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.

Knauf_GR_EPD_Gypsum_products_17_10_2022.bmp

This is an average EPD for gypsum powder products produced in the Amphilochia plant in Greece. The LCIA results of the LCA represents the weighted average product. There is no significant differentiation among the environmental performance of each product. The products included are:
■ Knauf Fugenfueller Leicht
■ Knauf Fugenfueller Impregnated
■ Knauf Perlfix
■ Knauf FE 60 Magic
■ Gypsum for constructions
■ Decorative Gypsum
■ Gypsum Plaster MP 75L
■ Gypsum Plaster Rotband
Knauf Fugenfueller Leicht and Knauf Fugenfueller Impregnated are powder materials based on gypsum and various admixtures that give the required properties for their use. The impregnated material is water repellent and has the same color as the impregnated Knauf plasterboard. They are used for the joint treatment of gypsum boards with, or without, the use of the appropriate jointing tape depending on the type of the plasterboards edges.
Knauf Perlfix is a special gypsum-based adhesive for applying gypsum boards on vertical surfaces.
Knauf FE 60 Magic is a self levelling floor screed made of calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate, portland cement, special additives, liquidators and sand of specific grain size.
Knauf gypsum for constructions is a particularly fast-curing, high-strength special gypsum for installation and repair work. Ideal for setting and fixing electrical sockets, as well as for attaching Knauf cornice strips and Knauf plaster profiles. Suitable for filling holes and slots, it is applied on wall and ceiling surfaces internally.
Knauf Decorative gypsum is a fast-setting universal plaster suitable for making decorative plastered objects.
Gypsum Plasters Knauf MP 75L and Knauf Rotband are light and particularly efficient pre-mixed dry mortar on proven plaster gypsum basis with special light aggregates for smoothed interior surfaces.&nbsp;
Knauf MP 75L is specifically formulated for machine application and Knauf Rotband for hand application.
