17、2011 (E) DIN EN 15942:2012-01 2 Foreword This document (EN 15942:2011) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 350 “Sustainability of construction works”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication
18、 of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by March 2012, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by March 2012. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not
19、be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document, supports the use of Product Category Rules (FprEN 15804:2011) for construction products. Together they are used as the means for arriving Environmental Product Declarations (EPD). According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal
20、Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg
21、, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. EN 15942:2011 (E) DIN EN 15942:2012-01 3 Introduction The aim of this European Standard is to harmonise the way in which environmental product declarations (EPD) are commun
22、icated in Europe. It is relevant to the use of the EPD in the building chain where materials and products are assembled into new products and assemblies, each with their own EPD. This European Standard will improve handling of the data from EPD at the building level and the assessment of environment
23、al performance of buildings. An EPD expressed in a standardized format will facilitate the communication of the products environmental performance for business-to-business (B2B). 1 Scope This European Standard is applicable to all construction products and services related to buildings and construct
24、ion works. It specifies and describes the communication format for the information defined in FprEN 15804 for business-to-business communication to ensure a common understanding through consistent communication of information. NOTE This European Standard does not deal with business to consumer commu
25、nication and is not intended for that purpose. Business to consumer communication format is planned to be the subject of a future document. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited a
26、pplies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

29、number that carry meaning contributing to its precision NOTE This includes all digits except: leading and trailing zeros where they serve merely as placeholders to indicate the scale of the number, spurious digits introduced, for example, by calculations carried out to greater accuracy than that of
30、the original data, or measurements reported to a greater precision than the EPD supports. 4 Symbols and abbreviations B2B Business-to-business EPD Environmental Product Declaration ITM Information Transfer Matrix LCA Life Cycle Assessment LCIA Life Cycle Impact Assessment PCR Product Category Rules
31、5 General principles To present environmental information in a structured and consistent way and in a common format, a generic template is used. The generic template is used for information transfer. The generic template is called an Information Transfer Matrix (ITM). The ITM: does not preclude the
32、fact that an EPD can have an individual and unique format; is the standardized part of EPD communication according to FprEN 15804; a statement whether the ITM has been independently verified shall be made. The ITM addresses the following types of information according to FprEN 15804: general informa
33、tion; declaration of environmental parameters derived from LCA: parameters describing environmental impacts; parameters describing resource input; additional environmental information describing different waste categories and output flows; scenarios and technical information; additional information
34、on emissions to indoor air, soil and water during the use stage. NOTE For all quantified data, the corresponding scenario is specified in accordance with FprEN 15804. EN 15942:2011 (E) DIN EN 15942:2012-01 5 6 Requirements for EPD communication format An EPD shall include an ITM. The following requi
35、rements on formatting apply (electronic and paper): according to EN ISO 14020 the information in the ITM shall not be misleading. Structure: the EPD information shall be accurately placed in its unique position identified in the ITM, according to Annex A. Numerical data: quantitative data shall be n
36、umerically reported in the appropriate units of measurement as prescribed in FprEN 15804; numerical reporting of no more than three significant figures shall be applied. Use of language (text): text shall be clearly written adopting a single language throughout; where text is conveying a qualitative
37、 issue or parameter, it shall provide sufficient detail as to give transparency and precise and accurate understanding of that issue or parameter. 7 Information Transfer Matrix 7.1 General This clause defines the standardized part of the EPD communication i.e. the generic template. Communication of
38、standardized environmental information for construction products and services requires a format that provides a location of all elements of information from different sources. The ITM provides a unique and consistent reference position in a grid. With reference to FprEN 15804 the ITM will contain so
39、me information, which is mandatory and some information, which is voluntary, and so in some cases blanks or gaps can occur in the ITM. The matrix provides the template for communicating this information for each of the information modules as defined in FprEN 15804:2011, Figure 1. The matrix is also
40、used for communicating the information for any of the scenarios, which can occur and/or the respective technical information for these scenarios. The ITM consists of a grid structure in which all items of information according to FprEN 15804 shall be presented. The ITM allows reporting of an EPD cov
41、ering a full life cycle, but also for example, of information representing single or multiple scenarios for discrete life cycle stages such as production, use or end of life. Where multiple scenarios for discrete life cycle stages or information modules are to be reported the ITM shall be separated
42、into sub-ITM-tables where each sub table addresses all the scenarios related to a specific life cycle stage or information module. These sub-ITM-tables shall follow the structure of the master-ITM-Tables A.2 to A.8. Where there are known linkages between scenarios of different modules these shall be
43、 stated in Table A.2. The content of an EPD shall be communicated at minimum through the ITM as given in Annex A. For EPDs which cover only cradle to gate or cradle to gate with options, only the product stage ITM and where relevant scenario ITM shall be provided. EN 15942:2011 (E) DIN EN 15942:2012
44、-01 6 7.2 Aggregation of information The information modules A1, A2, and A3 may be reported separately and/or aggregated to a sub sum of the information module “I Product Stage”. No other aggregations shall be made. EN 15942:2011 (E) DIN EN 15942:2012-01 7 Annex A (normative) Master ITM The Tables A
45、.1 to A.7 reflect the parameters required in FprEN 15804.
