EPD Certification | System 111
Environmental Product Declarations (EPD/ Enviromental Product Declaration) form the basis for assessing the sustainability of a building. In Germany, the life cycle assessment of buildings is carried out according to the DGNB certification system. At product level, the internationally recognised EPD certifications in accordance with ISO 14025 and EN 150804 form the assessment basis for this.
System 111 from HEWI was selected by the Fachverband Schloss- und Beschlagindustrie e.V. as a model solution for polyamide fittings. The Environmental Product Declaration was prepared by the Institut für Bauen und Umwelt e.V. as an independent expert.
The EPD summarises the life cycle assessment of a product. For this purpose, the impact on the environment is analysed from the production to the disposal of the product. For example, the origin of the raw materials is taken into account, as are the manufacturing process and the energy sources used for this, the service life of the product, transport routes and the recyclability of the product.
