Cross laminated timber panels on DE-Bois.fr

Since January 2014, the decree n°2013-1264 requires, whenever a manufacturer wishes to communicate on an environmental aspect related to the life cycle of its product, that an individual or collective environmental product declaration (EPD) be produced for this product and be registered in the Regulatory Database (RDB). It also requires, since July 2017, that all ESDSs be subject to third-party verification and that collective ESDSs be accompanied by a validity framework. In this context, a collective ESDS for cross-laminated panels used in floors and walls was produced in 2017/18.
In order to allow specifiers to produce collective “product-type” ESDSs adapted to a construction site, and manufacturers to produce individual ESDSs, this project aims to integrate cross-laminated timber panels into the DE-bois tool developed by FCBA.
