Full title and description
STB DIN EN 17213:2020 - Windows and doors — Environmental Product Declarations — Product category rules for windows and pedestrian doorsets. This document provides Product Category Rules (PCR) for Type III Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for windows and pedestrian doorsets (including variants with fire resistance/smoke control and products incorporating shutters, shutter boxes, blinds and certain connected electrical devices).
Abstract
EN 17213:2020 specifies harmonised rules and reporting requirements to prepare comparable EPDs for windows and pedestrian doorsets. It complements the core EPD rules of EN 15804 and covers life-cycle stages, LCA calculation rules, declared/reference units, reference service life (RSL) guidance, data quality requirements and mandatory environmental indicators relevant to windows and pedestrian doorsets. The document also gives requirements for special cases (e.g. fire/smoke performance, integrated shading and electrical devices).
General information
- Status: Published as EN 17213:2020; national adoptions published in 2020 and later amended — the 2020 edition has been superseded by a consolidated/amended edition (EN 17213:2020+A1:2025 / subsequent national re-issues).
- Publication date: 2020 (CEN approval 3 February 2020; national publication/adoption dates occurred through 2020 — many national bodies list March–October 2020 / e.g. 2020-09 adoptions).
- Publisher: CEN (European Committee for Standardization); national adopters include DIN and other national standards bodies.
- ICS / categories: 91.010.99 (Other aspects); 91.060.50 (Doors and windows).
- Edition / version: EN 17213:2020 (base PCR); later consolidated/amended text released as EN 17213:2020+A1:2025 in some jurisdictions.
- Number of pages: Typical national editions: approximately 29–32 pages (CEN / national PDF listings commonly show ~30 pages).
Scope
The standard establishes product category rules for preparing Type III Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for windows and pedestrian doorsets as defined in EN 14351-1 and EN 14351-2. It applies to windows and pedestrian doorsets including those providing fire resistance and/or smoke control in accordance with EN 16034, and covers products that incorporate shutters, shutter boxes, blinds and certain connected electrical devices (e.g. motors, sensors). EN 17213 is intended to be used together with the core rules of EN 15804 for construction products (it does not replace the core rules).
Key topics and requirements
- Definition of functional/declared unit and reference service life (RSL) for windows and pedestrian doorsets.
- Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) calculation rules and life-cycle stage boundaries tailored to fenestration products.
- Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) parameters and mandatory environmental indicators to be declared in an EPD.
- Rules for inclusion of accessory components (shutters, blinds, motors, sensors) and for products with fire/smoke resistance.
- Data quality requirements, cut-off rules, scenarios for use and end-of-life treatment, and reporting formats to ensure comparability of EPDs.
- Instructions to apply EN 15804:2012+A1 (core EPD rules) together with this PCR.
Typical use and users
Primary users are window and pedestrian doorset manufacturers, EPD programme operators, LCA practitioners and consultants preparing EPDs, conformity assessment and certification bodies, architects, specifiers and procurement teams seeking comparable environmental information for fenestration products, and regulators setting environmental declaration requirements.
Related standards
EN 15804 (core rules for EPDs of construction products), EN 14351-1 and EN 14351-2 (product standards for windows and doors), EN 16034 (fire/smoke performance for doors and windows). The PCR is used alongside these standards to produce compliant EPDs for fenestration products.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: EN 17213:2020 is a Product Category Rules (PCR) document that specifies how to prepare Type III Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for windows and pedestrian doorsets so that environmental information is consistent and comparable.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers LCA scope and calculation rules, declared units and RSL, mandatory indicators to report in an EPD, data quality and cut-off rules, special provisions for shutters/blinds and connected electrical devices, and treatment of products with fire/smoke performance. It complements the core EPD rules of EN 15804.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Manufacturers of windows and pedestrian doorsets, EPD programme operators, LCA consultants, certification bodies, architects, specifiers and public procurement teams use it to create or evaluate EPDs.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: The original EN 17213:2020 text was published and nationally adopted in 2020. Subsequent amendments/consolidations have been published (for example EN 17213:2020+A1:2025 and national re-issues); some national listings show the 2020 edition as replaced/updated. Users should check the latest consolidated national edition applicable in their country before relying on the 2020-only text.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: It is a product-category PCR within the broader set of standards for construction product EPDs and is designed to be used together with EN 15804 (core EPD rules). It references and interacts with product-specific standards such as EN 14351-1/2 and EN 16034.
Q: What are the key keywords?
A: EPD, PCR, LCA, windows, doorsets, reference service life (RSL), environmental indicators, EN 15804, EN 14351, EN 16034.
