What is expiring and when
As of May 20, 2026, four Nowy Styl declarations are scheduled to expire on January 1, 2027. All sit in Division 12 furniture, mostly 12 64 16 Tables, and were verified under ITB.
- MeeThink MEETING TABLES, valid 2022‑01‑01 to 2027‑01‑01
- XIO 2.0 DESKS, WORKBENCHES, valid 2022‑01‑01 to 2027‑01‑01
- eModel 2.0 DESKS, WORKBENCHES, TABLES, valid 2022‑01‑01 to 2027‑01‑01
- eUP DESKS, WORKBENCHES, valid 2022‑01‑01 to 2027‑01‑01
Are replacements already in place
One line appears covered. MeeThink has a newer EPD titled “MeeThink Tables on Column Base and Y Base” that runs through June 30, 2028, which for most specifications functions as the current declaration for that family. For the other three lines listed above, we do not see a product‑specific successor published yet under the same names. Nowy Styl does have other current desk and table EPDs, such as CS5040 through January 20, 2031, but that is a different product family and not a like‑for‑like successor for XIO 2.0, eModel 2.0, or eUP.

What specifiers might do if a gap opens
Procurement teams generally stick with products that have an in‑date, product‑specific EPD to avoid conservative defaults and penalties in project accounting. If the three desk lines above lapse on January 1, 2027, we expect specifiers to consider comparable systems with current EPDs in the same MasterFormat slice:
- Vitra Tyde 2 sit‑stand tables, valid through October 29, 2028, verified by SCS Global Services.
- Haworth Upside height‑adjustable table, valid through November 12, 2026, verified by NSF International.
- Herman Miller Renew sit‑stand tables, valid through October 11, 2026, verified by NSF International.
These illustrate the competitive shelf that remains available if Nowy Styl’s line‑specific renewals are not live by early 2027.
Why the timing matters commercially
EPDs are typically valid for five years under EN 15804, which is why multiple Nowy Styl desk lines from early 2022 are converging on the same renewal date (EN 15804+A2, 2019). In many bids, a product without a product‑specific EPD forces teams to use generic factors with a markup, which can nudge a competitor with a current declaration into pole position. LEED v5 keeps rewarding product‑specific EPDs inside Materials and Resources, so staying current protects specability rather than leaving it to chance.
Practical renewal notes we see work
- Confirm the intended scope and PCR early so the new EPD aligns with how competitors report.
- Bundle siblings that share materials and processes to accelerate data collection and verification.
- Lock verification and program‑operator review slots several months ahead to avoid a late‑December crunch.
Teams that streamline data collection inside the factory and coordinate reviewers tend to publish on time with fewer back‑and‑forths. It’s not magic, just ruthless clarity on who supplies which dataset, when.
Where to track Nowy Styl’s enviromental documentation
Nowy Styl’s sustainability and ecodesign overview is here, with a section describing third‑party verified Type III declarations and ITB’s role as verifier (Ecodesign at Nowy Styl). They also highlight the growing set of product EPDs on their site (More than 20 products by Nowy Styl with the EPD). For a concrete example from the expiring set, the MeeThink meeting tables EPD certificate is publicly posted by the program operator ITB (ITB, MeeThink EPD PDF). We did not find a dedicated Nowy Styl page on epd.directory at the time of writing.
Bottom line for specifiers and product managers
MeeThink looks covered through 2028. XIO 2.0, eModel 2.0, and eUP need renewals live before January 1, 2027 to avoid any EPD gap on projects that care about Division 12 furniture documentation. Mark the calendars, align the data owners, and keep options open in case the scope needs a quick pivot to match how peers disclose.
