PCR description
This PCR expired on 2025-04-08 and will not be updated. Instead EPD owners are directed to PCR 2019:14 Construction products or, for machines not installed in buildings, PCR 2024:06 Electronic and electric equipment, and eletronic components.
This document provides Product Category Rules (PCR) for the assessment of the environmental performance of air-conditioning machines and the declaration of this performance by an EPD. The product category corresponds to a subset of the UN CPC 43912 Air-conditioning machines.
The PCR covers air-conditioning machines, comprising a motor-driven fan and elements for changing the temperature and humidity, of a kind designed to be fixed to a window, wall, ceiling or floor, self-contained or "split-system", incorporating a refrigerating unit, with or without a valve for reversal of the cooling/heat cycle (reversible heat pumps), that can be used in residential or tertiary buildings. The product category includes the following headings/subheadings of HS 2007:
- 8415.10: Air conditioning machines; comprising a motor-driven fan and elements for changing the temperature and humidity, of a kind designed to be fixed to a window, wall, ceiling or floor, self-contained or "split-system"
- 8415.81: Air conditioning machines; containing a motor driven fan, other than window or wall types, incorporating a refrigerating unit and a valve for reversal of the cooling/heat cycle (reversible heat pumps)
- 8415.82: Air conditioning machines; containing a motor driven fan, other than window or wall types, incorporating a refrigerating unit
For EPDs of air-conditioning machines used in buildings, for which compliance to EN 15804 is relevant, PCR 2019:14 Construction products may instead be used.
Update as of version 1.0.1, 2023-04-28: Only products incorporating a refrigerating unit are within the scope, and thus HS 2007 subheading 8415.83 (Air conditioning machines; containing a motor driven fan, other than window or wall types, not incorporating a refrigerating unit) is not covered by the PCR. An example of products not covered by the PCR are fan coils, for which a PCR development was therefore started in April 2023.
