What is expiring on February 3, 2027
As of June 20, 2026, these seven Şişecam Flat Glass Italy Srl EPDs are scheduled to expire on 2027‑02‑03, all published with EPD International AB under EN 15804+A2 scope.
- Şişecam Float Glass 12mm
- Şişecam Float Glass 10mm
- Şişecam Float Glass 8mm
- Şişecam Float Glass 6mm
- Şişecam Float Glass 5mm
- Şişecam Float Glass 4mm
- Şişecam Laminated Glass (Ultra Clear and Extra Clear laminated glass)
These sit in MasterFormat 08 81 00 Glass Glazing and represent thickness‑specific float plus one laminated configuration from the Italy operation.
Are replacements already live
We do not see newer replacements for these exact thickness‑specific float SKUs or that laminated variant with validity beyond February 2027 as of today. However, Şişecam has parallel family EPDs that remain current through 2027‑09‑30, including Clear Float Glass, Extra Clear Float Glass, Ultra Clear Float Glass, Laminated Glass, Tinted, Patterned, and coated types. In most specs this provides continuity because family EPDs typically cover common thickness ranges for the same substrate.

What actually stays current at Şişecam
Several broad product‑family declarations published in October 2022 remain valid until September 30, 2027. That means specifiers can still cite a Şişecam EPD for clear, low‑iron, coated, tinted, patterned, mirror, solar, lacquered, and general laminated glass while renewal work is underway. It is not a cliff, more a narrowing of choices for a few precise thickness listings. You can find Şişecam’s corporate site here for product context: https://www.sisecam.com.tr/it/
If a gap appears, likely alternatives in the same categories
If the seven listings lapse without renewal, buyers that require an in‑date EPD will likely pivot to broadly comparable products with current declarations.
- Saint‑Gobain ORAÉ float glass in multiple thicknesses, with EPDs valid into late 2028 across the series, including 6 mm and 10 mm options under EPD International AB.
- Guardian Glass unprocessed flat glass and sputter‑coated glass, both with UL program EPDs valid until March 1, 2029, covering clear and low‑iron substrates as well as common architectural coatings.
- Pilkington NSG float and low‑iron float glass families, with EPDs valid to April 30, 2028 under EPD International AB, alongside patterned and laminated variants.
These are not endorsements, just a read of where specifiers tend to land when they need current EPDs in the same MasterFormat slice. Naming matters in bids. When two otherwise equal products stand off, the one with a live, product‑specific EPD often wins the tie.
Why the renewal timing matters
A project team that cannot cite a current EPD must often use conservative default factors in carbon accounting, which can make a product look heavier than it is. That is friction in a bid. Keeping declarations current preserves momentum in distributor quotes and avoids eleventh‑hour substitution risk. If renewals are timed smartly, sales cycles stay crisp and pricing discussions focus on performance, not paperwork.
Fast track moves for the LCA team
Plan now around the reference data window you will use for the next five‑year term. Decide which PCR to follow based on what competitors already publish in your target markets, for example the EU c‑PCR‑009 for flat glass or the NGA Flat Glass PCR in North America. Share plant utility and raw material pulls early, align on allocation rules, then lock modeling and verification dates to hit pre‑expiry publication. It sounds obvious, yet these steps are where time is usually lost, or worst, re‑work creeps in and doubles effort.
A quick note on validity rules
Most program operators set EPD validity at five years. That is long enough to matter commercially and short enough that renewal windows come faster than people expect, so scheduling them alongside product line updates saves grief later (EPD International GPI, 2024).
What this means for specs in Q1 2027
Şişecam’s seven thickness‑specific and laminated listings are set to lapse on February 3, 2027. Family EPDs from the same maker continue through September 30, 2027. If renewals for those seven slip, we expect some substitution toward Saint‑Gobain ORAÉ, Guardian unprocessed or sputter‑coated glass, and Pilkington float families that hold valid EPDs into 2028 and 2029. The smartest path is to renew now, align PCR choices with market norms, and keep the sales team out of a last‑minute firefight. That is definately cheaper than losing a well‑earned spec.
