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 the Core PCR
An EPD according to this document provides quantified environmental information for building
hardware 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 building hardware, 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 building hardware are carried out in the context of their application in
the building;
— the consistent communication of the environmental information of building hardware.
Declarations based on this document are not comparative assertions.
NOTE See definition 3.4 in EN 15804:2012+A2:2019 and EN ISO 14044:2006, 5.3 for more information
concerning LCA used for comparative assertion.
