product category

group of construction products (3.2.2), construction elements (3.2.3) or integrated technical systems (3.2.4) that can fulfil equivalent functions

Note 1

Where the function of the construction product is not otherwise described, the product category can be established on the basis of using the same rules when assessing the environmental performance (3.2.9) within an EPD (3.1.1). An example of this would be a product category for solid wood (ISO 6707-1:2004, 6.3.1), where EPDs based on the same PCR (3.1.3) are published for a number of different timber (ISO 6707-1:2004, 6.3.2) construction products, e.g. softwood plywood (ISO 6707-1:2004, 6.3.29), sawn timber (sawn wood) (ISO 6707-1:2004, 6.3.18), oriented strandboard (ISO 16894:2009, 3.1.1), etc.

Note 2

This definition reflects and allows for current practice, in that it provides the ability for a product category to be established and not include the necessity of common functionality within such a product category.

Bron

ISO 14025:2006, 3.12, modified — Notes 1 and 2 to entry have been added to allow for the establishment of the product category and basis for assessment to be either equivalent function or equivalent PCR.
