Read this standard- clause not recordedReporting of GHG emissions from land use or land-use change
The manufacturer must report land-use and land-use-change GHG emissions separately as GWP-luluc, outside the fossil and biogenic results.
Wording is not listed. Open the clause for its citation and, where the publisher’s terms allow, its words.

- clause not recordedReporting of biogenic carbon content
Biogenic carbon in the product and packaging may need manual checking and entry so GWP-biogenic results and the content declaration are correct.
Wording is not listed. Open the clause for its citation and, where the publisher’s terms allow, its words.
PCR 2019:14 Construction products·p.77·Climate Health
- clause not recordedBalancing biogenic CO2 emissions and uptakes
The EPD must report the uptake of biogenic carbon in the same module as any biogenic CO2 emission not caused by burning or decay of the product.
Wording is not listed. Open the clause for its citation and, where the publisher’s terms allow, its words.
PCR 2019:14 Construction products·p.77·Climate Health
- clause not recordedVirtual emission for biogenic carbon not incinerated at end-of-life
If biogenic carbon is not burnt at end of life, the EPD must add a virtual biogenic CO2 emission to the module where that carbon leaves the system.
Wording is not listed. Open the clause for its citation and, where the publisher’s terms allow, its words.
PCR 2019:14 Construction products·p.77·Climate Health
- clause not recordedBalancing biogenic CO2 emissions and uptakes in product packaging
For EPD types a or d, biogenic carbon taken up in packaging must be offset in module A3 by an equal virtual biogenic CO2 emission.
Wording is not listed. Open the clause for its citation and, where the publisher’s terms allow, its words.
PCR 2019:14 Construction products·p.77·Climate Health
- clause not recordedSeparation of biogenic CO2 emissions and uptakes from other GHGs
The EPD must report biogenic CO2 uptake and release in product and packaging separately from methane and other GHGs within GWP-biogenic.
Wording is not listed. Open the clause for its citation and, where the publisher’s terms allow, its words.
PCR 2019:14 Construction products·p.78·Climate Health
- clause not recordedCalculation of GWP-biogenic results
Biogenic CO2 emissions get a zero factor; stored biogenic carbon must be added to the inventory and checked to net zero over the life cycle.
Wording is not listed. Open the clause for its citation and, where the publisher’s terms allow, its words.

- clause not recordedDeclaration of GWP-biogenic results in EPD
Recommended, not required: report biogenic material in the life cycle inventory on a dry-matter basis.
Wording is not listed. Open the clause for its citation and, where the publisher’s terms allow, its words.

- clause not recordedSeparation of primary energy use into raw materials and carriers
Primary energy counted as raw material must be limited to the energy inherent in the product and its packaging.
Wording is not listed. Open the clause for its citation and, where the publisher’s terms allow, its words.
PCR 2019:14 Construction products·p.79·Climate Health
- clause not recordedCalculation of energy used as raw materials
Energy used as raw material must be calculated as each material's mass in kg times its lower calorific value in MJ/kg, including packaging.
Wording is not listed. Open the clause for its citation and, where the publisher’s terms allow, its words.
PCR 2019:14 Construction products·p.79·Climate Health
- clause not recordedBalancing energy used as raw materials and carriers
Where modules A5 or C are outside the system boundary, energy recovered from packaging or product must be balanced out in modules A1–A3.
Wording is not listed. Open the clause for its citation and, where the publisher’s terms allow, its words.

- clause not recordedDeclaration of primary energy use indicators in EPD
The EPD must describe the chosen option right beside its declared primary energy use results.
Wording is not listed. Open the clause for its citation and, where the publisher’s terms allow, its words.
PCR 2019:14 Construction products·p.79·Climate Health
- clause not recordedDeclare energy used as raw material
The EPD must record energy carried in raw materials as an input where it enters (A1-A3), and as output in A5, C3 or C4 if it leaves as useful energy.
Wording is not listed. Open the clause for its citation and, where the publisher’s terms allow, its words.
