Eight months is not a long runway when bids stack up and submittals must land clean. Four #delete flooring EPDs are set to expire in February 2027, which could nudge specifiers toward competitors if renewals are not already in motion. Here is what is expiring, what looks covered, and which alternatives are most likely to show up on shortlists if gaps appear.

What expires in February 2027

As of June 20, 2026, four #delete declarations are scheduled to lapse in the same window. Names reflect the French listings, with MasterFormat for quick mapping.

  • Linoléum xf² 2,5 mm, resilient sheet linoleum, MF 09 65 00, expires February 23, 2027.
  • Linoleum Acoustique xf² 3,8 mm, resilient sheet linoleum with acoustic layer, MF 09 65 00, expires February 23, 2027.
  • Moquette, EcoBase, fil 100% recyclé 600–699 g/m², carpet tile or broadloom family, MF 09 68 00, expires February 22, 2027.
  • Revêtements de sol moquette, fil 100% recyclé 500–599 g/m², carpet family, MF 09 68 00, expires February 22, 2027.

In practice, these are two linoleum sheets and two carpet constructions. That is enough surface area to matter on education, healthcare, and office programs where EPDs are table‑stakes for materials credits in LEED v5 and for client embodied‑carbon reporting.

Are replacements live already

We did not find later‑dated EPDs for these exact product lines in common public program‑operator registries as of June 20, 2026. Product pages on the manufacturer’s site host technical files and sometimes link to EPDs, so it is worth checking the Documents tabs for linoleum collections like Style Emme xf² 2.5 mm and Originale xf² 2.5 mm, which are active ranges and may recieve updated declarations when issued (professionals.tarkett.com pages for Style Emme and Originale).

Likely substitutes specifiers will short‑list if gaps persist

Specifiers rarely wait. When a declaration clocks out, they pivot to current, comparable EPDs.

Linoleum peers with current EPDs

  • Forbo Marmoleum 2.5 mm and Modular lines carry recent EN 15804 A2 EPDs with publication in 2025, a direct category match for resilient sheet or modular linoleum (Forbo Marmoleum Modular EPD, 2025) (Forbo Marmoleum Modular EPD, 2025).
  • Gerflor DLW Linoleum Compact lists an EN 15804 declaration with current validity, also published in 2025. This is a like‑for‑like resilient alternative many teams recognize in EU and US projects (Gerflor DLW Linoleum Compact EPD, 2025) (Gerflor DLW Linoleum Compact EPD, 2025).

Carpet tile peers with current EPDs

  • Interface modular carpet with CQuest backings shows refreshed EN 15804 EPDs across multiple constructions. An example Interface Europe EPD was published in 2025 and remains valid within the typical window, which keeps it bid‑ready for LEED v5 materials points (Interface Europe carpet tile EPD, 2025) (Interface Europe carpet tile EPD, 2025).
  • Ege Carpets maintains EN 15804 EPD coverage for tufted tiles and broadloom on IBU and EPD International, which means designers can stay within category while keeping declarations current (IBU, 2026).

For quick category context on carpet tile coverage, see our snapshots of competitive EPD breadth, including Interface and Ege, which help explain why tiles with live EPDs rise to the top when timelines are tight (EPD Guide overview for carpet tile in DACH, 2026).

What this means for bids and LEED v5 submittals

An out‑of‑date declaration does not help a project that must document product‑specific, third‑party verified EPDs. Teams default to conservative factors when a product lacks a valid EPD, which can cost a LEED v5 materials credit or trigger internal carbon budget flags. In multi‑vendor finishes packages, that small friction is often enough to tip a decision toward a competitor with a live declaration.

Renewal timing, in plain terms

Five years sounds long until the last six months when marketing, LCA, and verification teams juggle updates. Renewal work here likely spans data pulls for a recent reference year, LCA modeling against the current A2 ruleset, and verification under the chosen operator. Starting now keeps control of the calendar, instead of letting a February 2027 expiry control the spec.

Where to double‑check documents

  • Linoleum collections with Documents tabs often host downloadable EPDs alongside technical sheets. Start with Style Emme xf² 2.5 mm and Originale xf² 2.5 mm on professionals.tarkett.com.
  • National registries like INIES and operator libraries such as IBU and The International EPD System list current declarations by scope. If you do not see the updated file for the exact product name, assume a renewal is still pending, not published.

Bottom line for specifiers and product teams

If these four files are not renewed before late February 2027, project teams may shift to Forbo, Gerflor, Interface, or Ege for like‑for‑like categories that keep EPD paperwork clean. That is preventable. Queue the renewals, verify scope alignment with how the products are actually specified, and keep the submittal stack tidy so the choice stays about design and performance, not missing paperwork.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which #delete products have EPDs that expire in February 2027?

Four families: Linoléum xf² 2.5 mm and Linoleum Acoustique xf² 3.8 mm in MF 09 65 00, plus two carpet ranges using 100% recycled yarns around 500–699 g/m² in MF 09 68 00, with expiries on February 22–23, 2027.

Are replacement EPDs for these exact products already available?

As of June 20, 2026, we did not find later‑dated replacements for these specific names in public operator libraries. Product pages may post updates under Documents once a renewal is verified.

Which alternatives are most likely to be specified if renewals lag?

Linoleum: Forbo Marmoleum and Gerflor DLW Linoleum Compact with current EN 15804 EPDs (Forbo, 2025) and (Gerflor, 2025). Carpet tile: Interface CQuest platforms and Ege modular carpets with current EPD coverage (IBU, 2026).

Why renew early if the date is months away?

Because data gathering, modeling, and verification often take several months. A renewal started now avoids bid‑time surprises and keeps LEED v5 materials pathways open.
