ECO Platform Round Tables – 2025
We are pleased to announce the upcoming dates and topics for our ECO Platform Round Tables hosted by Dr. Jane Anderson.
The events are free of charge for all ECO Platform members; the ticket price for external participants is 69 EUR + VAT / event. Tickets can separately be booked via Pretix.
8 July 2025: Round Table #6 – Extending the Scope of the ECO Platform
There are key differences between EN 15804 and ISO 21930 – the ISO core product category rules for construction products. For example, in EPDs according to ISO 21930, Modules C and D are optional, whereas they are mandatory for most construction products under EN 15804.
If ECO Platform were to extend its scope to include EPD Programmes using ISO 21930, should this be managed under a separate label, acknowledging the differences between the standards and not requiring compliance with EN 15804? In that case, which ECO Platform requirements derived from the standards would still be essential?
Alternatively, should we require EPD Programmes using ISO 21930 that wish to produce ECO EPDs to also be compliant with EN 15804? If so, how might this be implemented? Would it require introducing new requirements for EPDs based on EN 15804? And what implications would this have for programmes outside of Europe?
As for Electronic and Electrical Equipment (EEE), there is a dedicated PCR – EN 50693. Although it includes an annex addressing the requirements of EN 15804, there are notable differences between the two standards. We therefore suggest discussing how ECO EPDs based on EN 50693 could be enabled – and under which conditions – while ensuring consistency with established EN 15804-based ECO EPDs.
1 October 2025: Round Table #7 – more details to follow soon

Hosted by
Dr. Jane Anderson
Co-Convenor of TEWOG
Jane is an expert in Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) and construction product datasets with decades of experience.
Since 2023, Jane has co-convened the Technical Working Group (TEWOG) at ECO Platform. Her expertise includes developing generic datasets for construction materials, verifying EPD and contributing to standards for EPD and LCA.
She has her own consultancy, ConstructionLCA, and holds post-graduate qualifications in Architecture and Life Cycle Management and a PhD in the role of EPD in reducing embodied carbon.

Previous ECO Round Tables
8 July 2024: Round Table #2 – Data Quality, Uncertainty and Variation in EPD
Provides an overview of different approaches to understanding and reporting data quality, uncertainty and variation in EPD, including those provided in EN 15941:2024, QMetadata, EC3, International EPD % of specific data and Jane’s PhD thesis. Would be an opportunity to learn about uncertainty and variation in EPD, and to obtain feedback for ECO Platform on the most appropriate approaches that could be used to report data quality and uncertainty in EPD.
10 October 2024: Round Table #3 – Tool Verification
Provides an overview of the proposed update of the ECO Platform Tool verification guidelines. The Round Table will be used to explain the proposed approach and obtain feedback from Tool Providers, LCA Practitioners, Manufacturers, EPD Programmes and Verifiers, providing a useful introduction to the ECO Platform internal consultation on the proposed new approach.
