LyCIS provides specialized Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for organizations seeking technically robust, transparent, and standard-compliant environmental assessments.
We support industrial companies, research organizations, and academic institutions throughout Europe by delivering scientifically sound analyses that are directly applicable to verification, compliance, and decision-making processes.
Our services combine methodological rigor with practical implementation, ensuring that every project is structured correctly from the outset and delivered with clear, verification-ready documentation.
Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) Development
We support manufacturers and traders in the preparation of Environmental Product Declarations in accordance with EN 15804 and the applicable Product Category Rules (PCRs).
Each EPD is developed as a project-specific study, reflecting the actual production process, material composition, and data availability of the product under assessment.
- Definition of functional unit and system boundaries
- Identification and application of relevant PCRs
- Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) modeling
- Calculation of environmental impact indicators
- Preparation of EPD documentation
- Support during third-party verification
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Studies
We conduct Life Cycle Assessment studies to support EPD development, internal decision-making, and environmental communication.
Our studies follow internationally recognized standards and are documented with transparency and methodological consistency.
- Cradle-to-gate and cradle-to-grave assessments
- Modeling of production processes and supply chains
- Data quality assessment and documentation of assumptions
- Sensitivity and consistency checks
- Interpretation of results
Product Category Rules (PCR) Support
We assist clients in identifying, interpreting, and applying Product Category Rules relevant to their products.
Where required, we provide technical support in PCR-related discussions and methodological clarification during the EPD development process.
Multi-Product & Portfolio Strategies
For organizations managing multiple products or product families, we develop scalable strategies that balance technical accuracy with efficiency.
These may include:
- Grouped or family EPD approaches
- Harmonized data structures across product lines
- Consistent modeling frameworks for portfolio-level assessments
- Long-term planning for phased EPD development
Such strategies allow clients to optimize resources while maintaining compliance with applicable standards and PCRs.
Verification & Registration Support
We support clients throughout the verification and registration stages of the EPD process.
This includes technical clarification, responses to verifier comments, and preparation of revised documentation when needed.
Our Working Approach
We combine scientific methodology with a practical understanding of industrial production systems.
As a small expert team supported by an academic research environment, we ensure methodological rigor, clear documentation, and direct communication throughout each project.
