Environmental Product Declaration EPD
We carry out Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) in accordance with standard ISO 14025 to classify the sustainability of construction products and services.
There is a set of product category rules, PCR, to guarantee the comparability principle.
Regulation 305/2011, which establishes conditions for the marketing of construction products and which repeals Directive 89/106/EEC, considers that “For the assessment of the sustainable use of resources and of the impact of construction works on the environment, Environmental Product Declarations should be used when available”.
