This European standard provides core product category rules (PCR) for Type III environmental declarations for any construction product and construction service.<\/p>\n
\nNOTE The assessment of social and economic performances at product level is not covered by this standard.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The core PCR:<\/p>\n
\n
- \n
defines the indicators to be declared, information to be provided and the way in which they are collated and reported,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
describes which stages of a product\u2019s life cycle are considered in the EPD and which processes are to be included in the life cycle stages,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
defines rules for the development of scenarios,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
includes the rules for calculating the Life Cycle Inventory and the Life Cycle Impact Assessment underlying the EPD, including the specification of the data quality to be applied,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
includes the rules for reporting predetermined, environmental and health information, that is not covered by LCA for a product, construction process and construction service where necessary,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
defines the conditions under which construction products can be compared based on the information provided by EPD.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
For the EPD of construction services the same rules and requirements apply as for the EPD of construction products.<\/p>\n
