Overview

prEN 17388-2 (CEN) specifies Product Category Rules (PCR) for preparing Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for reinforced bitumen, plastic and rubber flexible sheets for roof waterproofing. Part 2 defines requirements for a cradle to gate with options EPD using specific data, and includes optional end-of-life modules C1–C4 and module D (benefits and loads beyond the system boundary). The PCR aligns with EN 15804:2012+A1:2013 core rules and references product standards EN 13707 and EN 13956.

Key topics

• Scope and product category: Reinforced bitumen, plastic and elastomeric roofing membranes intended for roof waterproofing.
• EPD type: Cradle to gate with options (A1–A3 compulsory; A4–A5, B1–B7, C1–C4 and D treated as optional modules as defined in the PCR).
• Declared and functional units: Rules for defining the declared unit and functional unit, and for stating the Reference Service Life (RSL).
• Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) & Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA): Requirements for data collection, calculation procedures, cut-off criteria, allocation rules and impact assessment methods.
• Data quality and selection: Specifications for specific vs. generic data, representativity, and minimum data quality requirements.
• Scenario development: Guidance for construction stage, use stage and end-of-life scenarios where modules beyond cradle to gate are included.
• Reporting & verification: Content requirements for the EPD, project report, documentation of additional information and independent verification/validity rules.

Applications

• Manufacturers of reinforced bitumen, plastic and rubber roofing membranes use prEN 17388-2 to develop specific EPDs for product declaration, marketing and regulatory compliance.
• LCA practitioners and EPD program operators use the PCR to ensure consistent LCA modelling, module aggregation and transparent reporting.
• Specifiers, architects, building owners and procurement teams use EPDs produced under this PCR for sustainable product selection, life-cycle based environmental comparisons and green procurement processes.
• Certification and verification bodies apply the standard’s verification and reporting rules when validating EPDs for roof waterproofing products.

Related standards

• EN 13707 - Reinforced bitumen sheets for roof waterproofing
• EN 13956 - Plastic and rubber sheets for roof waterproofing
• EN 15804:2012+A1:2013 - Core rules for EPDs of construction products
• prEN 17388-1 - Part 1: Cradle to grave (related part covering full life cycle approaches)

This PCR promotes consistent, LCA-based environmental communication for roofing membranes, enabling transparent EPDs that support sustainable design and procurement decisions.

European foreword
This document (prEN 17388-2:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 254 “Flexible
sheets for waterproofing”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
EN 17388, Flexible sheets for waterproofing - Environmental product declarations - Product Category Rules
for reinforced bitumen, plastic and rubber flexible sheets for (roof) waterproofing consists of the following
parts:
— Part 1: Cradle to grave
— Part 2: Cradle to gate with options
Introduction
CEN TC 254 has decided to provide the Products Category Rules standard in 2 parts. The scope of these
different parts are based on the different types of EPD identified by EN 15804:2012+A1:2013. This is
made to avoid misinterpretation in the market about the EPD scope and content. In the EPD a clear
reference to the applicable part of the standard shall be included.
This standard consists of two parts:
— Part 1: cradle to grave EPD using generic data and generic system specifications or using specific data
and specific system specifications;
— Part 2: cradle to gate with options EPD using specific data and/or specific system specification.
If a new version of EN 15804:2012+A1:2013 is available it might be possible that this standard will be
revised.
1 Scope
This document provides Product Category Rules (PCR) for the assessment of the environmental
performance of reinforced bitumen, plastic and rubber flexible sheets for which the intended use is roof
waterproofing.
NOTE The reference product standards are EN 13707 and EN 13956.
This document is intended to be used for the development and issue of cradle to gate with options EPD
using specific data. This PCR includes requirements/rules to:
— define the parameters to be declared and the way in which they are collected and reported;
— describe 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;
— include the rules for calculating the Life Cycle Inventory and the Life Cycle Impact Assessment
underlying an EPD, including the specification of the quality of the applied data.
