The new standard En 15804: 2012 + A2: 2019 is the most important news from Europe in recent months regarding the development of EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations) in the construction sector.<\/p>\n
It introduces some substantial changes, compared to the old version, to the calculation of the product life cycle (LCA).<\/p>\n
The main change concerns the obligation to deliver an Lca document which includes modules A1-A3 (production and consumption of energy and materials), C1-C4 (demolition \/ deconstruction processes, transport, disposal and recycling of the product) and module D (credits deriving from all flows in the end of life phases). Forms A4-A5 (transport and installation) and B1-B7 (relating to the use and maintenance of the product inside the building) will instead be mandatory only for EPD “from cradle to grave”.<\/p>\n
A second modification concerns the possibility, in some conditions, of excluding modules C1-C4 and D and a third inserts some environmental parameters to be declared, which derive directly from the PEF world.<\/p>\n
Following the entry into force of the standard En 15804: 2012 + A2: 2019, the process of revision of the EPDItaly documentation has already started, in particular of the Pcr ICMQ 001\/15 rev. 3 for construction products, which has already been published and fully incorporates the provisions of the standard and of the EPDItaly Regulation, in revision 5.<\/p>\n
Given the significant impact of the new standard on Epd to be developed, EPDItaly has established a transition period which will end on October 31, 2022, during which it will be possible for the manufacturer to use, at his choice, the Regulation rev. 4 and En 15804: 2012 + A1: 2013, already active for some time, through Pcr 001-15 rev. 2.1, or the new Regulation (just available) and the Pcr ICMQ 001\/15 rev. 3, compliant with the new En 15804: 2012 + A2: 2019.<\/p>\n
EPDItaly technicians are available for any clarifications.<\/p>\n
