Round and Sawn Timber - Environmental Product Declarations - Product Category Rules for Wood and Wood-Based Products for Use in Construction
Also Known As:
BS EN 16485:2014 is a standard that provides guidelines and rules for creating environmental product declarations (EPDs) for wood and wood-based products that are used in construction. This standard falls under the category of Type III environmental declarations, which focus on the communication of environmental information regarding the life cycle of a product.
The purpose of this standard is to establish consistent and reliable guidelines for creating EPDs for the wood and wood-based products industry. These EPDs provide information about the environmental performance of these products, including factors such as energy consumption, resource depletion, greenhouse gas emissions, and waste generation.
The standard covers both round and sawn timber, which are commonly used materials in construction. The EPDs created using the guidelines provided in this standard can be used to compare different wood and wood-based products and make informed decisions based on their environmental impact.
