PEP: Product Environmental Profile

07/18/2024



A PEP is a Product Environmental Profile.

As an environmental identity card for products from companies and professions in the electrical, electronic, and HVAC (EEE) fields, the PEP is based on the results of a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of these products. This standardized document allows communication regarding their environmental characteristics, in accordance with ISO 14025.

The PEP ecopassport® Program

Established in 2010, the PEP Association [hyperlink to http://www.pep-ecopassport.org//fr/ defines the operational procedures of the PEP ecopassport® Program 'in accordance with principles of ethics and transparency'. One of our EVEA auditors, Tim Osmond, also serves as the President of the Association's Accredited Verifiers Club.

 

In addition to providing reliable and relevant information on the environmental impacts generated by equipment, this program aims to:

  • Assist companies in the relevant fields in managing the impacts of their products.
  • Bring them together on a platform for exchange and expertise sharing to address environmental and health-related issues associated with equipment.

 

One ultimate goal of this program is to enable the consideration of equipment's contribution to the environmental impacts of the structures and installations in which they are incorporated, to effectively manage the overall environmental impact of construction from the outset. PEPs are used un the mandatory French construction standard RE2020, as well as BREEAM and LEED certifications.
