DIN EN 17388-2 PDF Download

DIN EN 17388-2 is a standard that provides Product Category Rules (PCR) for the assessment of the environmental performance of flexible sheets used for waterproofing, specifically bituminous and synthetic flexible sheets for roof waterproofing. The standard refers to EN 13707 and EN 13956 as the reference product standards for these flexible sheets.

The purpose of this standard is to establish rules for the development and issuance of cradle to gate with options Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) using specific data. The standard defines the parameters that need to be declared, as well as the methods for collecting and reporting these parameters. It also specifies which stages of the product's life cycle are considered in the EPD and which processes should be included in these life cycle stages.

Furthermore, DIN EN 17388-2 provides rules for calculating the Life Cycle Inventory and the Life Cycle Impact Assessment underlying an EPD. These calculations require the use of high-quality data. The standard is developed in accordance with EN15804 and EN15942, which are European standards that facilitate the development of Type III environmental declarations for construction products. These standards are part of a suite of standards designed to assess the sustainability of construction works.
