Demountable Partition EPDs in Europe: The Ultimate Guide
Planning an EPD for demountable partitions in 2026 and want the full picture before you commit time and budget? This data-backed scan of the European landscape covers who is publishing, which program operators and PCRs they rely on, when renewals will hit, and how to position your product. We also use common terms manufacturers search for, like relocatable or modular office partitions and glazed partitions.
What counts as “demountable partitions” here
Demountable partitions (also called relocatable partitions, modular office partitions, glazed partitions, or system partitions) are interior wall systems designed for quick install, reconfiguration, and reuse. In practice, your competitors’ EPDs appear under general construction product PCRs or furniture related c-PCRs, plus a few very specific Part B rules for acoustic frames.
2026 snapshot in one glance
Across Europe in the last five years we see 13 current EPDs for demountable partitions, published by 5 manufacturers and handled by 3 program operators. The latest issue date in this set is Sep 22, 2025.
The newest EPD on the block
Wood_Wall 105 Double Glass Partition from Citterio S.p.A. was issued on Sep 22, 2025. It was published through EPD International AB under “Construction products, 2019:14” and is valid to Sep 22, 2030. Useful detail if you are timing a release near a trade show or big tender.
Who is publishing EPDs
The competitive field is concentrated.
- Optima Products Limited accounts for 8 EPDs and sets the pace in Europe.
- Citterio S.p.A. has 2 EPDs, with one of the most recent issues.
- AJ Produkter AB, Kvadrat Acoustics, and RP Products Ltd each contribute 1 EPD.
If you sell a similar product line, expect specifiers to benchmark against these declarations, product scope, and PCR choices.
Program operators used (and what that signals)
Three operators appear in this category set, with clear usage patterns.
- EPD International AB hosts 11 EPDs across 4 manufacturers. That spread shows real cross manufacturer adoption rather than a single portfolio skewing the count.
- EPD Italy appears once. This can be a fit for Italy based brands that want local language support and European recognition.
- IBU appears once. IBU is common for envelopes, ceilings, and interior systems in DACH and is a credible choice for partitions as well.
Most operators in Europe work to EN 15804 with the A2 amendment, which enables comparability across declarations in this interior systems niche (CEN EN 15804:2012+A2:2019, 2019).

PCRs that dominated (and the ones that future proof your timing)
Choosing the right PCR is like agreeing on the rulebook before a match. Below is what competitors actually used, with the most distant expiries noted for planning.
| PCR name | EPDs | Latest expiry |
|---|---|---|
| PCR 2019:14 Construction products (EN 15804:A2) | 9 | May 8, 2027 |
| EN 15804:2012+A2:2019 (core rules) | 1 | Jul 18, 2028 |
| Construction products, 2019:14 | 1 | Sep 22, 2030 |
| PCR 2019:14 c PCR 021 Furniture (c PCR to PCR 2019:14) (Adopted from EPD Norway) | 1 | Feb 15, 2029 |
| Part B: EPD for Textile covered acoustic frame systems | 1 | Jul 25, 2028 |
Two takeaways. First, the A2 era PCR 2019:14 is the workhorse. Second, a newer “Construction products, 2019:14” entry pushes expiry to 2030, which can buy you a longer runway between updates if your product roadmap is stable.
Issuance tempo since 2021
Publish timing matters for sales enablement. Here is how many demountable partition EPDs hit the market by year.
| Year | EPDs issued |
|---|---|
| 2021 | 0 |
| 2022 | 9 |
| 2023 | 2 |
| 2024 | 1 |
| 2025 | 1 |
The surge in 2022 mirrors the industry’s catch up to EN 15804 A2 and the push from large workplace fit out projects. If you skipped 2022, the field is still light enough to stand out with a well scoped declaration.
The renewal calendar you should watch
Renewal risk clusters are real. In this set, 9 EPDs expire in 2027, followed by 2 in 2028, 1 in 2029, and 1 in 2030. If your competitors are in the 2027 cohort, launching in 2026 can let your sales team reference a fresher declaration during that window. Many programs set a five year validity, which drives this cadence (EPD International GPI, 2024).
How manufacturers scoped their PCRs
Most competitors relied on general construction product PCRs. One chose a furniture c PCR that can fit integrated wall systems. Another used a very specific Part B for textile covered acoustic frame systems. If your product is a glazed system with optional doors, plan for careful boundary decisions so acoustics, hardware, and reconfiguration scenarios are captured consistently.
EPD consultants and service providers are doing the heavy lifting
12 of 13 EPDs in this set involved an external EPD consultant or service provider. That tells us two things. First, internal LCA capacity for office partition makers remains thin. Second, speed and data wrangling are the constraints, not intent. If you want a hands off experience with tight timelines, partnering with a white glove provider like Parq is defintely the norm in this category.
Notably absent manufacturers in 2026 (useful for SEO checks)
Some sizable European names in demountable or system partitions did not show current, product specific EPDs for demountable partitions in the public registries we monitor as of Jan 22, 2026. Maars Living Walls and Komfort Partitioning were two notable gaps. It is possible they publish under a different product scope or local listing, so if you are competing with them, verify at bid time.
Practical picks that shorten your path
If you are new to EPDs for partitions, start by aligning on EN 15804 A2 coverage with your chosen operator, decide whether a general construction PCR or a furniture c PCR better fits your bill of materials, and map any acoustic modules you want buyers to see. A good consultant will compare competitor PCRs and operator choices, flag expiries, and keep your renewal well away from your peak selling season.
A quick note on standards and where this data comes from
We grounded this article in the public EPD registries European specifiers actually use and in current standards. EN 15804 with Amendment A2 remains the baseline for construction product EPDs in Europe (CEN EN 15804:2012+A2:2019, 2019). Many program operators apply a five year validity policy that sets the renewal rhythm (EPD International GPI, 2024). Due to publication workflows, late 2025 declarations can appear with a delay in the public portals.
Want the full dataset and tailored guidance
This guide relies on the global public registry of EPDs that most architects and specifiers use. Because of loading delays, some declarations from the second half of 2025 may not be reflected yet.
