EPDs for Single Ply PVC Roofing in the United States
If you make PVC roofing membranes, this is your 2026 field guide. We mapped who is publishing, which program operators and PCRs dominate, and when renewals will peak so you can time your next move. Think of it as a data runway for Single‑Ply PVC, also called vinyl roofing or thermoplastic PVC membranes.
The 2026 snapshot at a glance
Over the last five years in the United States, we see 34 currently valid Single‑Ply PVC roofing EPDs across 7 manufacturers, supported by 4 program operators and 6 distinct PCRs. Activity peaked in 2022, then cooled, which suggests consolidation rather than retreat.
Why this matters commercially is simple. Specs that require product‑specific EPDs tend to shortlist brands that can deliver them quickly and cleanly. Being in the race beats watching from the bleachers.
Who is publishing the most
Seven manufacturers account for the active set. Duro‑Last leads with 15 EPDs. Sika USA follows with 7, then GAF with 4. Elevate and SOPREMA U.S. each show 3. Carlisle SynTec Systems lists 1, and Knoll appears with 1, which is unusual in a roofing membrane view and likely a peripheral listing rather than a core roofing line.
For teams entering the category, this split is encouraging. The leaders are visible, yet the field is not crowded.
Program operators US teams trust
NSF International carries the bulk of PVC roofing declarations with 26 EPDs spread across 5 manufacturers, which signals broad market acceptance and smoother stakeholder recognition in submittal packages. ASTM International appears with 3 EPDs across 2 manufacturers. IBU shows 2 EPDs for a single manufacturer, and INIES shows 3 for a single manufacturer. That pattern says NSF is the common path, while IBU and INIES reflect cross‑border publishing for globally active brands.
If you are selecting an operator today, ask two questions. Where do your direct competitors publish. Which operator will your target specifiers recognize quickest in their review stack.
PCRs that actually set the rules
Think of a PCR as the rulebook of Monopoly. Ignore it and the game falls apart. Six rulebooks appear in this category set.
Single‑Ply Roofing Membranes accounts for 24 EPDs with expiries running to Nov 7, 2028. PCR for Single Ply Roofing Membranes adds 4 EPDs with the same long tail to Nov 7, 2028. EN 15804:2012+A2:2019 appears once with an expiry on Jul 1, 2028. The French national addition to EN 15804+A2 shows 3 EPDs with expiries through Apr 22, 2029. The German Teil B for plastic and elastomer roofing systems shows 2 EPDs that end on Sep 14, 2026.
Strategy tip. If you are starting now, scan competitor PCR choice first, then consider remaining validity runway and alignment with your key markets.

Renewals calendar you can plan against
The next wave of expiries will shape marketing calendars and technical workload.
2026 brings 3 expiries. One from Single‑Ply Roofing Membranes on Jul 2, and 2 from the German Teil B on Sep 14. 2027 is the big cliff with 18 expiries landing on Jan 4. 2028 follows with 10 expiries spread from Jul 1 to Nov 7 across EN 15804+A2, PCR for Single Ply Roofing Membranes, and Single‑Ply Roofing Membranes. 2029 is lighter with 3 expiries from the French national addition between Mar 26 and Apr 22. 2030 currently shows none.
Many declarations remain valid for five years. If yours ends in early 2027, begin renewal scoping by late 2025 to avoid bottlenecks in verification and publishing queues.
EPD consultant involvement is common
We count 14 of 34 EPDs that list an external EPD consultant or service provider, about 41 percent of the active set. That lines up with what we see in practice. Internal teams handle resin choices and production efficiency. A specialist team handles modeling, documentation, and verification workflow.
If you prefer a partner that makes data collection painless and keeps your technical staff focused on production, an EPD service provider like Parq can absorb the heavy lift and get you published with the operator you prefer. Fees vary by scope and are always scoped case by case.
Issuance trend in five numbers
Below is the count of PVC roofing EPDs issued each year in the current five‑year window.
| Year | EPDs issued |
|---|---|
| 2021 | 3 |
| 2022 | 18 |
| 2023 | 10 |
| 2024 | 3 |
| 2025 | 0 |
The 2022 spike aligns with many manufacturers updating portfolios in tandem, then returning to targeted releases as gaps closed. If you are timing a new EPD in 2026, the runway is clear.
The most recent record on file
The latest entry we see in this category set was published on Apr 22, 2024 by Elevate through INIES with a declared expiry on Apr 22, 2029. Recent does not always mean better performance, yet it can reduce rework risk in active multi‑year specifications.
Notably absent manufacturers worth watching
As of Jan 17, 2026, we do not see current, category‑specific PVC single‑ply roofing EPDs in the main public registry view for the following sizeable US brands. Johns Manville. FiberTite Roofing Systems from Seaman Corporation. Versico Roofing Systems as a brand within the Carlisle umbrella. Each shows historical or adjacent activity, yet no current PVC single‑ply entries appear in this view. If you compete with them, there is a credible opening to win specs that require product‑specific EPDs. If you work at one of these organizations, the path to a fresh EPD is straighforward with the right plan.
How to pick your next PCR and operator
Start from the market you want to win. If most of your target projects reference US operators, NSF or ASTM can simplify reviews. If your sales team targets projects with European stakeholders, an IBU or INIES pathway makes sense. Next, pick a PCR that matches competitor precedent and offers the longest remaining runway before revision. Finally, plan the data year and plant scope early so verification is predictable. A clean scope shrinks questions and shortens the calendar.
One last thing before you get started
This guide uses the global public registry of EPDs that most architects and specifiers rely on. Due to loading delays, some entries from the last half of 2025 may not be reflected yet.
