What It Is

cloudEPD is a professional platform from cloudEPD AS for Environmental Product Declarations (EPD). It mainly serves Program Operators, approved verifiers, product owners, and project engineers. Its core goal is to help generate, verify, approve, and distribute EPDs, with a particular focus on the digital circulation of declarations in the ILCD+EPD format.

Core Features and Integrations

Based on the information on the page, cloudEPD offers two workflows: one uses an automated engine to generate and distribute digital declarations in the ILCD+EPD format; the other uses a verification portal to handle legacy PDF-only EPDs. Approved verifiers can upload verification documents, while Program Operators act as the final approvers for either automated or manual workflows. Once approved, declarations can be published through the integrated data hub, published to the InData network, or pushed to a designated portal via API. For product owners and project engineers, its value lies in making verified ILCD+EPD declarations available to external tools such as BIM tools.

Pricing and Deployment

The public page does not disclose plans, pricing, a free tier, trial information, or payment methods. In terms of deployment, the product name and description suggest an online system, but the page does not clearly state whether it is purely cloud-based, privately deployed, or hybrid. Therefore, no further assumptions should be made.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths lie in its highly vertical positioning, forming a closed loop around EPD generation, verification, approval, and publication. It also supports both structured ILCD+EPD and legacy PDF-only EPDs, covering both digital workflows and existing documentation. Its API, data hub, InData network, and BIM tool connections also indicate data distribution capabilities. The main limitation is the lack of public information: there are no clear details on security and compliance, permission management, audit trails, API documentation, customer cases, service support, or pricing. Buyers will need to contact the vendor for further confirmation during procurement evaluation.

Who It’s For and Access from China

cloudEPD is better suited to EPD Program Operators, verification bodies, product owners in construction materials or manufacturing, and project teams that need to connect environmental declaration data to engineering or BIM tools. Access from China cannot be determined from the available text; network connectivity, cross-border payment, and local service availability are all unknown. If deploying it in China, users should further assess access stability, data compliance, payment methods, and whether there are local EPD management or LCA/carbon data platform alternatives.
