“The market” in the hierarchy for selecting inventory data to model the electricity used, shall be defined as being the (residual or consumption) grid mix of the country where the electricity is used, with exceptions for specified countries for which sub-national electricity grid mixes shall be used: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, India, and USA.
This specification of how the market shall be defined was added in the PCR template, in the EPD and PCR FAQs, and in version 1.2.5 of PCR 2019:14 Construction products, as of 2022-11-01. It was subsequently implemented version 5.0.0 of the General Programme Instructions (GPI). To not interfere with ongoing EPD developments, there was a 6-month transition period that ended 2023-04-30 under which other definitions of the market were accepted.
