Standard EN Sample
Sustainability of Construction Works - Environmental Product Declarations - Product Category Rules for Concrete and Concrete Elements
Also Known As:
BS EN 16757:2017 standard is a European standard that complements EN 15804:2012+A1:2013. It focuses on the environmental impact assessment of concrete and concrete elements used in building and civil engineering projects, excluding autoclaved aerated concrete.
This standard defines the parameters that need to be reported, the types of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and life cycle stages to be covered, and the rules to be followed in order to generate Life Cycle Inventories (LCI) and conduct Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA). It also specifies the data quality requirements for the development of EPDs.
In addition to the common parts of EN 15804:2012+A1:2013, this standard provides specific guidelines for concrete and concrete elements. It defines the system boundaries, modeling and assessment of material-specific characteristics, allocation procedures for multi-output processes and for reuse and recycling, as well as rules for calculating the LCI and LCIA underlying the EPD.
Furthermore, the standard offers guidance on determining the reference service life (RSL) and establishing default scenarios and functional units for concrete elements. It is designed for cradle to gate, cradle to gate with options, or cradle to grave assessments, depending on the stated intentions in the system boundary description.
