construction and related construction and in-service processes.<\/p>\n<p>This European Standard complements 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.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>NOTE The assessment of social and economic performances at product level is not covered by this standard.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The core PCR:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>define the parameters to be declared and the way in which they are collated and reported;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>describe which stages of a product\u2019s life cycle are considered in the EPD and which processes are to be included in the life cycle stages;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>define rules for the development of scenarios;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>include 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;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>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 necessary;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>define the conditions under which construction products can be compared based on the information provided by EPD.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For the EPD of construction services, the same rules and requirements apply as for the EPD of construction products.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally to the common parts of EN 15804, this European Standard for wood and wood-based products:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>defines the system boundaries;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>defines the rules for modelling and assessment of material-specific characteristics such as carbon storage and energy content of wood;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>defines allocation procedures for multi-output processes along the wood chain;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>defines allocation procedures for reuse, recycling and energy recovery;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>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;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>provides guidance\/specific rules for the determination of the Reference Service Life (RSL).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h4>PDF
