Round and sawn timber - Environmental Product Declarations - Product category rules for wood and wood-based products for use in construction
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 16485 standard establishes Product Category Rules (PCR) specifically for wood and wood-based products used in construction. These PCR provide guidelines for creating Type III environmental declarations, which focus on assessing the environmental impact of the products throughout their life cycle.
The standard is designed to be used in conjunction with EN 15804, which defines the core rules for environmental product declarations (EPDs) in the construction sector. By using these PCR, manufacturers can transparently communicate the environmental performance of their wood and wood-based products to consumers and stakeholders.
The standard covers a wide range of construction and related processes, including manufacturing, transportation, installation, and end-of-life management. It aims to promote sustainable practices and support informed decision-making in construction projects.
