critical tool in an HPD strategy.
GreenCircle is currently assisting in the development of a system to verify that HPDs have been completed thoroughly, correctly, and in conjunction with the Health Product Declaration Collaborative (HPDC) Standard. To ensure accurate disclosure, GreenCircle will use in-house expertise to verify your completed HPD for technical accuracy against guidelines established by the HPDC.
Benefits of HPD Verification:
- Transparency: HPDs, by their nature, demonstrate a manufacturer's commitment to transparency; however, third-party verified HPDs provide trusted transparency through impartial review and disclosure.
- Assurance: A third-party review of an HPD ensures accuracy of material claims and conformance with established standards. Architects, designers, and consumers can be confident that GreenCircle verified HPDs meet the strict demands of the open standard, provide accurate and complete data, and meet applicable credits within LEED v4 and other green building standards.
- Brand Recognition: Third-party verification positions your brand in the green building marketplace and differentiates you from the competition. GreenCircle certification further communicates your commitment to transparency and responsible material reporting.
