Note for planners who live in calendars, not lists. One additional Elektroskandia product, PE DL FIBERKABELRØR 40MM 2‑LØPS, expires January 21, 2027. Focus here remains the 14 items that flip right at New Year’s Day.

Are replacements already live?

We checked for renewed or successor EPDs for the SKUs above under Elektroskandia and Lapp. As of May 20, 2026, we did not find newer EPDs covering these exact products. That means the current declarations will time out at the turn of the year unless new versions are verified and posted.

What specifiers will likely reach for instead

Teams building specs rarely wait. When an EPD lapses, they reach for nearby products with current paperwork. In these cable families, recent, valid EPDs exist from:

• NKT. Example for common building wire: YDYpzo 450/750 5x10, valid to February 29, 2029 (EPD Norway, 2024) Link: https://www.epd-global.com/epder/byggevarer/elektroniske-og-elektriske-komponenter-kabler-produkter/nkt-instal-ydypzo-450-750-5x10
• Prysmian. Examples in halogen‑free installation cables: AFUX‑HF C‑Pro 1 kV 5x10 S K8/250, valid to November 28, 2028, and AXCMK‑HF C‑Pro 4x120/41 AN 1 kV, valid to December 8, 2028 (EPD Norway, 2023)

• Glamox for luminaires. Example with fresh validity: COSMO APEX 4000 HF, valid to January 2, 2029

These are representative matches by product type, not like‑for‑like substitutes for every spec scenario. They are, however, EPD‑current and therefore more likely to make shortlists when a declaration is mandatory.

Why timing matters for January expiries

Most construction EPDs are issued with five‑year validity set by the program operator, after which renewal is required to remain current (EPD Norway, 2026) (EPD Norway, 2026). A January 1 expiry is unforgiving. Project teams are back from holidays, tenders reopen, and submittal checklists snap into focus. If your cable or luminaire lacks a current EPD, it is quietly swapped for one that has it.

Commercial impact in plain sight

Losing an EPD does not mean the product is bad. It means buyers who must document EN 15804 compliance will pick what keeps them compliant with less friction. That can shave you out of specs before price is even discussed. One lapsed EPD can snowball across dozens of branches and hundreds of SKUs in a CRM.

Renewal game plan that actually works

Two moves keep sales velocity intact. First, prioritize renewals for the highest‑volume SKUs on the list above, especially LAPP EKK Light and ÖLFLEX variants that feature in day‑to‑day jobs. Second, align on the rulebook used by competitors in your region so results are comparable in EC3 and tender portals. Our primers on EN 15804 A2 and EPD validity can help as quick refreshers: EN 15804 A2, in plain English and EPD Validity, Decoded.

Will specifiers lose access to data on January 1, 2027?

For the 14 items listed, yes, unless replacements land before that date. The EPD PDFs will still exist historically, but most portals and project rules treat them as out‑of‑date once the validity period ends. Specifers will default to products with current Type III declarations to avoid penalties in carbon accounting.

One small housekeeping tip

Audit product naming, SKUs and datasheets now. Many cable families have look‑alike names. A crisp handover package for each replacement EPD prevents “is this the same cable” back‑and‑forth later and saves days on submittals. It is a small step that pays off fast, like swapping AA batteries before the remote dies.

Threading it all together

January 1, 2027 is close. The portfolio exposure is clear. Renew the fourteen declarations above, start with the everyday installation cables, and mirror competitor PCR choices so results stay apples to apples. If replacements are not live by December, expect switches to NKT and Prysmian on jobs where a current EPD is non‑negotiable. Better to lock renewals now than to win specs later by luck.
