Supply Chain Declaration Portal (SCDP)
New buildings (generation 4) and Renovation (generation 2)
Welcome to the Nordic Ecolabelling declaration site (also known as SCDP)
This is where you as a supplier help your customer in connection with their application to obtain a Nordic Swan Ecolabel licence for New buildings (generation 4) and Renovation (generation 2). If your product/item already has a Nordic Swan Ecolabel, or an EU Ecolabel licence, you do not have to declare them. All other items* according to the Product Matrix should be declared in the Supply Chain Declaration Portal, also known as the SCDP.
* Item is a general term for various products and materials. For example chemicals, laminates, glass, and fabrics.
Nordic Ecolabelling uses your information when evaluating a license application. If specific properties need to be shared with your customers, it will be stated in the requirements. Everything else is treated confidentially by Nordic Ecolabelling.

Product Matrix
Before spending valuable time declaring in the SCDP, make sure to consult the Product Matrix first. Look up "Column F" that states whether your items can be declared or not. You can also find out which requirement/-s your items are covered by.
Areas and types of items available in SCDP
Below is a document containing a summary of all product areas and product types that are available to choose from when declaring items, including translations of these in Nordic languages. These areas and types are also searchable by Nordic Swan Ecolabelled building projects.
How to get started
-
Please, read the terms and conditions carefully.
-
Please, ask the person responsible (here called competent contact) at your company for login credentials to the Supply Chain Declaration Portal.
You will then receive an e-mail with a personal user name and password from Nordic Ecolabelling. The usename and password must not be shared with others.
-
Please, read the Declaration guide (download below) carefully before you start declaring.
In the portal, you will find which properties of your items your customer needs you to declare. Ask your customer for their Application ID in the Nordic Ecolabelling Portal where they apply, since you have to state that and the customers company name in the Supply Chain Declaration Portal. If you don’t know what company will be using your item, please, fill in "N/A" instead.
When working, you will be able to keep track of and maintain all your declarations. You may also add new declarations or make changes or extensions of items.
In the Supply Chain Declaration Portal you can keep track of:
- your company contacts registered
- history and documentation
- declared properties of your items in ongoing and finalised declarations
The portal also contains a library with product sheets, security sheets, test protocols and other documents your company use in the declaration process.
-
Please note, "Declared" does NOT equal "Ecolabelled"
A declaration of an item is solely a declaration of key data to be used in a complex and comprehensive application process. The declaration is therefore not an approval, nor a disapproval of the item, and the item is neither approved nor certified by Nordic Ecolabelling.
Hence, the item will not carry the Nordic Swan Ecolabel and must not be presented as ecolabelled.
