Discussion Paper – Proposals for minimum requirements on LCI database’s quality & transparency
In the EU, Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are the go-to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) instrument to disclose environmental impacts of construction products. The latter is usually carried out according to the European Standard EN 15804+A2, which contains core rules on how disclosure needs to be carried out. With the new obligations under the Construction Product Regulation (CPR) and its implementation (under the CPR Acquis), data from EPDs will gradually become mandatory for every construction product placed on the EU market via the Declaration of Performances (DoPs).
