Sustainability of Construction Works: Environmental Product Declarations - Core Rules for the Product Category of Construction Products
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 15804 standard sets out the core rules for environmental product declarations (EPD) for construction products. It focuses on the sustainability of construction works and provides guidelines for the development and reporting of information related to the environmental impacts of a product throughout its life cycle.
The standard defines the indicators that should be declared and the manner in which they should be collated and reported. It also specifies the life cycle stages that should be considered in the EPD, as well as the processes that should be included within these stages. Additionally, the standard outlines the rules for developing scenarios and calculating the life cycle inventory and life cycle impact assessment.
The DIN EN 15804 standard also includes rules for reporting predetermined, environmental, and health information that may not be covered by the life cycle assessment for a product, construction process, or construction service. This ensures that a comprehensive range of information is provided in the EPD.
Furthermore, the standard defines the conditions under which construction products can be compared based on the information provided in the EPD. It notes that the same rules and requirements apply for the EPD of construction services as for the EPD of construction products.
