Join Dr. Shiva Zargar and Wacey Crier, Co-Founders of Build Neutral, for an essential breakdown of the first major update to ISO 14025 in nearly two decades and what it means for the fenestration industry. As Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) face unprecedented attention, this session will dive into the critical changes that directly impact window manufacturers.
We will unpack the end of self-declared claims, explaining why unverified environmental labels will now face strict regulatory scrutiny and potential exposure under the Competition Act, and outline the clear pathway to transitioning to fully verified EPDs. Additionally, we will explore a new confirmed allowance in the standard regarding how manufacturers can now leverage design data to develop prospective EPDs, unlocking new opportunities for low-carbon R&D and product innovation.
Attendees will walk away with a clear understanding of current EPD regulations, realistic timelines and costs for compliance, and the strategic next steps needed to keep their marketing both legally compliant and market-competitive.
