All Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) must be consistent with which of the following standards?

ISO 50001
ISO 14001
ISO 14025
ISO 9001

The correct answer is: ISO 14025

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) must be consistent with ISO 14025. This standard provides the foundational framework for developing EPDs by establishing the principles and procedures for Type III environmental declarations. It outlines how to communicate the environmental performance of products in a standardized manner, ensuring that declarations are transparent, comparable, and credible. ISO 14025 specifically focuses on life cycle assessment (LCA) and requires that EPDs be based on LCA and adhere to certain criteria regarding data quality and transparency. This alignment ensures that users of EPDs can rely on the information presented to make informed decisions about the environmental impact of products, fostering accountability in sustainable product design and procurement. In contrast, options like ISO 50001 and ISO 9001 address energy management systems and quality management systems, respectively, while ISO 14001 pertains to environmental management systems. These standards do not pertain to the creation of EPDs specifically, which is why they are not the correct choice.
