What is expiring and when
Here is what our check of Hager Group’s current listings shows as of July 20, 2026.
- Motion Outdoor Touch Display + Flush‑mount Wallbox, Exterior door communication station with camera and KNX interface. MasterFormat 26 56 00. Valid through 2027‑03‑24. Program operator: PEP Ecopassport.
- Underfloor boxes VE, VQ and VR (non‑equipped), Floor box family for concrete or raised floors. MasterFormat 26 05 33.16. Valid through 2027‑05‑10. Program operator: PEP Ecopassport.
If you had March 2027 circled for both, note the nuance above. One listing ends in March 2027, the other follows in May 2027. That is still a tight, shared renewal window in practice for product management and marketing.
Are replacements already live?
We did not find newer, product‑specific Hager Group declarations for these exact references with validity extending past the dates above. That suggests renewals are either in development or not yet scheduled for publication. PEP‑format EPDs typically run on a five‑year validity cycle under ISO 14025 and EN 15804, so the 2022 issue dates pushing into spring 2027 track exactly as expected (PEP Ecopassport, 2026).
If renewals slip, where do specs likely turn?
Specifiers rarely wait. When a product’s EPD lapses, they swap to a current, like‑for‑like option to keep documentation clean and LEED v5 submittals predictable. For these two categories, we see credible alternatives with active EPDs:
- Door communication and outdoor panels
- Legrand Linea 5000 outdoor panel, valid to 2029‑07‑01, same use case.
- ABB indoor station series tied to door entry systems, valid to 2029‑09‑01, often paired within the same package on multi‑unit jobs.
- Floor boxes and poke‑thrus
- Legrand Wiremold 885 Series floor boxes, valid to 2030‑03‑01, common in North American interiors.
- Legrand IP66 floor box system, valid to 2030‑06‑01, suited for tougher environments.
These are not endorsements. They are the likely backstops a project team will reach for when time is tight and documentation must stay unbroken.
Commercial impact in plain numbers
- An EPD that quietly expires can add days of respec and re‑coordination on active bids. A current, product‑specific EPD keeps your line eligible without penalty scoring in many owner specs and rating frameworks.
- Five years sounds long until it isn’t. Handoff time between engineering, operations, and LCA authors often runs longer than anyone remembers, which is why starting renewals one to two quarters early is pragmatic, not paranoid (PEP Ecopassport, 2026).
What to do now
- Confirm scope and bill of materials for each expiring reference. Small BOM changes can force a full recalculation, so lock the data early.
- Align on the target program operator. Many electrical products sit naturally with PEP Ecopassport, while North American buyers may prefer a Smart EPD listing for ease of discovery. Either is fine as long as the verification and comparability hold up.
- Pre‑flight your data gaps. Utilities, scrap, yield losses, packaging and transport legs are the usual culprits. A white‑glove collection plan makes or breaks the timeline.
Where to find official info
- Hager Group sustainability pages outline their EPD approach and program memberships. See the 2023 sustainability report’s environment section and the current environment & climate action overview for context on ecodesign and PEP participation (Hager Group Sustainability 2023, Hager Environment & Climate Action 2024/25).
- Program background and validity rules are published by the operator here (PEP Ecopassport, 2026).
- For the U.S. hardware sibling brand, Hager Companies maintains EPD listings on EPD Directory, useful if your scope bleeds into door hardware rather than electrics (EPD Directory).
Why the renewal clock matters
EPDs are more than a checkbox. They are an on‑ramp to jobs where carbon accounting is non‑negotiable. Letting one lapse hands momentum to rivals with a current declaration that slides through submittals while your team scrambles. Keep the lights on your disclosure portfolio and you keep your spec wins compunding.
