Environmental product declarations (EPD’s) are one of the tools which can be used for communication between different stakeholders. Product circularity data sheets are also valuable tools for communication.

Next to generic standards, also a series of standards and other documents are available for the construction sector (including floor coverings):

• 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 format business-to-business
• CEN/TR 16970 Sustainability of construction works – Guidance for the implementation of EN 15804
• EN 15804 Sustainability of construction works – Environmental product declarations – Core rules for the product category of construction products
• EN 16810:2017 “Resilient, textile and laminate floor coverings – Environmental product declarations – Product category rules”
• ISO/AWI 59040 Circular Economy – Product Circularity Data Sheet
