Scope

This European Standard supports the development of Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) according to EN 15804. It defines data quality requirements with respect to temporal, technological and geographic representativeness for the data used to calculate the LCA based indicator results of the EPD and for construction works when applying EPD, life cycle inventory data or other LCA based information. This European Standard assists in selecting data according to the core product category rules of EN 15804 for the preparation of EPD of construction products, processes and services and for the environmental performance assessment of buildings according to EN 15978 in a consistent way.

Purpose

Revision of TR15941 in an EN- According to the amendment of M/350 in this process CEN/TR 15941 is to be upgraded into EN 15941.

This new standard is intended to describe the criteria, hierarchy and sources of data when using primary (specific) and secondary (generic) data and for environmental product declarations. The methodology will comply with the requirements of ISO 14044 and be compatible with the PEF approach. The standard will:

• support the development of the product category rules by product TCs with respect to the selection of secondary data,

• provide for ease of data transfer by addressing the use of a common LCI – nomenclature.
