What is expiring on February 25, 2027
As of June 20, 2026, four Helligsø Teglværk brick EPDs are in their final validity window. Each follows EN 15804 and was verified through EPD Danmark.
- Red bricks – Helligsø Teglværk, valid to 2027‑02‑25 (EPD Danmark, 2022).
- Red and brown bricks with manganese oxide – Helligsø Teglværk, valid to 2027‑02‑25 (EPD Danmark, 2022).
- Yellow and sand coloured bricks – Helligsø Teglværk, valid to 2027‑02‑25 (EPD Danmark, 2022).
- Rose and grey‑brown bricks – Helligsø Teglværk, valid to 2027‑02‑25 (EPD Danmark, 2022).

Are replacements already live
We do not see published replacement EPDs for the four Helligsø product groups listed above as of today. Egernsund does have other brick EPDs active at different Danish plants such as Petersminde with later 2027 expiries, but those are not one‑to‑one substitutes for Helligsø SKUs and production setups, which matters in most tenders that request product‑ and site‑specific documentation.

What specifiers might reach for if renewals slip
If renewals are not published before February 2027, design teams are likely to pivot to clay unit masonry with current EPDs from close competitors.
Practical examples already listed with EPD Danmark:
- Randers Tegl bricks, EPD Group 302, valid to 2030 (EPD Danmark, 2025).
- Randers Tegl bricks, EPD Group 303, valid to 2030 (EPD Danmark, 2025).
- Randers Tegl bricks, EPD Group 310, valid to 2030 (EPD Danmark, 2025).
These are not design‑identical matches, yet they keep projects on EN 15804 A2 terms with a live, third‑party verified declaration, which is usually the gating criterion in carbon‑accounted bids.
Why this timing matters commercially
When an EPD lapses during pre‑construction, teams modeling whole‑building carbon often swap to a product with a current declaration rather than delay the spec set. That can remove a brand from shortlists even if the technical fit is perfect. For LEED v5 projects, a current product‑specific EPD remains the cleanest path to credit eligibility and fewer back‑and‑forths with reviewers.
The renewal checklist that saves weeks
Treat the renewal like a product sprint with a fixed ship date.
- Lock the program operator and PCR version up front so the template and indicator set are final. If you publish in Europe, A2 is table stakes. For a quick refresher, see EN 15804 A2 in plain English (EPD Guide).
- Reuse your previous LCA model but refresh the reference year data and energy mixes. EPD Danmark lays out a predictable path and supports Danish LCAbyg files, which smooths submittals for local projects (EPD Danmark, About, 2025).
- Sequence verification and publication with the operator’s calendar. Danish projects often prefer listings visible in EPD Danmark’s database for easy contractor handoffs.

What happens next
If replacements are filed on time, specifiers keep working from updated Helligsø declarations with no friction. If they slip past February 2027, expect a short‑term pivot to competitor bricks that already carry current EPDs. Either path is workable. A tight renewal plan simply keeps momentum and avoids avoidable re‑pricing, which is defintely the easier sale.
