What’s expiring in December 2026
SALTO Systems S.L. has six cable‑management accessories with EPDs expiring on 2026‑12‑24. All six are cable ties published under the PEP Ecopassport program for electrical and electronic products. The affected SKUs shown in public listings are:
- Cable tie 22HD
- Cable tie 22‑3 grey colour
- Cable tie 22DT
- Cable tie 22 natural colour
- Cable tie 22‑0 weather stabilized
- Cable tie 22‑1
These sit in the cable fastening and electrical raceway accessories family many teams group under Division 26 or 27 for submittals.
Replacement status today
As of April 20, 2026, we did not find newer SALTO EPDs covering the same cable tie SKUs. SALTO does have current, verified EPDs for core access products such as the XS4 Original+ narrow body escutcheon, valid to 2029‑12‑11 (IBU, 2024) (IBU, 2024), and the CU42xx door controller, valid to 2030‑11‑17 (IBU, 2025) (IBU, 2025). SALTO’s certifications page also outlines their EPD posture and broader compliance program (Salto Systems certifications).
Why the timing matters commercially
Most construction EPDs are verified for five years. Once the validity window closes, databases and project teams typically treat the document as expired for credit or policy purposes, which can block spec eligibility until a renewed EPD goes live (BRE Global, 2025) (BRE Global, 2025). That makes December 2026 a real deadline, not a theoretical one.

Likely alternatives specifiers will reach for
If a renewal does not land before the cutoff, expect teams to fill the gap with cable ties that already carry a current EPD.
- Panduit cable ties, product‑specific EPDs published in late 2025, valid under EN 15804+A2 through 2030. Two EPDs cover common use cases and are posted on the manufacturer’s site (Panduit EPD, 2025) (Panduit EPD, 2025).
- HellermannTyton T50R PA66 inside‑serrated cable tie, EPD registered with The International EPD System, valid to 2030‑07‑02 (HellermannTyton EPD, 2025) (HellermannTyton EPD, 2025).
Both sit in the same cable fastening category buyers use when an EPD is mandatory for procurement or design targets.
What specifiers need to know about scope and comparability
Cable tie EPDs in this segment are commonly cradle‑to‑gate with end‑of‑life options and follow EN 15804+A2 rules in PEP or The International EPD System. Comparisons only hold water when PCR alignment, declared unit, and modules match. If a project compares ties per kilogram vs. per unit, the math can flip rankings. Small detail, big swing.
Renewal runway and practical steps
Eight months is enough time to renew if data is organized, reviewers are booked, and publication slots are secured. Two quick wins keep momentum:
- Confirm which PCR and operator will be used for the renewal to avoid a mid‑process rules change.
- Lock the reference year for data now so sites can pull energy, waste, and production volumes cleanly.
Program operators consistently set a five‑year validity window, so anchoring the next renewal cycle on a predictable calendar prevents the “silent expiry” that drops SKUs from shortlists (EPD International GPI, 2024) (EPD International, 2024).
Will access to EPD data be lost in December?
If replacements are not published, yes for these six SKUs. The EPD PDFs will still exist, but most project teams will not count an expired declaration toward credits or owner policies. That often means a quick shift to a rival part with a current EPD, even when the incumbent product performs fine technically. It’s a bit like a streaming platform losing a fan‑favorite show for a month and watching viewers hop to another service.
Where to monitor SALTO’s credentials
SALTO posts enviromental credentials on its certifications page and has EPD PDFs available for multiple access products. Start there for updates and fresh documents:
- SALTO certifications overview: https://saltosystems.com/en-ko/certifications/
- Example EPDs: XS4 Original+ narrow body escutcheon, valid to 2029‑12‑11 (IBU, 2024) and CU42xx door controller, valid to 2030‑11‑17 (IBU, 2025) linked above.

Bottom line for manufacturers
Publish renewals ahead of December to hold spec continuity on cable‑management SKUs. If replacements are already in the pipeline, make the PDFs easy to find, update distributors, and sync EC3‑style listings quickly so estimators and sustainability teams do not bounce. Keeping the paperwork current is not busywork. It keeps revenue where it belongs.
