What is a Health Product Declaration (HPD)?

• A. A certificate of product safety.
• B. A pricing label for construction materials.
• C. A standard format for reporting product content and associated health information for building products and materials.
• D. A chemical hazard warning label.

Answer: (C)

A Health Product Declaration is a standardized report format used to disclose what a building product contains and the health information associated with its ingredients. It provides a consistent way to list ingredients, their relative amounts, and the health hazards or impacts associated with those ingredients, with data sources and often third‑party verification. This transparency helps designers and building owners compare products and make informed, healthier material choices, and it’s commonly referenced in green building programs like LEED. It is not a certificate of product safety, not a pricing label, and not a hazard warning label.
