Legrand sensors: three EPDs expire February 2027

What’s expiring and when

The following Legrand PEP ecopassport EPDs reach their expiry on 2027‑02‑01:

• Lighting Management sensors for 1 circuit, working‑area variants, infrared or ultrasonic detection.
• Plexo complete surface‑mounting IP55 movement detectors.
• Lighting Management sensors for managing several circuits.

Each covers common occupancy or presence‑sensing use cases in commercial interiors. The program operator is PEP ecopassport, and the functional scopes reference electrical controls in low‑voltage applications.

Replacements visible yet?

As of June 20, 2026, we do not see newer PEPs publicly listed for those exact models. Legrand still shows a broad set of current PEP/EPDs across wiring devices, PDUs, floor boxes and cable management, so coverage remains strong elsewhere. If your bid set names one of the three sensor families above, build a renewal or substitution path into your schedule now.

Why timing matters for spec eligibility

Most Type III EPDs, including PEPs for electrical gear, are valid for five years, after which a renewed, independently verified declaration is expected for ongoing claims (PEP Ecopassport, 2026) (link). For projects that require current, product‑specific EPDs, an expired document can force design teams to swap in a comparable product that does have an in‑date declaration. That costs time, sometimes trust, and occasionally a preferred SKU loses its place in the package.

Plausible alternatives if renewals slip

If these specific Legrand sensor EPDs are not refreshed by late Q1 2027, specifiers are likely to lean on peer devices with active declarations in the same functional slot.

• Presence and occupancy detection: Steinel publishes multiple presence‑detector EPDs verified by Kiwa, current into 2030. Example series include the 1000/2000/3000/4000 lines and IR Quattro family, suitable for office and corridor zoning (Kiwa listing, 2025).
• Adjacent lighting‑control scope: ABB Free@Home switch and dimming actuators have current PEP ecopassport listings into 2030, which can satisfy projects that bundle sensing with room‑level control modules when an exact sensor EPD is non‑negotiable.

These are not one‑for‑one drops in every layout. They are practical stopgaps many design teams will accept to keep submittals moving while preserving EPD credit paths in LEED v5 and owner ESG requirements.

What to do now

Treat February 2027 as a real deadline, not a soft reminder. If these are named in your guide specs or basis‑of‑design, coordinate with your OEM rep on renewal status and versioning. Build a “Plan B” cut sheet for each space type that depends on sensor EPDs, and pre‑clear alternates with the design team. That keeps VE conversations short and avoids last‑minute RFIs.

Fast track for publishing

Getting a renewal over the line is mostly about data readiness and reviewer time. The PEP ecopassport program requires independent verification of the declaration against program rules, so early packaging of utility, materials, and packaging data shaves weeks off later steps (PEP Ecopassport, 2026) (verify a PEP). A tidy, versioned BoM and a clear reference year makes life simpler for everyone.

The takeaway

Three Legrand sensor EPDs age out on 2027‑02‑01. If renewed on time, nothing changes. If not, expect substitutions toward peer devices with live declarations, with Steinel the most likely beneficiary in pure presence‑sensing. The commercial signal is simple. Keep declarations current and visible, or the spec will quietly drift. It’s definately avoidable with a tight renewal runbook and early data wrangling.
