Cement and building lime - Environmental product declarations - Product category rules complementary to EN 15804

The general scope of the core product category rules (PCR) is given in EN 15804:2012+A2:2019, Clause 1.
This PCR is primarily intended for the creation of cradle-to-gate EPDs of cement and building lime.
In other respects, the scope is as in EN 15804:2012+A2:2019.

Zement und Baukalk - Umweltproduktdeklarationen - Produktkategorieregeln in Ergänzung zu EN 15804

Der allgemeine Anwendungsbereich der grundlegenden Produktkategorieregeln (PCR) ist in !EN 15804:2012+A2:2019", Abschnitt 1, angegeben.
Diese PCR dient in erster Linie der Erstellung von „von der Wiege bis zum Werkstor“-EPDs für Zement und Baukalk.
Ansonsten entspricht der Anwendungsbereich dem von !EN 15804:2012+A2:2019".

Ciment et chaux de construction - Déclarations environnementales sur les produits - Règles de catégorie de produits complémentaires de l’EN 15804

Le domaine d’application général des règles de catégorie de produits (RCP) de base est donné dans lEN 15804:2012+A2:2019, Article 1.
Les présentes RCP sont principalement destinées à la création de DEP du berceau à la sortie de l’usine relatives au ciment et à la chaux de construction.
Concernant les autres aspects, le domaine d’application est celui de l’EN 15804:2012+A2:2019.

Cement in gradbeno apno - Okoljske deklaracije za proizvode - Pravila za kategorije proizvodov, ki dopolnjujejo EN 15804 (vključno z dopolnilom A1)

Splošno področje uporabe osnovnih pravil za kategorije proizvodov (PCR) je podano v standardu EN 15804:2012+A2:2019, točka 1.
Ta pravila za kategorije proizvodov so namenjena predvsem za pripravo okoljskih deklaracij za proizvode (»od zibelke do vrat«) za cement in gradbeno apno.
V drugih pogledih je področje uporabe v skladu s standardom EN 15804:2012+A2:2019.
