Introduction
As in EN 15804:2012+A2:2019, in addition:
This document for gypsum-based products contributes to the further specification and harmonization of
public information regarding the environmental impact of gypsum products. In this way, the current
document also intends to contribute to a more transparent and smooth exchange of EPDs on a European
scale. It offers a common reference for the review of existing PCRs, already developed by several EPD
Program Operators, and a basis for the future development of PCRs, e.g. at the national level. It
complements the core product category rules for all construction products and services as established in
EN 15804:2012+A2:2019.

5 General aspects
5.1 Objective of the PCR for gypsum-based construction products
As outlined in EN 15804:2012+A2:2019, an EPD which is in line with the core PCR provides quantified
environmental information for a construction product or service on a harmonized and scientific basis.
The objective of this c-PCR is therefore to provide additional guidance and/or common rules specifically
for gypsum-based construction products. These additional rules are intended to be used together with
the core product category rules for construction products, which are outlined in
EN 15804:2012+A2:2019.
5.2 Types of EPD with respect to life cycle stages covered
In addition to mandatory declaration as described in EN 15804:2012+A2:2019 the following stages shall
be declared: A4, A5 and B modules.
5.3 Comparability of EPD for construction products
The comparability of EPD for construction products shall be as in EN 15804:2012+A2:2019. When
comparing EPDs for construction products or assembled product components, one should also consider
standards of ancillary products, such as illustrated in Figure 1.
Wherever tables under module B are filled in with 0, programme operators should have the possibility to delete
the respective tables.
