For manufacturers
Show project teams what’s in your products
Architects, designers and project teams use Health Product Declarations (HPDs) to choose building products. 18,500+ HPDs are published for 40,000+ products from 1,200+ manufacturers, and 400+ new HPDs are added every month.

What you work with
HPDC is a not-for-profit member collaborative. It created and maintains the open-data infrastructure for materials transparency, the HPDC Materials ToolSuite™:
HPD Open Standard (v3.0)
The consensus format for reporting what is in a product and the health hazards associated with its contents.
HPD Builder
The online tool where you create, check and publish manufacturer-authenticated HPDs.
HPD Public Repository
Where project teams, and the platforms they use, find your HPDs.
Inside HPD Builder, PreChecks show how an HPD aligns with programs such as LEED v5 (BPSP), Works with WELL and Cradle to Cradle. A PreCheck shows alignment, not a pass or fail. HPDC does not certify, rate or endorse products, and project teams make their own choices.
Three ways to start
Join HPDC
HPD Builder is included with organization membership, along with HPD Dashboards and a voice in how the Standard develops. Members sustain this work now that startup funding has ended.
Buy HPD Builder access
Not a member? A 3-HPD token pack is $500. Unlimited HPDs are $995.
Hire an Approved Preparer
An HPDC Approved Preparer can prepare HPDs with you and collect supplier data under NDA. Each firm sets its own fees.
After you publish
- Add the HPD Label: put it on packaging, data sheets and your website. One scan of its QR code opens your full HPD.
- Get your HPD verified: an independent Third-Party Verifier reviews it. Verified HPDs carry the verified version of the label.
- Build in-house skill: the Qualified Manufacturer Program (pilot) trains your team to prepare pre-verified HPDs (not third-party verified).
- Reach more tools: published HPDs flow to HPDC’s API Data Partners.

Questions
Does an HPD certify my product?
No. An HPD is a manufacturer-authenticated disclosure of what is in a product. HPDC does not certify, rate or rank products.
Will an HPD earn my product points in LEED or WELL?
Project teams use HPDs when pursuing LEED v5, WELL and other programs. PreChecks in HPD Builder show how your HPD aligns with a program’s criteria. The project team and the program make the final call.
Can someone else prepare my HPDs?
Yes. Many manufacturers work with an Approved Preparer. The HPD is still yours, and you are responsible for its content.
