Are all EPDs compliant with EN 15804?

Created by Danielle Crowter Elfving, Modified on Wed, 13 Mar 2024 at 04:59 PM by Ariadna Serra

No, the European standard EN 15804:2012+A1:2013, “Sustainability of construction works - Environmental product declarations - Core rules for the product category of construction products” is limited to construction products. It is thus not applicable or used for EPDs of for example food and beverages. 


For many key aspects, however, the International EPD® System has aligned with the standard for all product categories. This includes a five year validity of all EPD (instead of the previous three years ) and the main environmental indicators.
