Cement and Building Lime: Environmental Product Declarations - Product Category Rules Complementary to EN 15804
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 16908/A1 standard provides guidelines for creating cradle-to-gate Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for cement and building lime. The standard is complementary to EN 15804:2012+A1:2013 and follows the scope defined in that standard.
The purpose of this standard is to establish consistent and transparent methods for assessing the environmental impact of cement and building lime products. It outlines the specific requirements and guidelines for conducting life cycle assessments (LCA) and creating EPDs for these products. The goal is to provide accurate and reliable information about the environmental performance of cement and building lime, enabling consumers, architects, and other stakeholders to make informed decisions.
The standard covers the entire lifecycle of cement and building lime, from the extraction of raw materials to the production and delivery of the final product. It specifies the data requirements, calculation methodologies, and reporting formats to be used in LCA and EPD development. This standard ensures that EPDs for cement and building lime are consistent, comparable, and meet the requirements of EN 15804.
