Sustainability of construction works - Environmental product declarations - Use of environmental product declaration (EPD) cen:proj:26541

Scope

This standard is applicable to cradle to grave as well as modular environmental product declarations (EPD) of building products, processes and services. It describes the requirements placed on any EPD when it is to be applied in combination with other EPD for the assessment of the environmental performance of a building. This standard gives the rules for converting the product, process or service related information, from an EPD supplying the information as related to the performance in the building.
This includes information about service life, technical performance and performance requirements. (The conversion will take account of the need to avoid data gaps, data overlaps and double counting. It also includes checking consistency, completeness and comparability as well as equivalence in quality of applied data derived from different EPD.

Note : The previous scope was introducing environmental and health and comfort aspects - this aspects are now included in the scope of the WG5 is working on the document).
Proposal is made to make reference to the framework document dealing on the social aspects from WG5
