Cement and Building Lime - Environmental Product Declarations - Product Category Rules Complementary to EN 15804
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 16908 standard is a complementary standard to EN 15804 that provides guidelines for creating Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for cement and building lime. EPDs are comprehensive, standardized documents that communicate the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle, from raw material extraction to manufacturing and disposal.
The standard specifically focuses on cradle-to-gate EPDs, meaning it covers the environmental impact of the product until it leaves the factory gate. The scope of the standard aligns with EN 15804, which outlines the general scope for PCR.
By following the guidelines set forth in DIN EN 16908, manufacturers of cement and building lime can accurately calculate and report the environmental impact of their products. This allows consumers, construction professionals, and policymakers to make informed decisions regarding sustainability and environmental performance.
