Product Category Rules (PCRs) provide the specific requirements for an EPD within a particular group and are critical to the transparency and comparability of EPDs.
All EPDs for construction and building products must use PCR 2019:14 Construction products (EN 15804:A2) as the core PCR. The latest version numbers can be found here by searching for ‘Construction products’ in the Product Category. Complementary PCRs (c-PCRs) are also applicable to many construction product groups.
PCRs already exist for many other product groups. Copies of all existing PCRs and c-PCRs can be downloaded (after registration) on the EPD Portal here.
If a PCR does not exist for your product category of interest, one must be developed. PCR documents are prepared in an open, transparent and participatory process among companies and branch organisations to ensure the provision and input of appropriate product-specific knowledge and expertise.
Read more about the process of developing a PCR here.
If the validity period for a PCR has expired, the document can be updated and reactivated for a period of time.

For assistance in finding or developing a PCR please contact the Secretariat.
