The renewal of registration (after 5 years) involves the application of a new rate that have arisen in the case of changes to the document (EPD), represents about 80% of the initial registration fee, and validate the publication of the EPD System for 5 years.

The associates of the Plataforma para a Construção Sustentável, managing entity of the Cluster Habitat Sustentável, that have their membership up to date, will have a 50% discount on the 1st Registration fee for their first EPD.
Annual maintenance fee
This fee includes all maintenance costs connected to the EPD in the programme’s database. This is an independent cost from the number of registered EPDs. The annual fee is connected to the maintenance of every EPD registered by an organisation.

The payment of the maintenance annual fee must be made when the EPD is registered accordingly to the validation period (up to 5 years).
The annual maintenance fee covers the use of the DAPHabitat and ECO Platform brand, submission and posting on the ECO Portal of the ECO Platform, follow-up of meetings of the ECO Platform working groups, follow-up of updates of the European regulations underlying the preparation of the EPD, respective review and updating of the DAPHabitat registration system and management of the different supporting documents (PCR).
If the company wants that the EPD is registered together in the ECOPlatform, the documents must be submitted in english.
VAT is not included in the values indicated for the Registration Fee and the Annual Maintenance Fee and may undergo periodic review.
Registration of DAP verified abroad
In the framework of the mutual recognition of EPDs between registration programme operators as members of the ECOPlatform, the DAPhabitat system recognises the verification performed by verifiers which are validated by those partner systems, if their EPD declaration of compliance is delivered at the time of registration.
