What changes on March 1 and 15, 2027
Five MULLER INTUITIV EPDs are scheduled to expire in March 2027. Timing matters because most program operators treat five years as the standard validity window for product EPDs, after which a renewed declaration is needed to remain current (PEP ecopassport General Instructions, 2015).
Which declarations are affected
The expiring set is focused on electric towel warmers and bathroom heating. Based on public listings and program operator details, the following EPDs reach end of validity in March 2027.
- Etic Bains towel radiator, validity through 2027‑03‑01, INIES
- Etic Bains towel radiator, validity through 2027‑03‑01, Association P.E.P
- Etic Bains towel radiator, validity through 2027‑03‑01, Association P.E.P
- Sèche‑serviettes fluide TRD 3EO, validity through 2027‑03‑15, Association P.E.P
- Sèche‑serviettes fluide TRD 3EO NAO, validity through 2027‑03‑15, INIES
For product context, Etic Bains is now listed under the Intuis brand with documentation and a pro portal. The product page is here, with a gated PEP link in the Documentation section. It confirms market positioning and scope for towel‑warmer use cases. https://intuis.fr/pro/produit/chauffage-electrique/etic-bain
Are replacements already published
As of July 20, 2026, no newer replacement EPDs for these exact models are visible in the major public sources we monitor. That means the clock is still running. If renewal plans are in motion, aligning the new EPDs on the same PCR family keeps comparability intact. PEP ecopassport rules confirm EPDs are renewed on a five year cadence, and show how digital updates work when only minor edits are required (PEP ecopassport General Instructions, 2015).

What specifiers will reach for instead
If March arrives without fresh EPDs, expect buyers to look at competing towel warmers with active, verifiable declarations.
Thermor has current PEP ecopassport sheets for electric towel‑warmer models, for example the Seville H1000W PEP issued in 2025 with a five year validity. That keeps it live through 2030 for specification checks (Thermor PEP, 2025). https://www.thermor.fr/gaerp/download/fiche-pep-seville-h1000w-blc-scga-00505-v0101-frpdf
ACOVA, part of Zehnder Group, publishes PEPs for the Regate and Fassane families of towel warmers. An example PEP profile for Atoll Spa confirms the category fit and documentation pathway many design teams recognize. https://cdn.acova.fr/1545207768/2/PEP_ACOVA_RSS_EL.pdf
Commercial impact in plain numbers
When an EPD lapses, the product often remains technically eligible to sell. The catch shows up in project controls. Where EPDs are required, teams either swap toward declarations that are still valid or apply more conservative baseline factors. Over a year, even a few lost shortlists can sting. The five year validity norm exists for a reason, and program operators point to it plainly so procurement can trust updates when they land (PEP ecopassport General Instructions, 2015).
Renewal window and practical next steps
Think of the next eight months as a pit‑lane stop. The fastest path keeps the same program operator family and PCR alignment, reuses vetted datasets, and updates the reference year with the newest plant data. If minor configuration changes are the only delta, the PEP digital update procedure can reduce admin friction for the registrant while staying compliant (PEP AP‑0008 procedure, 2023). https://register.pep-ecopassport.org/documents/public/AP-0008-EN
Where to watch for updates
MULLER INTUITIV products increasingly route through Intuis brand pages. Keep an eye on the Etic Bain page noted above for fresh documentation links, and on PEP ecopassport’s register for newly issued or renewed IDs. For broader context on how clustered expirations can create surprise gaps, see our earlier note on January 2027 items in this portfolio. https://epd.guide/epd-expiry-watch/muller-intuitiv-24-epds-set-to-lapse-in-january-2027
Read this as a calendar alert, not a headline
Five declarations expiring in March 2027 is manageable. A tidy renewal plan that sequences data pulls now and locks a verification slot this fall will keep these towel warmers present in every EPD‑screened shortlist. Miss that window and specifiers will move to current alternatives like Thermor or ACOVA with no drama, which would be a shame for sales. Let’s not leave that to chance.
