This European standard provides Europe wide product category rules (PCR) for Type III environmental
declarations for “buried non-pressure plastics piping systems” subsequently named as “buried plastics
piping systems”.
This European Standard specifies the rules for the product category of construction products as defined in
and is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 15804.
NOTE 1 The assessment of social and economic performances at product level is not covered by this
standard.
NOTE 2 For the purpose of this EN XXYY standard the word “building” is always replaced by “buried
plastics piping systems” or constructions.
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 predetermined, environmental and health information, that is not covered
by LCA for a product, construction process and construction service where necessary,
- defines the conditions under which construction products can be compared based on the information
provided by EPD.
Additional to the common parts of EN 15804 this European Standard for European buried plastics piping
