Complementary Product Category Rules for Gypsum-based Construction Products
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 17328 standard is a European standard that focuses on providing guidelines for Type III environmental declarations for gypsum-based products used in construction. These guidelines are an addition to the common parts outlined in EN 15804.
This standard specifies the functional and/or declared unit that should be used when conducting environmental assessments for gypsum-based construction products. It also defines the default system boundaries for these products, ensuring that the assessment covers all relevant stages of their life cycle.
Furthermore, DIN EN 17328 outlines allocation procedures for taking into account the environmental impact of recycling and/or the use of by-products in the production of gypsum-based products. It establishes default scenarios and rules for defining various scenarios for each life cycle information module (A-D).
Finally, the standard provides guidance on how to determine the reference service life (RSL) for gypsum-based construction products. This information is crucial as it allows for accurate assessment of the products' environmental performance over their lifespan.
