  • Get involved with ECOS – answer our calls for experts!

    We have a number of open calls for experts across various topics. Our experts provide us with technical and scientific input and represent ECOS in standardisation processes and multi-stakeholder discussions. ECOS experts can participate in technical meetings for standardising bodies, such as CEN/CENELEC or ISO or prepare technical input for ECOS position papers and our responses to consultations.

    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).

ECOS is co-funded by the European Commission and EFTA Funded by the European Union. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or EISMEA.
