Find or become a certified LCA practitioner or -reviewer
For drawing up and verifying a category 1 or 2 environmental declaration with the National Environmental Database, a (certified) LCA practitioner and a certified LCA reviewer are required. Are you a manufacturer looking for a certified specialist? Or do you want to become certified as an LCA practitioner or -reviewer? This page points you to both.
Before a category 1 or 2 environmental declaration can be included in the National Environmental Database, an LCA (life cycle assessment) must be drawn up. An (certified) LCA practitioner carries out the research and draws up the environmental declaration, and a certified LCA reviewer independently assesses whether this has been done correctly and completely. Both roles are certified by the NMD based on a fixed assessment protocol. Choose below whether you're looking for a specialist or want to register yourself.
For manufacturers
Looking for a certified practitioner or reviewer?
View the overview of certified LCA practitioners and reviewers. You can filter by name, company and specialisation (material type, B&U or GWW). Would you rather look for an LCA firm instead of an individual specialist? The NMD only certifies individual practitioners and reviewers; the Association for LCAs in Construction (VLCA) keeps an overview of firms active in this field.
For LCA professionals
Want to register yourself as a certified practitioner or reviewer?
Certification as an LCA practitioner or reviewer shows that you compile or verify LCAs responsibly. The following page explains which requirements you need to meet, how to register, and what's needed to keep your certification.
Register environmental data without accreditation
In addition to recognized LCA practitioners, non-recognized practitioners can also submit data. This is mainly intended for people who only prepare LCAs on behalf of the producer of the construction materials, for example for their own product range. You can request login credentials for this.
