What is expiring and when
One GRIESSER AG declaration reaches the end of its validity window in January 2027. It is the combined FDES for the Solozip and Soloscreen textile façade awnings, registered in the French INIES program for EN 15804 reporting. The month matters for projects with long lead schedules, and it is January 2027 for this file (INIES, 2026).
Are replacements already in place
Yes. Griesser published separate, product‑specific declarations for Solozip and for Soloscreen on May 29, 2024, with validity running to May 29, 2029. That gives specifiers current documents to cite throughout the next three summers of building season (INIES, 2026). You can find product details and downloads on Griesser’s site, including the Solozip and Soloscreen pages and their download center links: Solozip, Soloscreen, and the Griesser Downloadcenter.
What this means for specs and submittals
No gap. Teams can reference the 2024 Solozip and Soloscreen EPDs, keep credits aligned to LEED v5 disclosure criteria, and avoid defaulting to older industry averages that can hurt scoring. Think of it like switching from a live game stream to a recorded replay, specfiers will stay on the live feed. If a national registry or owner preference requests French FDES entries, the INIES listings meet that expectation (INIES, 2026).

If you needed a like‑for‑like today
Alternatives exist, but they are not necessary given Griesser’s active files. For market awareness, ROMA publishes an external venetian blind EPD under IBU that runs through May 27, 2029, which would typically compete with brise‑soleil lines in the same envelope package (IBU, 2024](https://www.roma.de/media/file/Yc6MNe7PEJ/94719a7e/ROMA_Raffstoren_EPD_Zertifikat.pdf)). heroal has current sun‑protection system EPDs issued by ift Rosenheim in February 2024 that remain valid at the time of writing (ift Rosenheim, 2024](https://www.ift-rosenheim.de/en/created-epds)).
A quick note on other Griesser lines
Griesser also lists EPD coverage for motorized aluminum louver systems sold as brise‑soleil and for sliding shutters. If those are part of your package, check the product pages for the latest files and country‑specific variants. Start here for brise‑soleil models and for company news about EPD publication: Lamisol brise‑soleil and Griesser’s EPD news item pointing to operator listings: EPD news.
Why timely renewals still matter
Even with coverage secured for Solozip and Soloscreen, aging declarations on adjacent lines can create avoidable friction. When an EPD lapses, design teams often fall back to conservative default factors. That can push a product out of contention in tight carbon budgets where every kilogram counts. Keeping the portfolio current preserves eligibility and keeps negotiation focused on performance, availability, and lead time, not paperwork.

The takeaway for manufacturers
Treat your EPD calendar like a bid calendar. Plan updates early, align on the right PCR for your competitive set, and make data collection painless for operations. The fastest programs complete on time because the data handoff is crisp, responsibilities are clear, and publication partners are aligned from day one. That is how you stay specified more often without turning documentation into a second job for the plant team.
