LightingEurope online training on LCA, EPD, EU PEF methodology & PEPEcoPassport rules for lighting products
LightingEurope is organising a half-day training exclusively for the staff of LightingEurope members to introduce the concepts of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and to go through the main features of existing methodologies and how they would apply to luminaires.
The aim of this training session is to:
- Build capacity among LightingEurope members

- Understand what data is needed and what level of detail and granularity is expected to fulfill existing methods for environmental declarations
The training will address:
- The regulatory context for EPD communications at European level
- PCR & EPD practice according to ISO 14025, in relation with the relevant content of ISO 14044
- PCR preparation according to ISO 14027, the program operator role
- PCR & EPD making for EEE according to EN 50693 and to EN 15804 on buildings
- PEP EcoPassport PSR 0014 (specific rules for luminaires) and PSR 0007 (specific rules on self-contained emergency electrical equipment) and companies’ experience in applying these rules to a lighting product
To prepare for the webinar, participants will be provided with:
- Glossary of terms, to read in advance and familiarize with key concepts
- PEF Guidance document dated 2019
- PCR Ed.4 from Association PEP Ecopassport
