How much time and money does producing an FDES require?

1111 questions from 157 articles available in English.

Allow around €10,000 to €15,000 for drafting an individual FDES by an accredited organisation such as CSTB, plus €2,000 to €4,000 for third-party verification, depending on product complexity and the state of upstream data. The typical timeframe is 6 to 9 months from launch to INIES submission. Most cost and time come from collecting data from raw material suppliers, rather than LCA modelling itself. A manufacturer with an existing internal LCA assessment can significantly reduce the bill. Validity is 5 years, with mandatory revision after every significant process change.
