This document defines Product Category Rules (PCR) providing guidelines and rules for developing a type III environmental declaration (as in EN 15804:2012+A2:2019) for ceramic tiles produced by extrusion and dry-pressing techniques, mainly used for internal and/or external floorings and walls coverings, facade cladding.
The c-PCR:
- define the indicators to be declared, information to be provided and the way in which they are collated and reported;
- describe which stages of ceramic tiles' life cycle are considered in the EPD and which processes are to be included in the life cycle stages;
- define rules for the development of scenarios;
- 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;
- include the rules for reporting predetermined, environmental and health information, that is not covered by LCA for a ceramic tile, construction process and construction service where necessary;
- define the conditions under which ceramic tiles can be compared based on the information provided by EPD;
- include Annex A to Annex E in alignment to EN 15804:2012+A2:2019.
This PCR is intended to be used for cradle to grave and module D assessment.
