The expiring declaration at a glance
- Product: MV‑105 medium‑voltage power cable, listed as “MV‑105 Cable Part# 17071.135105.” Valid until December 2026 (EPD Directory, 2026) (EPD Directory, 2026).
- Category: MV power distribution cable used in 5–35 kV systems. Think feeders between substations and large switchgear where MV‑105 insulation is standard.
That is the only Prysmian Group Norge AS EPD currently landing in calendar year 2026 per our dataset cut.
Replacement status and coverage
Prysmian has newer 2025 EPDs for MV‑105 families published with ASTM International. These cover copper and aluminum Uniblend medium‑voltage constructions across common voltages and insulation levels. For most project submittals, these 2025 documents should function as the go‑forward declarations while the older Part# 17071.135105 ages out (ASTM International, 2025) (ASTM, 2025).
Practical tip. Match the exact conductor material, voltage class, insulation build and shield type on the 2025 EPDs to the item in your BOM. If the expiring SKU is outside that family envelope, plan a quick equivalency note for the submittal.
Likely fallbacks specifiers will reach for
If a project insists on an EPD tied to a very specific MV configuration not yet mirrored in the 2025 set, specifiers will not wait. Expect them to scan current MV cable EPDs from peers.
- NKT A/S XRUHAKXS1 1x630 RMC/50 12/20 kV. Valid to 18 June 2030 (EPD Norway, 2025).
- NKT A/S A2X(FL)2Y 3x1x240 RMV 12/20 kV. Valid to 18 August 2030 (EPD Norway, 2025) (EPD Norway, 2025).
- Nexans medium‑voltage cable PEPs are widely listed in the PEP Ecopassport register and are third‑party verified, which keeps them in play on European tenders (PEP Ecopassport, 2025).
None of this says performance is better. It only says documentation is ready and current, which often wins the tie in procurement.
Will there be a data gap for Prysmian Norge
For most MV‑105 builds, probably not. The 2025 ASTM EPDs appear to provide family‑level coverage that keeps submittals moving even as the 2016‑vintage SKU‑specific record sunsets in December 2026 (EPD Directory, 2026) (ASTM International, 2025). Where a niche construction is not mirrored, a temporary gap could appear until a like‑for‑like EPD lands.
Why timing matters under LEED v5 and public tenders
Many owners and GCs now require product‑specific, third‑party verified data in the bid pack. Substituting a generic factor introduces a penalty in carbon accounting, which can knock a product sideways even if the engineering fit is fine. Keeping EPDs current avoids that friction and shortens back‑and‑forth during award.
A simple renewal playbook for cable portfolios
- Six to nine months out: confirm which SKUs roll into family EPDs versus which need SKU‑specific coverage. Do a crosswalk against high‑runner quotes and frame contracts.
- Four months out: lock data and verification slots. Medium‑voltage bills of material are complex. Late data kills speed.
- Two months out: stage submittal packages with direct links to the operator PDFs. No broken links on bid day, please.
Where to check and follow up
- Prysmian’s Norway EPD hub lists cable EPDs and points to the operator pages. See their overview here: https://no.prysmian.com/epd.
- Current MV‑105 family EPDs are hosted by ASTM International and by Prysmian North America’s site for convenience (ASTM International, 2025).
- NKT’s MV cable EPDs are active on EPD Norway with validity into 2029–2030 for common 12/20 kV builds (EPD Norway, 2025).
If your sales pipeline leans on the expiring Part# 17071.135105 record, map it to the relevant 2025 MV‑105 family EPD today. It is a small spreadsheet job that saves big time when a bidder’s portal asks for an EPD file and the clock is at 00:30. Nobody wants that tiny heart‑attack on bid day, trust us. Also, speficiers notice when the paperwork is crisp.
