“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 EPD and PCR FAQs, and in version 1.2.5 of PCR 2019:14 Construction products, in 2022-11-01. It will also be implemented in the next version of the GPI. To not interfere with ongoing EPD developments, there is a 6-month transition period ending 2023-04-30 under which other definitions of the market are accepted (but it is recommended to adhere to this specification also in the transition period).
