Sustainability of construction works - Environmental product declarations - Product category rules
This standard is applicable to building products, processes and services. The product category rules specify requirements for all building products in accordance with ISO 21930 (proposed to be implemented as EN ISO 21930 in another Work Item) and ISO 14025 for the intended audience whether business or consumers. This standard supports the application of environmental product declarations for the assessment of the environmental performance of buildings and for the assessment of the health & comfort performance of buildings in the framework of the integrated performance of buildings.
Nachhaltigkeit von Bauwerken - Umweltdeklarationen für Produkte - Regeln für Produktkategorien
Diese freiwillige europäische Norm stellt die Produktkategorieregeln (PCR) für Typ III Umweltdeklarationen für alle europäischen Bauprodukte und -dienstleistungen auf.
Die PCR:
definieren die zu deklarierenden Indikatoren und weitere Parameter und wie sie gesammelt und dargestellt werden;
beinhalten die Regeln zur Berechnung der Ökobilanz, der Sachbilanz und der Informationsmodule, die einer EPD zugrunde liegen, einschließlich der Anforderungen an die Datenqualität;
beschreiben welche Stadien und welche Prozesse in einem Stadium des Lebenszyklus eines Produktes in der EPD berücksichtigt werden;
definieren die Regeln zur Szenarienbildung;
beinhalten die Regeln zur Berechnung und Darstellung weiterer relevanter zusätzlicher Umweltin-formationen für ein Bauprodukt, Bauprozess oder –dienstleistung, wo nötig;
definieren die Bedingungen unter denen Bauprodukte mit Hilfe von EPD-Informationen verglichen werden können.
Für EPD von Dienstleistungen gelten dieselben Regeln und Anforderungen wie für Produkte.
ANMERKUNG In dieser Norm ist EPD die Abkürzung für environmental product declaration, die synonym mit Typ III Umweltdeklaration verwendet wird. In der Praxis der Deklarationsgestaltung werden Programme und ihre Deklarationen mit unterschiedlichen Namen versehen, wie Eco-profile, Umweltdeklarationen für Produkte, EPD oder Umweltprofile.
Développement durable dans la construction - Déclarations environnementales des produits de construction - Règles propres à la catégorie de produits
La présente Norme européenne volontaire fournit les règles applicables à la catégorie de produits (RCP) pour les déclarations environnementales de type III portant sur les produits et services de construction Européens.
Les RCP :
définissent les indicateurs et autres paramètres à déclarer et la manière dont ils sont recueillis et rapportés ;
comportent les règles de calcul de l'analyse de cycle de vie, de l’inventaire du cycle de vie ou des modules d’information servant de base à une DEP, y compris la spécification de la qualité des données utilisées ;
décrivent les étapes du cycle de vie d’un produit qui sont prises en compte dans la DEP et quels processus sont inclus dans les étapes du cycle de vie ;
définissent les règles pour le développement de scénarios ;
comportent les règles de calcul et de déclaration de toutes les informations environnementales additionnelles pertinentes pour un produit, un processus de construction et un service, le cas échéant ;
définissent les conditions dans lesquelles les produits de construction peuvent être comparés sur la base des informations fournies par la DEP.
Les mêmes règles et exigences relatives à la DEP des produits de construction s’appliquent également à la DEP des services.
NOTE Dans la présente norme, DEP est une abréviation de « déclaration environnementale de produit », qui est un synonyme de « Déclaration environnementale de type III ». Dans la pratique de développement des déclarations environnementales de type III, les programmes ou leurs déclarations sont désignés par diverses appellations telles que éco-profil, déclaration environnementale de produit (DEP), ou profil environnemental.

Foreword
This document (prEN 15804:2008) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 350 “Sustainability of
construction works”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
Introduction
This European standard provides Product Category Rules for all construction products. It provides a structure
to ensure that all Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) of construction products, services and
construction processes are derived, controlled and presented in a harmonised way.
The standardisation process has taken place in an open consultation, as required in ISO 14025. All common
issues are covered horizontally (all product types) as far as possible, which minimises vertical (sector specific)
deviations.
The EPD information is expressed in information modules, which allows easy organisation and expression of
data packages throughout the life cycle of the product. The approach requires that the underlying data should
be consistent, reproducible and comparable.
The EPD is expressed in a form that allows aggregation (summation) to provide complete information for
buildings. This standard does not deal with aggregation for the building level nor does this standard describe
the rules for applying EPD in building assessment. These rules will be found in the future standard WI 350003,
„Use of EPD”.
This standard does not define requirements for developing and operating EPD programs. These requirements
are found in ISO 14025.
The standard deals only with a limited number of indicators for which quantification is available with sufficient
experience. Future revisions may incorporate further agreed indicators.
This European Standard is part of a suite of standards that are intended to provide the means for the
declaration of environmental pe
