Introduction
EN 15804:2012+A2:2019 provides core product category rules for all construction products and
services. It provides a structure to ensure that all Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) of
construction products, construction services and construction processes are derived, verified, and
presented in a harmonized way.
This document provides complementary product category rules (c-PCR) for Type III Environmental
Declarations (EPD) specifically for curtain walling.
An EPD communicates verifiable, accurate, non-misleading environmental information for products and
their applications, thereby supporting scientifically based, fair choices and stimulating the potential for
market-driven continuous environmental improvement.
The standardization process has taken place in accordance with EN ISO 14025. All common issues for
curtain walling are covered horizontally in order to minimize intra-sectorial deviations.
EPD information is expressed in information modules, which allow easy organization and expression of
data packages throughout the lifecycle of the product. The approach requires that the underlying data
should be consistent, reproducible and comparable.
The EPD is expressed in a form that allows aggregation (addition) to provide complete information for
buildings. Neither EN 15804:2012+A2:2019 nor this document deals with aggregation at the building
level or describes the rules for applying EPD in building assessment.
This document deals with a limited number of quantifiable predetermined parameters as defined in
EN 15804:2012+A2:2019. Future revisions may incorporate additional predetermined parameters.
This document provides the means for developing a Type III environmental declaration for curtain
walling, thereby supplementing the suite of standards that are intended to assess the sustainability of
construction works.
This series of standards includes:
— EN 15643, Sustainability of construction works — Framework for assessment of buildings and civil
engineering works;
— EN 15804:2012+A2:2019, Sustainability of construction works — Environmental product declarations
— Core rules for the product category of construction products;
— EN 15941, Sustainability of construction works — Data quality for environmental assessment of
products and construction work - Selection and use of data;
— EN 15942, Sustainability of construction works — Environmental product declarations —
Communication formats: business to business;
— EN 15978, Sustainability of construction works — Assessment of environmental performance of
buildings — Calculation method.
1 Scope
This document provides product category rules (PCR) for Type III environmental declarations for curtain
walling as defined in EN 13830:2015+A1:2020, excluding openable infills. Openable infills are addressed
in EN 17213:2020.
This document complements the core rules for the product category of construction products as defined
in EN 15804:2012+A2:2019. This document complements EN 15804:2012+A2:2019 and does not
replace it.
NOTE The assessment of social and economic performances at product level is not covered by this document.
The core PCR:
— defines the parameters to be declared and the way in which they are collated and reported;
— describes which stages of a product’s life cycle are considered in the EPD and which processes are to
be included in the life cycle stages;
— defines rules for the development of scenarios;
— includes the rules for calculating the life cycle inventory and the life cycle impact assessment
underlying the EPD, including the specification of the data quality to be applied;
— includes the rules for reporting the predetermined, environmental and health information that is not
covered by life cycle assessment (LCA) for the product, construction process(es) and construction
service(s), as relevant;
— defines the conditions under which construction products can be compared based on the information
provided by EPD.
For the EPD of construction services the same rules and requirements apply as for the EPD of
construction products.

5 General aspects
5.1 Objective of this PCR
An EPD according to this document provides quantified environmental information for a curtain walling
using a uniform and scientific basis. It also provides information on health related emissions to indoor
air, soil and water during the use stage of the building. The purpose of an EPD in the construction sector
is to provide the basis for assessing building and other construction works, and identifying those which
cause less stress to the environment.
Thus, the objective of this complementary PCR is to ensure:
— the provision of verifiable and consistent data for an EPD for curtain walling, based on LCA;
— the provision of verifiable and consistent product related technical data or scenarios for the
assessment of the environmental performance of buildings;
— the provision of verifiable and consistent product related technical data or scenarios potentially
related to the health of users for the assessment of the performance of buildings;
— that comparisons between curtain walling are carried out in the context of their application in the
building;
— the consistent communication of the environmental information of door sets and windows.
Declarations based on this document are not comparative assertions.
