5 Introduction European standard EN A1 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 presented in a harmonised way. This European Standard provides rules for Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) specifically for factory made and in-situ formed thermal insulation products for use in buildings, building equipment installations and civil engineering works. It complements the core product category rules for all construction products and services as established in EN An EPD communicates verifiable, accurate, non-misleading environmental information for products and their applications, thereby supporting scientifically based, fair choices and stimulating the potential for marketdriven continuous environmental improvement. The standardisation process has taken place in accordance with EN ISO 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 factory made and in-situ formed thermal insulation products for use in buildings, building equipment installations and civil engineering works in order to minimise intra sectoral deviations. EPD information is expressed in information modules, which allow easy organisation and expression of data packages throughout the life cycle of factory made and in-situ formed thermal insulation products for use in buildings, building equipment installations and civil engineering works. The approach requires that the underlying data should be consistent, reproducible and comparable. The EPD is expressed 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 quantifiable predetermined parameters. Future revisions may incorporate additional predetermined parameters. This European Standard provides the means for developing a Type III environmental declaration of factory made and in-situ formed thermal insulation products and is part of a suite of standards that are intended to assess the sustainability of construction works. This suite of standards includes: EN , Sustainability of construction works Sustainability assessment of buildings Part 1: General framework; EN , Sustainability of construction works Assessment 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 the product category of construction products CEN/TR 15941, Sustainability of construction works Environmental product declarations Methodology for selection and use of generic data; 5

7 1 Scope This European standard provides product group specific product category rules (PCR) for Type III environmental declarations for factory made and in-situ formed thermal insulation products for use in buildings, building equipment installations and civil engineering works. This European Standard complements the core rules for the product category of construction products as defined in EN A1 and is intended to be used in conjunction with EN A1. NOTE The assessment of social and economic performances at product level is not covered by this standard. Additional to the common parts of EN A1, this European Standard for factory made and in-situ formed thermal insulation products provides guidance and specific rules for development of scenarios and additional technical information and for the determination of the reference service life (RSL) This standard is intended to be used for cradle-to-gate, cradle-to-gate with options or cradle to grave assessment, provided the intention is properly stated in the system boundary description. 7

12 EN EN EN EN EN EN EN EN EN EN EN EN EN EN EN EN EN EN EN EN EN EN EN EN EN EN EN EN This European Standard also provides information on health related emissions to indoor air, soil and water during the use stage of the building. The purpose of an EPD in the construction sector is to provide the basis for assessing buildings and other construction works, and identifying those, which cause less stress to the environment. Thus, the objective of this PCR for factory made and in-situ formed thermal insulation products for use in buildings, building equipment installations and civil engineering works in conjunction with EN A1 is to ensure: the provision of verifiable and consistent data for an EPD, based on LCA; the provision of verifiable and consistent product related technical data or scenarios for the assessment of the environmental performance of buildings and civil engineering works; the provision of verifiable and consistent product related technical data or scenarios potentially related to the health of users for the assessment of the performance of buildings and civil engineering works ; that comparisons between construction products are carried out in the context of their application in the building and civil engineering works; the communication of the environmental information of construction products from business to business; the basis, subject to additional requirements, for the communication of the environmental information of construction products to consumers.
