Two PCRs developed by EPD Norway have been adopted by The International EPD System. A PCR for building ventilation components and a PCR for electrical cables and wires used in the construction sector. Both comply with the latest EN15804+A2.
EPDs registered with EPD Norway can also be listed within the International EPD System, for a small fee.
The adoption follows a recent agreement the International EPD System and the EPD Programmes of Denmark and Norway. The agreement covers a mutual recognition of EPDs including the PCRs they comply with.
There are already several EPDs already registered for ventilation products available here. Multiple EPDs registered for electrical cables and wires are available here.
