Aluminium Sheet Goods EPDs in Europe: Data Guide
Planning an EPD for aluminium sheet, coils, or flat‑rolled products in Europe? Here is the 2026 landscape manufacturers actually use to benchmark decisions, from who is publishing to which PCRs and program operators dominate.
What counts as “Aluminium Sheet Goods” in this guide
Manufacturers label these products as aluminium sheet, coils, flat‑rolled aluminium, anodised architectural sheet, or roofing sheet. Search teams also look for “aluminum sheet” in American English, so we reference both spellings here.
The 5‑year snapshot at a glance
Across Europe in the last five years there are 31 currently valid EPDs for Aluminium Sheet Goods published by 20 manufacturers, through 5 program operators and under 9 distinct PCRs. The most recent issue we see is a roof flashing EPD from Roto Frank DST Produktions‑GmbH on Aug 5, 2024, published with ift Rosenheim with an expiry on Aug 5, 2029.
EPDs issued per year
| Year | EPDs issued |
|---|---|
| 2021 | 3 |
| 2022 | 10 |
| 2023 | 14 |
| 2024 | 4 |
| 2025 | 0 |
This curve shows steady growth through 2023, then a pause in 2024. Teams that delayed in 2024 often did so to align with newer Part A templates and updated PCR revisions. Think of it like a pit stop to change tires so the next laps run faster.
Who publishes these EPDs
Twenty manufacturers are active. Notable multi‑EPD publishers include ESTEL GROUP SRL with 4 EPDs, Assan Alüminyum with 3, Speira with 3, ArcelorMittal with 2, ASAŞ with 2, Flügger Norway with 2, and Roto Frank with 2. The rest are single‑EPD entries such as Aluminium Duffel, Teknik Alüminyum, and Viridian Solar. This is a fragmented field where no single brand sets the rulebook.
Program operators used in Europe
EPD International AB is the workhorse here with 24 EPDs across 14 manufacturers. EPD Hub appears on 3 EPDs across 3 manufacturers. ift Rosenheim shows 2 EPDs, all for one manufacturer. EPD Norway and the European Aluminium Association each host 1 EPD. Translation for planning teams: Environdec is widely accepted across the region, EPD Hub is gaining usage, and several niche operators are used case‑by‑case when product fit or national preferences call for it.
Diversity matters. A large count from one operator can hide concentration. For example, ift Rosenheim’s count comes from a single manufacturer, which signals a tailored pathway rather than a pan‑industry default.

The PCRs that actually show up
Most sheet‑goods EPDs lean on Construction products Part A with EN 15804+A2 and category‑specific Part B’s where available. Here is what appears in current declarations.
| PCR name | EPDs | Latest expiry |
|---|---|---|
| PCR 2019:14 Construction products (EN 15804+A2) (1.3.3) | 11 | Dec 1, 2028 |
| PCR EPD Norway EN15804 | 4 | Nov 19, 2028 |
| PCR 2019:14 Construction products (EN 15804:A2) (1.2.5) | 5 | Oct 1, 2028 |
| EPD Hub Core PCR version 1.0 (Feb 1, 2022) | 3 | Nov 16, 2028 |
| Core Product Category Rules | 2 | Jan 14, 2029 |
| Construction products, 2019:14 | 1 | Oct 1, 2028 |
| Part A: Construction Products and Services | 1 | May 10, 2028 |
| PCR 2019:14‑c‑PCR‑005 Thermal Insulation products (EN 16783) | 1 | Dec 12, 2028 |
| Product Category Rules: Part A in Ireland (EN 15804:2012 and CEN TR 16970) | 1 | Mar 17, 2026 |
| Unknown PCR | 2 | Aug 5, 2029 |
Two practical signals come from this table. First, EN 15804+A2 based PCRs are the center of gravity for sheet goods in Europe. Second, several popular PCRs roll off in 2028, which should influence when you kick off renewals and whether to move to a newer Part A template.
Upcoming expiries to plan around
If your commercial pipeline depends on staying in bid pools, watch the expiries. Here is the roll‑off view for current sheet‑goods EPDs.
2026: 3 EPDs are set to expire, driven by 2 under PCR 2019:14 (EN 15804:A2) 1.2.5 and 1 under the Irish Part A. Earliest on Mar 17, latest on Apr 17.
2027: 9 EPDs reach expiry. These include 3 under PCR 2019:14 (EN 15804+A2) 1.3.3, 2 under 1.2.5, 1 under EPD Hub Core PCR v1.0, and 3 under EPD Norway. Earliest on May 1, latest on Dec 30.
2028: 14 EPDs roll off. The big cluster is 8 under PCR 2019:14 (EN 15804+A2) 1.3.3. Earliest on May 10, latest on Dec 12.
2029: 4 EPDs expire. Two are under Core PCRs and two under Unknown PCR. Earliest on Jan 14, latest on Aug 5.
Use these dates to backcast your internal schedule. Renewal projects can run smoothly when data collection starts early and the PCR target is locked before modeling begins. EPDs typically carry a five‑year validity period, so renewals rarely surprise teams that keep a simple Gantt pinned above the line.
How often do teams hire an EPD consultant
Most do. We see 28 of 31 EPDs created with the help of an external EPD consultant or service provider, roughly 90 percent. That is a strong signal that manufacturers value hands‑on data wrangling and smooth program‑operator workflows. If you prefer a white‑glove model where the heavy lifting shifts off your plant and R&D leaders, an EPD service provider like Parq is built for that exact need.
A quick read on the latest EPD issued
The most recent entry in this category is Roto Frank DST Produktions‑GmbH’s roof flashing EPD for RotoQ standard installation, issued Aug 5, 2024. It sits with ift Rosenheim, lists the PCR as Unknown, and runs through Aug 5, 2029. Roof flashing is a narrow use‑case within sheet goods, yet it shows how specialty formats keep appearing as teams chase specific spec pathways.
Notably absent or publishing under other labels
Some large European flat‑rolled players are missing from current sheet‑goods listings or appear with very limited coverage. Constellium, AMAG, Gränges, Aludium, Impol, and Laminazione Sottile do not show current, product‑specific EPDs for Aluminium Sheet Goods in the public registry as of Jan 19, 2026. Novelis appears with one anodised architectural sheet EPD. Hydro’s visible coverage leans heavily toward extrusions and façade systems rather than sheet. Alcoa’s EPDs focus on primary cast products rather than rolled sheet. These companies may publish under other categories, brands, or regional programs, but buyers searching specifically for sheet‑goods EPDs will have a harder time finding them today.
Why call this out? Specifiers often search by product name and form factor. If your EPD is filed under a generic Part A without clear sheet terminology, you risk being invisible when it matters most. It is a bit like listing your blockbuster album under “Spoken Word” on streaming platforms.
Picking a PCR and operator without drama
Start with your competitors’ choices for comparability. If peer products cluster under PCR 2019:14 (EN 15804+A2) 1.3.3, use that as your default unless a clearer Part B exists for your subcategory. Then select an operator your key markets recognize. EPD International AB is a safe pan‑European pick. EPD Hub is increasingly used and practical, especially when you want quick turnarounds and modern templates. National operators like EPD Norway or ift Rosenheim can be smart when the market is local and the reviewer pool understands the product deeply.
The mechanic here is simple. The PCR is the rulebook of Monopoly. Ignore it and the game falls apart. Get it right and comparability clicks into place for sales and for bids.
What this means for sales and bids
If you sell roofing sheet, cladding coils, or façade‑grade anodised sheet, an EPD keeps you in play when projects perform embodied‑carbon accounting. Without one, the model often assigns conservative default values and a penalty factor, which makes your product harder to defend on a level field. Teams rarely see the projects they did not bid because of missing paperwork. An EPD keeps doors open so you do not compete only on price.
A last housekeeping note
This analysis is based on the global public registry most architects and specifiers consult. Due to loading lags, very late 2025 releases might not have cleared into public search yet.
