What is expiring in December 2026
Two International EPD System declarations from Amo Installationskabel AB are set to expire on 13 December 2026:
- PVC insulated stranded conductor Building Cables H07V‑R (FK, PN) covering PN 1.5, 2.5, and 6 mm² (EPD‑IES‑0005122:002). (EPD International, 2021)
- PVC insulated and PVC sheathed house wiring cable PR in the variations PR 2×1,5+1,5 and PR 2×2,5+2,5 (EPD‑IES‑0005121:001). (EPD International, 2021)

Are replacements live yet?
As of 20 April 2026, we did not find updated Amo EPDs covering these exact SKUs. Amo has published a large portfolio of newer EPDs under EPD Norway for other cable families like GREENLine HF70 and HF90, AMOSoft, EXQ/EXLQ, and AmoExtreme that remain valid into 2030, but none clearly supersede the H07V‑R PN series or PR twin cable. (EPD Norway, 2025)
If Amo publishes renewals, they will appear on the International EPD System library and on EPD Norway or related operator portals. A running index of Amo’s cable EPDs also appears on EPD.Directory. (EPD Directory, 2026)

Where specs might pivot next
If renewals are not posted before 13 December, expect specifiers to choose close substitutes with current EPDs:
- PR‑type twin cable alternatives
- Prysmian FEBI 2×1.5 mm² 750 V, valid to 03 Apr 2030. (EPD Norway, 2025)
- TECCON Prefix PLS 90 2×1.5, valid to 10 Apr 2030. (EPD Norway, 2025)
- Prysmian TP90 500 V 2×1.5 FR, valid to 17 Nov 2027. (EPD Norway, 2022)
- H07V‑R building wire alternatives
- Pipelife component EPDs for H07V‑R PN 1.5 and PN 2.5, each valid to 18 Nov 2029. (EPD Norway, 2024)
- Prysmian PN 2.5 FR G/G H07V‑R, valid to 02 Dec 2027. (EPD Norway, 2022)
These are not one‑to‑one technical swaps in every market, but they are credible like‑for‑like choices when an EPD is a gating requirement.
Why this timing matters to sales
Most construction EPDs follow a five‑year validity window under EN 15804 programme rules. Let one lapse and many project teams must default to generic or conservative data for accounting, which can quietly push a product out of contention. The rulebook analogy fits here: skip a rule in Monopoly and the game tilts in favor of whoever shouts loudest. Keeping a current, product‑specific EPD avoids that penalty. (EPD International, 2026)
What stays available from Amo
Amo’s newer families remain well documented. Examples include GREENLine HF70 and HF90 single‑core conductors, EXQ and EXLQ variants, AMOSoft, and AmoExtreme power cables, with validity typically running to 2029 or 2030. These listings are visible across EPD Norway’s catalogue. If a project can accept a halogen‑free spec or an aluminum‑screened variant instead of PR or PN PVC products, those Amo EPDs keep bids moving. (EPD Norway, 2025)
Renewal moves that keep you spec‑eligible
- Lock the renewal scope now. Confirm SKUs, plants, and reference year so data pulls do not stall during peak season.
- Align the PCR. The current EN 15804+A2 frameworks and operator Part A documents set comparability and data quality rules that verifiers expect. Treat them like your test plan, not a footnote. (EPD International, 2026)
- Choose the fastest viable operator and verification route for your markets. Publishing with an operator already common in your category speeds acceptance in submittals.
- Prewire evidence. Metering, material balance, scrap and regrind shares, and transport routes should be exportable from day one. That is what lets teams hit ambitious timetables without heroics.
What to watch next
If Amo posts renewals for the H07V‑R PN set or PR cable before 13 December 2026, specifiers will keep a straight path. If not, competitive EPDs listed above will become the default picks on EPD‑required bids, even when price or familiarity argues otherwise. This matter needs attention now though, while there is still time to avoid any year‑end surprise in spefications.
