If i need to create a new material with a new EPD i go to the “Create new material”.

So my question is - When i create a new material do you confirm the data as a valid third person or do i just have to believe in myself that the material is correct? 😉 it seems like i cant write any numbers for example the phase A1-A3. Do RTLC read it by the uploaded EPD?

Hi Mathias,

When an EPD is created by a user it’s marked as Custom EPD. If you need assistance feel free to request our team’s help or we can insert the EPD for you. 😉

To get started, first select the relevant phases. Once selected, they will appear, allowing you to enter the necessary values. 🤝

Best Regards,  
Inga
