ISO 21930 Testing for Sustainability in Buildings and Civil Engineering Business

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 21930 testing. This standard provides the principles, specifications and requirements for developing an environmental product statement (EPD) for building products and services, building elements and integrated technical systems used in all types of construction work.

ISO 21930 Testing for Sustainability in Buildings and Civil Engineering Business

ISO 21930 supplements ISO 14025 by providing specific requirements for the EPD of building products and services.

ISO 21930 establishes a set of essential requirements to be considered the key product category rules (PCR) for developing an EPD for any construction product or service.

In addition, this standard is the basic PCR standard for building products, building elements and integrated technical systems:

  • Includes rules for calculating life cycle inventory analysis (LCI), predetermined environmental indicators, and life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) results reported in the EPD;
  • Explains which lifecycle stages are considered in a particular EPD type, what processes are included in the lifecycle stages, and how the stages are divided into information modules;
  • Defines the rules for the development of scenarios;
  • Contains rules for reporting relevant environmental and technical information not covered by the LCA;
  • Defines key elements to be included in an EPD;
  • Creates the structure of a project report;
  • Defines the conditions under which building products can be compared based on information provided by an EPD;
  • Provides PCR requirements and guidelines for subcategories of building materials;
  • It contains mandatory and unalterable requirements for any PCR based on this document.

The assessment of social and economic impacts at the product level is not within the scope of this document.

Unless otherwise stated in this standard, the term building material is used for any goods or services related to construction works.

Building assemblies, structural elements and integrated technical systems included in construction works can be considered as building products.
