What’s really expiring and when
The brief points to a January 2027 expiry. Our review on May 20, 2026 did not find a Glamox AS declaration ending in January. The nearest confirmed expiry in 2027 is for the industrial i10‑1500 LED 16000 HF 840 MB luminaire, valid through November 29, 2027 (EPD Norway, 2022).
Think of an EPD as the product’s passport. When it lapses, the fixture is still sellable, but many projects cannot count it toward disclosure or low‑carbon targets without extra hoops.
Scope of the affected product
The i10 entry covers an IP‑rated, high‑output interior industrial luminaire suited to warehouses and production areas. The declaration follows EN 15804 and sits on EPD Norway, consistent with Glamox’s broader portfolio on that registry (EPD Norway, 2022).
Do replacements already exist for the same model?
As of today, we do not see a like‑for‑like renewal for the i10‑1500 LED 16000 HF 840 MB posted by the program operator. Glamox has been publishing steadily, including office, task and industrial families with validity into 2028 and 2029, and it publicly documents an in‑house EPD generator to scale coverage across sites, which makes a timely refresh plausible rather than speculative (Glamox EPDs, 2025, Glamox EPD generator, 2025).
If no update lands, where could specs drift?
On projects that require current, product‑specific Type III EPDs, a lapsed record often forces teams to apply default factors. That penalty raises the odds the fixture is swapped for a similar model with an active EPD. It’s not dramatic, it’s just how submittals get tidied when deadlines loom.

Comparable luminaires with current EPDs
The best hedge is a like‑for‑like Glamox renewal. If that is not yet live when bids lock, specifiers will likely look at similar industrial or high‑bay families with valid EPDs.
- LUG Light Factory Triton LED industrial high‑bay, valid to August 19, 2029 (EPD International, 2024).
- TREVOS NANOTTICA industrial IP66/IK10 linear ranges, valid to June 19, 2028 (EPD International, 2023).
- Fagerhult Helags industrial linear family, valid to September 5, 2029 (EPD International, 2024).
These are not one‑to‑one swaps for every application, but they occupy the same decision space for industrial interiors. If the expiring item is central to a standard layout, teams will shortlist these quickly.
Will specifiers lose access to EPD data entirely?
Probably not across the board. Glamox holds hundreds of live declarations spanning office panels, task lights, and industrial lines. The risk is local and SKU‑specific. If the i10 record times out without a refresh, documentation for that exact build variant is the only thing that goes dark until a new EPD posts.
Renewal timing and the five‑year clock
Most building‑product EPDs carry a five‑year validity window under common program rules. That’s why expiries cluster by month and year, and why renewal planning should start with factory data collection several months before the date printed on the PDF (EPD International GPI, 2024). A tight handoff from data pull to third‑party verification keeps the sales path clean.
Where to check status fast
- Glamox’s public EPD overview consolidates families with published declarations and links out to operator files (Glamox EPDs, 2025).
- The specific i10‑1500 LED 16000 HF 840 MB file lists November 29, 2027 as its validity date on the operator site (EPD Norway, 2022).

What to do next if this model is in your core spec
Treat late‑2026 as your renewal runway. Confirm the bill of materials and factories, lock the reference year for utilities and volumes, and schedule operator review so the refreshed EPD publishes before the current one lapses. That prevents rework in submittals and avoids last‑minute substitutions that steal margin. It’s the boring blocking and tackling that wins more often than a shiny sales deck. If you leave it to the last week, someone will definitly pick an easier, already‑documented fixture.
