This document provides product category rules (c-PCR), that are complementary to EN 15804:2012+A2:2019, for Type III environmental declarations for gypsum-based products for the construction industry.
This document:
—   specifies the functional and/or declared unit to be used;
—   defines the default system boundaries for gypsum-based construction products;
—   defines allocation procedures for the environmental impact of recycling and/or the use of by-products;
—   describes the default scenarios and rules for defining scenarios for each of the life cycle information modules A-D;
—   provides guidance for the determination of the reference service life (RSL) for gypsum-based construction products.
NOTE 1   Annex B of EN 15804:2012+A2:2019 has been complemented in an annex to this document.
NOTE 2   An Annex F has been added to this document.
