EN 15804+A1 2012
In 2019 the EN 15804+A1 2012 was updated to EN 15804+A2 Sustainability of construction works - Environmental product declarations - Core rules for the product category of construction products. The application of the previous standard expired in October 2022, so all EPD's created according to this standard must have been published by then and submitted for verification by the end of July 2022. The previous core environmental impacts that were assessed were as follows (EN 15804+A1)
- Global warming potential (GWP)
- Ozone depletion potential (ODP)
- Photochemical ozone creation potential (POCP)
- Acidification potential (AP)
