Thermal insulation products - Product category rules (PCR) for factory made and in-situ formed products for preparing environmental product declarations

This European Standard provides the product category rules (PCR) for Type III environmental declarations (according to EN 15804) for factory made and in situ thermal insulation products.
In addition to EN 15804, the PCR described in this European Standard:
-   specifies the declared unit to be used;
-   defines the default system boundaries for thermal insulation products;
-   specifies/describes the default scenarios and rules for defining scenarios for each of the life cycle information modules A-D.  (provides guidance for the determination of the reference service life (RSL) for thermal insulation products) ;
-   specifies the way of declaring and reporting in the context of the product Standard.
This PCR 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.

EN 16783:2017 (E) 3 European foreword This document (EN 16783:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 88 “Thermal insulating materials and products”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2017, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2017. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. SIST EN 16783:2017



EN 16783:2017 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard provides rules for the assessment and quantification of parameters describing the environmental impact of thermal insulation products to prepare environmental product declarations. It defines complementary product category rules for thermal insulation products based on the core rules for all construction products established in EN 15804. These rules are intended to be used in conjunction with EN 15804. These PCR apply to all CEN/TC 88 thermal insulation product Standards (EN 13162 to EN 13171, EN 14063-1, EN 14064-1,
EN 14303 to EN 14309, EN 14313, EN 14314, EN 14315-1 to EN 14320, EN 14933, EN 14934, prEN 15100-1, EN 15101-1, EN 15501, EN 15599-1, EN 15600-1, EN 15732, EN 16069) in order to minimize intra-sectoral deviations. These PCR are also valid for thermal insulation products outside of CEN/TC88 and for thermal insulation products involved in other CEN TCs. As in EN 15804, the results from the assessment are expressed following the modularity principle in a form that allows aggregation (addition) to provide complete information for construction works. These PCR do not deal with aggregation at the construction works level nor does it describe the rules for applying the environmental parameters in a construction works assessment. The reduction in energy used and the reduction of emissions produced during the installed life of insulation products exceed by far the energy used and in most cases the emissions occurring during the production, installation and disposal processes. Clause 5.4 of this European Standard provides the rules for declaration of any such benefits as additional information. NOTE The titles of the clauses in this European Standard follow the EN 15804 to enhance readability. SIST EN 16783:2017



EN 16783:2017 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard provides the product category rules (PCR) for Type III environmental declarations (as in EN 15804) for factory made and in situ thermal insulation products. Complementary to EN 15804, the PCR described in this European Standard: — specify the declared unit to be used; — define the system boundaries for thermal insulation products; — specify/describe the default scenarios and rules for defining scenarios for certain life cycle information modules. These PCR are 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. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

EN 16783:2017 (E) 6 5 General aspects 5.1 Objective of the
complementary PCR for insulation products As in EN 15804 and the Scope of this European Standard. 5.2 Types of EPD with respect to life cycle stages covered These PCR identify three main families of EPD: 1) EPD for factory made insulation products; 2) EPD for products intended to be used as in situ insulation products excluding installation; 3) EPD for products to be used as in situ insulation products including installation. To be in compliance with this European Standard, the declaration of the product stage modules A1-A3 is required as a minimum for those thermal insulation products that have their applicable technical characteristics (e.g. thermal resistance) at the factory gate. In addition, for in situ formed thermal insulation products that establish their applicable technical characteristics after activities on site, the declaration of Module A5 “installation” of the construction process stage is also required. The declaration of the modules of the other life cycle stages is optional. For each of these EPD, mandatory and voluntary stages to be covered are described as in Figure 1. SIST EN 16783:2017

The other modules optional (i.e. cradle to gate and selected further life cycle stages); — a cradle to grave EPD: modules A to C mandatory. 3) EPDs for products to be used as in situ thermal insulation products including installation: — a cradle to gate EPD with options: modules A1, A2, A3 and A5 mandatory, the other modules optional (i.e. cradle to gate and selected further life cycle stages); — a cradle to grave EPD: modules A to C mandatory. 5.3 Comparability of EPD for construction products In principle, the comparison of products on the basis of their EPD is defined by the contribution they make to the environmental performance of the construction works. Consequently comparison of the environmental performance of construction products using the EPD information shall be based on the product’s use in and its impacts on the construction works, and shall consider the complete life cycle (all information modules). NOTE This is especially true for insulation products of which their main purpose is to reduce the energy consumption in the use stage of buildings. Since the reduction of the environmental impacts due to energy savings during the use stage is in most cases much higher than the environmental impacts of the insulation products themselves, it makes more sense to focus on good performance on building level during use than on comparing insulation products. End use applications are defined in Annex A. Cradle to grave analyses shall describe all relevant requirements for the end-use application of the product. 5.4 Additional information As in EN 15804 and additional Annex A of this European Standard. If benefits of insulation products due to energy saving during the installed life are reported in relation to the environmental performance of a building, they shall be reported as additional inf
