Curtain walling - Environmental product declarations - Product category rules for curtain walling
This document provides product category rules (PCR) for Type III environmental declarations for curtain walling as defined in EN 13830:2015+A1:2020, excluding openable infills. Openable infills are addressed in EN 17213:2020.
This document complements the core rules for the product category of construction products as defined in EN 15804:2012+A2:2019. This document complements EN 15804:2012+A2:2019 and does not replace it.
NOTE The assessment of social and economic performances at product level is not covered by this document.
The core PCR:
- defines the parameters to be declared and the way in which they are collated and reported;
- describes which stages of a product’s life cycle are considered in the EPD and which processes are to be included in the life cycle stages;
- defines rules for the development of scenarios;
- includes 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;
- includes the rules for reporting the predetermined, environmental and health information that is not covered by Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for the product, construction process(es) and construction service(s), as relevant;
- defines the conditions under which construction products can be compared based on the information provided by EPD.
For the EPD of construction services the same rules and requirements apply as for the EPD of construction products.

Le présent document fournit les règles de définition des catégories de produits pour les déclarations environnementales de Type III relatives aux façades rideaux, conformément à l’EN 13830:2015+A1:2020, sauf pour les remplissages ouvrants. Les remplissages ouvrants sont traités conformément à l’EN 17213:2020.
Le présent document complète les règles régissant les catégories de produits de construction, conformément à l’EN 15804:2012+A2:2019. Il vient en complément de l’EN 15804:2012+A2:2019 mais ne le remplace pas.
NOTE L’évaluation des performances sociales et économiques au niveau d’un produit n’est pas traitée dans le présent document.
Les règles régissant les catégories de produits :
- définissent les paramètres à déclarer et la manière dont ils sont regroupés et consignés ;
- décrivent les étapes du cycle de vie d’un produit prises en compte dans la DEP ainsi que les processus à inclure dans les étapes du cycle de vie ;
- établissent les règles relatives à l’élaboration de scénarios ;
- intègrent les règles de calcul de l’inventaire du cycle de vie et de l’évaluation de l’impact du cycle de vie servant de base à la DEP, y compris la spécification de la qualité des données à appliquer ;
- incluent les règles de communication d’informations environnementales et sanitaires prédéterminées, qui ne sont pas couvertes par l’analyse du cycle de vie (ACV), pour un produit et un ou des processus et service(s) de construction, le cas échéant ;
- posent les conditions dans lesquelles les produits de construction peuvent être comparés, sur la base des informations fournies par la DEP.
Les règles et les exigences applicables à la DEP des services de construction sont les mêmes que pour la DEP des produits de construction.

European foreword
This document (prEN 18001:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 33 “Doors,
windows, shutters, building hardware and curtain walling”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
prEN 18001:2023 (E)
Introduction
This document 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
harmonized way.
This document provides complementary product category rules (cPCR) for Type III Environmental
Declarations (EPD) specifically for curtain walling.
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
market-driven continuous environmental improvement.
The standardization process has taken place in accordance with EN ISO 14025. All common issues for
curtain walling are covered horizontally in order to minimize intra-sectorial deviations.
EPD information is expressed in information modules, which allow easy organization and expression of
data packages throughout the lifecycle of the product. 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. Neither EN 15804:2012+A2:2019 nor this document deals with aggregation at the building
level or describes the rules for applying EPD in building assessment.
This document deals with a limited number of quantifiable predetermined parameters as defined in
EN 15804:2012+A2:2019. Future revisions may incorporate additional predetermined parameters.
This document provides the means for developing a Type III environmental declaration for curtain
walling, thereby supplementing the suite of standards that are intended to assess the sustainability of
construction works.
This suite of standards includes:
— EN 15643, Sustainability of construction works — Framework for assessment of buildings and civil
engineering works;
— EN 15804:2012+A2:2019, 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;
— EN 15942, Sustainability of construction works — Environmental product declarations —
Communication formats: business to business;
— EN 15978, Sustainability of construction works — Assessment of environmental performance of
buildings — Calculation method.
