PCR description
A new version of this PCR, version 3.05, was adopted 2023-05-04. It's available for download here.
This PCR has previously expired 2023-11-30, but its validity period was first prolonged until 2024-06-30, and later until 2024-12-31, 2025-07-31, and 2025-10-31, due to a delay in the updating process.
The intended application of this Product Category Rules (PCR) document is to provide guidance for developing Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for tires and to pinpoint the underlying requirements of a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) pursuant to ISO standards that address appropriate environmental aspects of the tire life cycle. The user of this PCR will be manufacturers of tires and other interested parties and will enable EPDs that support comparable, informed, and objective evaluation of tires.
This PCR is valid for tires used in passenger vehicle, light truck, medium and heavy truck, pickup, city and school bus, coaches, aircraft, off-the-road vehicles and motorcycle as further described in Section 2.1 of the PCR. This PCR is global in scope and presents a harmonized calculation procedure for tire-attributed vehicle use stage emissions.
This document was developed under the UL Environment EPD programme. It has been adopted to be used in the International EPD System after confirmation from UL Environment and after being reviewed by the Technical Committee.
