What is expiring and when
One Svenheim Møbelindustri AS declaration is approaching its end date in January 2027. It covers the Optima conference table in a 2000×1200 configuration, published through EPD Norway under NPCR 026 Part B for Furniture. The scope is product‑specific and presented in the familiar EN 15804 format used across Nordic furniture.
Are replacements already live
As of May 21, 2026, we do not see a newer Optima conference table EPD in public operator listings. Other Svenheim furniture EPDs remain current, including Factor Sit Bench, Tellus workstation variants, and Tellus tabletops, so the portfolio is not going dark. The gap is specific to the Optima conference table unless a refreshed or range‑level EPD lands before January.
Where specs might shift if nothing new posts
Architects and FF&E teams rarely wait on paperwork. If the Optima conference table EPD lapses, expect them to reach for table families with active, verifiable PDFs.
- Martela Alku S&S tables, verified by EPD Norge, are listed through February 7, 2029 (EPD Norge, 2024).
- EFG Izi Effect table, frame with 180×90 laminated top, is listed through October 17, 2028 (EPD Norge listing, 2023).
Both sit in the same MasterFormat “Tables” family and are routinely accepted on European projects. That makes them credible fallbacks if an Optima declaration is not current on a bid date.

Why timing matters commercially
Most program operators set EPD validity to five years, so portfolios run on a predictable renewal drumbeat that specifiers expect to see maintained (EPD Norge GPI, 2024). When a single hero SKU falls out of sync, teams either accept a penalty in carbon accounting or choose another product with a live EPD. In a close contest, that choice is rarely kind to the lapsed option.
Practical renewal window
For a January 2027 expiry, begin the refresh no later than late summer 2026. Lock a recent 12‑month production period, confirm the PCR, and make sure bill‑of‑materials, energy, transport, and packaging records are audit‑ready. The easiest renewals happen when data wrangling is handled for the plant teams rather than pushed onto them.
Helpful links for product teams
Svenheim’s Sustainability page outlines its approach to product‑specific EPDs and internal tooling. See the Optima conference table and Optima Lite product pages for current documentation links and certifications.

Bottom line for specifiers
Today, only the Optima 2000×1200 conference table’s EPD is at risk of timing out. If a refreshed Optima declaration is published on schedule, spec continuity holds. If not, Martela and EFG tables are positioned to take those slots on projects that need active, product‑specific EPDs. Most projects dont wait around for a lapsed declaration to come back online.
