Open consultation of PCR for Social Product Declaration (SPD)

On behalf of the PCR Committee and PCR Moderator that have prepared the draft document, we kindly invite to the online open consultation of Product Category Rules for Social Product Declaration (SPD) of rolling stock.

This is part of a pilot study exploring the feasibility of SPDs. SPDs are similar to EPDs but cover aspects of social sustainability instead of environmental sustainability.

There is not yet a system for registering SPDs in the International EPD® System, nor procedures for verifying SPDs or developing PCRs for SPDs. The pilot study is a first step in testing the feasibility of SPDs, to potentially enable the registration of SPDs in the future.

Here you can find the draft PCR for download and contact information to the PCR Moderator. Deadline to submit comments is 2023-01-07.

We hope you will have the possibility to comment on the draft or to forward this message to other interested parties.

If you have questions, please contact the Secretariat.
