Product Category Rules (PCR)

The Product Category Rules (PCRs) are vital for the concept of environmental declarations and climate declarations. The PCRs enable transparency for the EPD-development and also comparability between differents EPDs based on the same PCR. On this website you can find information about PCR development, search among PCRs (free to download) and also discuss PCR related issues.

1. The Initiation phase starts the PCR development. The PCR moderator is appointed by the Secretariat.
2. During the Preparation phase the PCR content is specified. The PCR Basic Modules provide guidance.
3. The Consultation phase gives the stakeholders an opportunity to comment on the PCR.
4. The Approval and publication phase ends the PCR development.
5. The PCR is a living document and comments are handled during the Update Phase.
