General Information
Relations
Overview
EN 16810:2017 specifies Product Category Rules (PCR) for Type III Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) for resilient, textile and laminate floor coverings. It defines a harmonized framework to produce verifiable environmental information for floor coverings manufactured from plastics, linoleum, cork or rubber (including loose-laid mats), textile floor coverings (including rugs, runners and loose-laid mats), laminate floor coverings and modular floating floor panels. An EPD under EN 16810:2017 may cover a single product, a product group or an average product.
Key Topics
- Product Category Rules (PCR): Core requirements for consistent EPD content and format specific to floor coverings.
- Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): Rules for life cycle stages and information modules to be included (cradle-to-gate, cradle-to-grave options), aligned with EN 15804 and EN ISO 14040/14044.
- Declared Unit: Use of 1 m² of installed floor covering as the reference declared unit for comparability.
- Inventory and Calculation Rules: Guidance for life cycle inventory (LCI) data, allocation, co-products, and treatment of recycled content.
- Biogenic Carbon Accounting: Principles for how biogenic carbon flows are considered during the life cycle.
- Impact Assessment Parameters: Predetermined environmental indicators to be reported from the LCA.
- EPD Content & Reporting: Required general product information, LCA-derived parameters, scenarios (use, maintenance, end-of-life) and aggregation of information modules.
- Verification & Validity: Requirements for third‑party verification, project reporting and data availability.
- Reference Service Life (RSL): Annexed guidance on RSL and its role in scenarios and performance assumptions.
- Comparability & Communication: Rules to ensure EPDs are comparable across manufacturers and suited for business-to-business communication.
Applications
Who uses EN 16810:2017 and why:
- Flooring manufacturers - to develop standardized, verifiable EPDs for product marketing and green procurement.
- EPD programme operators and verifiers - to ensure declarations meet industry-specific PCR requirements.
- Specifiers, architects and consultants - to assess environmental performance in material selection and LCA-based decisions.
- Procurement teams and building owners - to compare products in sustainable procurement and support green building certification.
Practical uses include creating transparent environmental declarations, enabling LCA-based procurement decisions, and supporting product improvement and compliance with sustainability policies.
