This document serves as Product Category Rules (PCR) for Construction products. It aims to be the main way to develop and register EPDs in the International EPD System, compliant with the European standard EN 15804:2012+A2:2019/AC:2021 (Sustainability of construction works - Environmental product declarations - Core rules for the product category of construction products).
This PCR allows for an EPD to be produced either:
<ul>
<li>directly using this PCR, or</li>
<li>using this PCR document together with a c-PCR.</li>
</ul>
The following c-PCRs currently exist, and shall be used in addition to this document for the relevant product categories:
<ul>
<li style="margin-left:1.5em;">c-PCR-001 Cement and building lime</li>
<li style="margin-left:1.5em;">c-PCR-002 Ceramic tiles</li>
<li style="margin-left:1.5em;">c-PCR-003 Concrete and concrete elements</li>
<li style="margin-left:1.5em;">c-PCR-004 Resilient, textile and laminate floor coverings</li>
<li style="margin-left:1.5em;">c-PCR-005 Thermal insulation products</li>
<li style="margin-left:1.5em;">c-PCR-006 Wood and wood-based products for use in construction</li>
<li style="margin-left:1.5em;">c-PCR-007 Windows and doors</li>
<li style="margin-left:1.5em;">c-PCR-008 Lifts (elevators)</li>
<li style="margin-left:1.5em;">c-PCR-009 Flat glass products</li>
<li style="margin-left:1.5em;">c-PCR-010 Guardrails and bridge parapets</li>

<li style="margin-left:1.5em;">c-PCR-012 Rehabilitation of highways, strees and roads</li>
<li style="margin-left:1.5em;">c-PCR-013 Prefabricated buildings intended as special-purpose transportable units</li>
<li style="margin-left:1.5em;">c-PCR-014 Acoustical wall and ceiling solutions</li>
<li style="margin-left:1.5em;">c-PCR-015 Synthetic carpet yarn</li>
<li style="margin-left:1.5em;">c-PCR-016 Photovoltaic modules and parts thereof</li>
<li style="margin-left:1.5em;">c-PCR-017 Technical-chemical products (for construction sector)</li>
<li style="margin-left:1.5em;">c-PCR-018 Ventilation components</li>
<li style="margin-left:1.5em;">c-PCR-019 Electrical cables and wires (for construction sector)</li>
<li style="margin-left:1.5em;">c-PCR-020 Building hardware</li>
<li style="margin-left:1.5em;">c-PCR-021 Furniture</li>
<li style="margin-left:1.5em;">c-PCR-022 Road infrastructure</li>
<li style="margin-left:1.5em;">c-PCR-023 Railway infrastructure&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
Additional c-PCRs are currently under development and adoption.
The PCR and the c-PCRs may be downloaded in the EPD Portal. It is free to register in the EPD Portal.

Construction products (EN 15804:A2)

Version 1.2 of this PCR was published 2022-06-22. Later this has been updated with editorial changes; the most recent version is 1.2.5.
Most importantly, version 1.2 version complies with version 4 of the GPI. See Section 8 in the PCR for a list of changes compared to version 1.11 of the PCR.
Version 1.11 is still valid, in parallell to version 1.2.X, during transition period ending 2023-08-01.
Previously, the sunset dates for version 1.11 have been 2022-12-31 and 2023-03-31, but its validity has been extended to allow the market time to finalise EPD projects based on version 1.11, adjust to the changes implemented as of version 1.2, and due to unforeseen technical challenges.
