24、duction European Standard EN 15804 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
25、 presented in a harmonized way. This European Standard provides rules for Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) specifically for wood and wood-based products. It complements the core product category rules for all construction products and services as established in EN 15804. An EPD communicates
26、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 wi
27、th EN ISO 14025. All common issues are covered horizontally for all product types in order to minimise vertical (branch specific) deviations. All common issues are covered horizontally for all wood and wood-based products in order to minimise intra-sectoral deviations. EPD information is expressed i
28、n information modules as defined in EN 15804, which allow easy organization and expression of data packages throughout the life cycle of wood and wood-based products. The approach requires that the underlying data should be consistent, reproducible and comparable. In line with EN 15804, the EPD is e
29、xpressed in a form that allows aggregation (addition) to provide complete information for buildings. This standard does not deal with aggregation at the building level nor does this standard describe the rules for applying EPD in a building assessment. The standard deals with a limited number of qua
30、ntifiable parameters as predefined in EN 15804. Future revisions of EN 15804 may lead to the incorporation of additional predetermined parameters. This European Standard provides the means for developing a Type III environmental declaration of wood and wood-based construction products in the context
31、 of the suite of standards that are intended to assess the sustainability of construction works. This suite of standards includes: EN 15643-1, Sustainability of construction works Sustainability assessment of buildings Part 1: General framework EN 15643-2, Sustainability of construction works Assess
32、ment of buildings Part 2: Framework for the assessment of environmental performance EN 15978, Sustainability of construction works Assessment of environmental performance of buildings Calculation method EN 15804, Sustainability of construction works Environmental product declarations Core rules for

34、iness BS EN 16485:2014EN 16485:2014 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard provides general Product Category Rules (PCR) for Type III environmental declarations for wood and wood-based products for use in construction and related construction and in-service processes. This European Standard complement
35、s the core rules for the product category of construction products as defined in EN 15804 and is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 15804. NOTE The assessment of social and economic performances at product level is not covered by this standard. The core PCR: define the parameters to be decla
36、red and the way in which they are collated and reported; describe which stages of a products life cycle are considered in the EPD and which processes are to be included in the life cycle stages; define rules for the development of scenarios; include the rules for calculating the Life Cycle Inventory
37、 and the Life Cycle Impact Assessment underlying the EPD, including the specification of the data quality to be applied; include the rules for reporting predetermined, environmental and health information, that is not covered by LCA for a product, construction process and construction service where
38、necessary; define 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. Additionally to the common parts of EN 15804, this Europea
39、n Standard for wood and wood-based products: defines the system boundaries; defines the rules for modelling and assessment of material-specific characteristics such as carbon storage and energy content of wood; defines allocation procedures for multi-output processes along the wood chain; defines al
40、location procedures for reuse, recycling and energy recovery; includes the rules for calculating the Life Cycle Inventory and the Life Cycle Impact Assessment underlying the EPD, including the assessment of carbon and energy content of wood; provides guidance/specific rules for the determination of
41、the Reference Service Life (RSL). This European Standard is intended to be used for cradle to gate or cradle to grave assessment, provided the intention is properly stated in the system boundary description.

45、t the object of the assessment Note 1 to entry: Co-product, by-product and product have the same status and are used for identification of several distinguished flows of products from the same unit process. From co-product, by-product and product, waste is the only output to be distinguished as a no
46、n-product. SOURCE: EN 15804:2012, 3.7 Note 2 to entry: When further used as a material or fuel, according to COM (2007)59, (Communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament on the Interpretative Communication on waste and by-products) Annex I, sawdust, wood chips and off-
47、cuts from untreated wood as generated at saw mills or at secondary operation such as the manufacturing of furniture or pallets and packaging and customarily referred to as by-products are, for the purpose of this document, considered co-products. Materials of this type fall outside the definition of
48、 waste. However, where material of this kind requires a full recycling or recovery operation, or contains contaminants that need to be removed before it can be further used or processed, this would indicate that the material is a waste until the recycling or recovery operation is completed. 3.2 biog
