Thailand has no EPD verifier.
We built the service anyway.
Two hundred declarations. Zero verifiers on the ground.
This is a market with real, growing demand and no domestic capacity to serve it. Thai manufacturers publishing to the International EPD System have had to arrange verification from Europe or Australia — across time zones, in English, with no one in the room who has seen a Thai plant.
The numbers below are public. You can check every one of them on the International EPD System’s own register.
Prague. Athens. London. Sydney. Not Bangkok.
Verification of a Thai product currently means engaging a verifier who has never been to the site, working across a five-to-seven-hour time difference, with every query and response passing through a language boundary. It is workable. It is also slow, and it is why so few Thai manufacturers have got one.
Othello runs the whole engagement from Bangkok. Same standard, same independent verification, same registration — organised on your time zone, in your language, by people who can walk your production line.
Verification is always carried out by an accredited verifier independent of the party that prepared the declaration — that independence is what an EPD is worth. What changes here is who organises and carries the engagement.
An EPD Thailand label will not clear a European specification.
Thailand has its own domestic environmental declaration label, run by TEI, and manufacturers reasonably assume it covers them. It does not travel. It is not aligned to EN 15804 and carries no international recognition, so a European specifier, a Singapore Green Mark GoldPLUS submission or an EC3 entry will not take it in place of a registered international EPD.
If your buyer is in Bangkok, the domestic label may be fine. If your buyer is in Rotterdam, Singapore or a data-centre procurement team, it is not the document they asked for. The same pattern runs through ISCC certification: a scheme only counts where the buyer recognises it.
Four clocks, all running.
You are further along than you think.
A TGO Carbon Footprint of Product is an ISO 14067 greenhouse-gas number. An EPD is broader — acidification, eutrophication, resource use and more, assessed under a Product Category Rule and, for construction, EN 15804. The two are not interchangeable, but they are built from much of the same evidence.
Most exporters end up needing both: the CFP for the Thai market and the TGO relationship, the EPD for the European buyer — and if you ship steel or aluminium into the EU, CBAM draws on the same A1–A3 data spine, though an EPD never satisfies a CBAM report on its own. Starting from a completed CFP typically removes the hardest month of the work.
The inventory work transfers. The boundary, the PCR conformance and the impact assessment do not — which is the part this engagement does.
Data first. Because that is what runs late.
A declaration with your name on the register.
The verification statement and the registration are two different things, and only the second one puts your product where a buyer can find it. Both are in scope here.
A published EPD is typically valid for five years, PCR-dependent, so this is a document that works for you well past the engagement.
The questions manufacturers actually ask.
Checkable, not claimable.
Client engagements run under NDA from the first email, so most names stay private. What is named here is named because it is already public — and everything above can be checked without asking us.
Tell us the product. We will tell you the route.
Scoping starts with what you make, who is asking for the declaration and what data your plant already holds. Fees are quoted once the product and its Product Category Rule are scoped, because a simple extruded product and a complex assembly are not the same job.
