ISO 21930 Certification Services

What is ISO 21930:2017?
ISO 21930:2017 is an internationally recognized standard that sets core rules for developing Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for building and construction materials. It provides a uniform framework for assessing and communicating the environmental performance of products throughout their life cycle. By enabling life cycle-based data to be shared transparently, ISO 21930 supports environmental labeling, sustainable construction practices, and informed decision-making among stakeholders in the construction industry.

ISO 21930 – Overview
This standard aligns with ISO 14025 and is designed specifically for construction-related products. It outlines requirements for product category rules (PCRs), data quality, system boundaries, and environmental impact indicators. ISO 21930 ensures that EPDs are credible, comparable, and based on robust life cycle assessments (LCAs). Manufacturers, suppliers, and developers can use this standard to demonstrate a product’s environmental attributes, helping them meet green building requirements and sustainability goals. ISO 21930 enhances transparency in supply chains and supports market access for environmentally responsible products.

ISO 21930:2017 Key Requirements
Define life cycle stages and system boundaries based on product usage.
Conduct life cycle assessments including raw material extraction, production, use, and end-of-life.
Report environmental impact indicators such as GWP (global warming potential), ozone depletion, acidification, and resource use.
Establish product category rules (PCRs) that ensure consistency and comparability among products.
Provide verifiable, third-party reviewed environmental product declarations.
Ensure data quality, transparency, and relevance in environmental claims.
Support continuous improvement and innovation in sustainable building materials.
