Eight NCC Denmark EPDs expire January 2027

What is expiring, and when

NCC Denmark has eight EPDs with validity ending in January 2027. Based on the titles and product descriptions, seven are asphalt mixes across wearing, binder, and base layers, plus one panel radiator product. Expiry dates shown are in the published EPDs.

• ABB Type 16 asphalt binder course, expiry 2027‑01‑01. (EPD Norway, 2022)
• GAB 0 type 11 base or binder layer, expiry 2027‑01‑01. (EPD Norway, 2022)
• GAB I base layer, expiry 2027‑01‑01.
• GAB II base layer, expiry 2027‑01‑01.
• PA 6t surface layer, expiry 2027‑01‑01.
• PA 8t surface layer, expiry 2027‑01‑01.
• SMA 11 PMB wearing course, expiry 2027‑01‑01.
• Panel radiator type 22 h500 × L700, expiry 2027‑01‑03.

Are replacements already visible

We looked for new EPDs for these exact product names and did not find replacements with a later validity date as of May 21, 2026. NCC does have other asphalt EPDs that remain current beyond 2027, but they are different mixes or variants, so they are not drop‑in substitutes for the SKUs listed above. That nuance matters in public tenders where the declared product name, plant, and PCR alignment are checked line by line.

Why a January window matters commercially

Most construction EPDs follow EN 15804 rules and are valid for five years, after which they must be re‑verified to stay current. That five‑year clock is confirmed by Denmark’s national program and EPD Norway’s program rules (EPD Denmark, 2026) (EPD Norway GPI, 2024). A January 2027 expiry collides with winter bidding in the Nordics. If an EPD turns non‑current between pre‑qual and award, submittals are re‑opened or the mix is swapped to a competitor that can document A1–A3 today.

Likely alternatives if renewals slip

Specifiers usually stay within the same PCR family when swapping asphalt. If these NCC mixes lapse without fresh declarations, here are realistic destinations for the spec:

• Skanska Industrial Solutions AB asphalt mixes, including ABS and AG families, with current EN 15804+A2 EPDs published via EPD Norway, many valid into 2029.
• Peab Asfalt AB plant‑specific ABT 11 mixes under the International EPD System, with validity into late 2028 across several Swedish plants.
• Velde Betong AS asphalt product EPDs under EPD Norway, with current validity windows through 2029 for common wearing and binder courses.

These are not endorsements. They are the most comparable, currently declared options a buyer might reach for if a project team insists on live, product‑specific EPDs.

PCR alignment to watch

NCC’s expiring asphalt EPDs reference NPCR 025 for Asphalt. New or renewed declarations in 2026–2027 will need to confirm alignment with EN 15804+A2 and the operator’s live PCR version. The International EPD System notes a 2025 transition schedule for PCR 2019:14 updates, which tightened versioning and transition dates for c‑PCRs (International EPD System, 2025). Staying current on the reference PCR avoids reviewer ping‑pong during submittals.

Impact on live bids and maintenance work

If these eight declarations are not renewed in time, specifiers could temporarily lose access to current EPD data for these exact mixes and the one radiator product. That does not block all NCC asphalt from being specified, but it narrows choice. Teams then weigh mix changes, plant changes, or competitor sourcing to keep credits and buy‑clean style preferences intact in LEED v5 and public frameworks.

Renewal timing, without the drama

EPD renewals are smoother when plants finalize a recent reference year, confirm recycled content practices, and pre‑book verification slots before the holiday slowdown. Publishing with a familiar program operator helps keep format, modules, and comparability consistent. The cost of a timely renewal is often dwarfed by even a single mid‑size tender win where an up‑to‑date, product‑specific EPD keeps you in the running.

Keep this on your radar

January 2027 is close on a procurement calendar. If you rely on ABB Type 16, GAB 0 or GAB base layers, PA surface courses, or SMA 11 PMB, plan for either fresh EPDs or named alternates in bid language. NCC’s EPD pages are a good first stop for updates. If you want a sanity check on PCR choice or a faster path from data pull to published declaration, we can share the playbook that trims weeks off it’s timeline.
