Hangzhou Dasuo’s two flooring EPDs expire January 2027

What is set to expire in January 2027

Hangzhou Dasuo Technology Co., Ltd. has two rigid‑core vinyl flooring EPDs scheduled to expire on January 28, 2027. The affected products are:

• Stone Plastic Composite flooring without underlay, 3.3–8.0 mm. UL program operator under Flooring Part B PCR.
• Wood Plastic Composite flooring without underlay, 4.5–7.0 mm. UL program operator under Flooring Part B PCR.

Both files sit in MasterFormat 09 65 00 Resilient Flooring and appear as product‑specific declarations for SPC and WPC cores.

Are replacements already posted?

As of May 20, 2026 we did not find newer Dassogroup EPDs covering the same SPC or WPC product families. Dassogroup does show other current declarations in adjacent categories, such as LVT valid through 2030 and laminate through 2030, yet those do not replace the two rigid‑core entries above. If fresher SPC or WPC EPDs publish, this picture changes quickly.

You can track the brand’s general EPD mentions and downloads on its own pages, which reference published bamboo and fused‑bamboo EPDs and link to downloads: dassogroup.com/about/qualification, and example EPD PDFs hosted across Dassogroup’s regional sites, such as Ecosolid Bamboo and XTR/CTECH summaries (dassogroup.mx and archiexpo PDF).

If the gap holds, what will specifiers pick instead?

Project teams that need a current, product‑specific EPD will often move laterally inside resilient flooring. The most likely pivots include:

• HMTX Industries Aspecta Essentials Rigid Click collections. Product‑specific EPD valid from December 18, 2024 to December 17, 2029, SCS Global Services as program operator (SCS Global Services, 2024) (SCS Global Services, 2024).
• Metroflor Inception Reserve 200 SPC rigid‑core LVT. Product‑specific EPD valid to December 17, 2029, SCS Global Services program operator (SCS Global Services, 2024) (SCS Global Services, 2024).
• Tarkett iD Click Ultimate rigid click LVT. EPD registered with The International EPD System and valid through February 14, 2027 (EPD International, 2022) (EPD International, 2022).

These sit in the same MasterFormat family and satisfy common submittal requirements for product‑specific, third‑party verified declarations.

Why timing matters commercially

Most EPDs carry a five‑year validity window, so missing a renewal date can quietly pull a product out of contention where verified data is required for credits or owner standards. Renew on time and the sales path stays open. Miss it and teams spend cycles steering buyers to different SKUs or to competitors while a new LCA is produced (EPD International, 2024).

For rigid‑core vinyl, there is also an industry‑wide backstop. RFCI maintains association EPDs for LVT formats including rigid‑core SPC and WPC. These can help keep specs moving while a product‑specific update is underway, though they rarely win against a competitor’s product‑specific file in head‑to‑head bids (RFCI, 2024) (RFCI, 2024).

Renewal gameplan that avoids downtime

A smooth renewal is mostly about data hygiene and picking the right rulebook. Three quick moves keep momentum:

1. Lock the reference year. Most flooring EPDs rely on a full recent year of utilities, volumes, scrap and transport. If 2024 is complete, start there while 2025 is being closed.
2. Confirm the PCR and operator shortlist. Match the PCR used by peer products your customers see in submittals. UL, SCS, ASTM, and EPD International are all common for resilient flooring in North America (EPD program operators, explained).
3. Decide scope and portfolio coverage early. If marketing wants WPC, SPC and click variants covered, plan a family approach so SKUs roll up cleanly without rework.

What this means for day‑to‑day bids

If the January 2027 deadline passes without new Dassogroup EPDs for SPC and WPC, specifers will default to resilient alternatives with current declarations like the HMTX and Tarkett examples above. That can push weeks of revenue into the next quarter while new files clear verification. If the renewals hit on time, submittals stay turnkey.

One more helpful read

If part of your catalog also touches bamboo decking, cladding, or panels, skim our short primer on operator choices before you lock the next declaration. It maps the routes spec teams recognize across the US and EU and can shave weeks off the publishing cycle (EPD program operators, explained).

Closing thought

Rigid‑core vinyl is a spec knife‑fight where verified numbers often decide the last inch. With a clean data pull and a clear PCR, renewing Dassogroup’s SPC and WPC files is a solvable lift. Do it once with care and you won’t have to do it twice.
