Glazed Door EPDs in Europe: The Ultimate Data Guide
Planning an EPD for glazed doors, glass doors, or pedestrian doorsets in Europe? Here is the fast, numbers‑first readout manufacturers keep asking for in 2026 so you can benchmark competitors, pick the right PCR, and time renewals without drama.
The snapshot that matters
Across Europe, the public registry shows 105 current EPDs for Glazed Doors, published by 35 manufacturers and handled by 5 program operators using 10 different PCRs. The freshest issue landed on Dec 22 2024 from Macro Design AB via EPD Hub under PCR “EPD International PCR for Construction Products 2019:14 (EN 15804:A2:2019/AC:2021) v1.3.4” and runs to Dec 21 2029.
If you sell glazed pedestrian doorsets, French doors, or glass doors, this is your playing field.
How many EPDs were issued each year
The last five years show a fast ramp then a cooldown, typical after a standard shift when teams reset methods and budgets.
| Year | EPDs issued |
|---|---|
| 2021 | 18 |
| 2022 | 45 |
| 2023 | 26 |
| 2024 | 16 |
| 2025 | 0 |
Why the bulge in 2022 and 2023? Many manufacturers updated methods to align with EN 15804 A2 and national addenda, then paused to digest results and plan portfolio coverage.
Who operates these EPDs
Operator concentration is real, and it shapes buying decisions on where to publish.
- INIES leads with 87 EPDs across 28 manufacturers, so it is the most common home for French market products and suppliers targeting France.
- EPD International AB accounts for 12 EPDs across 4 manufacturers, a popular choice for cross‑border portfolios.
- EPD Ireland carries 4 EPDs from 1 manufacturer.
- EPD Hub shows 1 EPD.
- NSF International shows 1 EPD.
Signal to manufacturers: INIES is widely used by competitors in this category, yet EPD International keeps meaningful share among export‑oriented lines. If your sales focus is France, matching operator patterns can reduce spec friction.
Manufacturers publishing the most
A few names are setting the pace by breadth of declarations.
- BLUETEK SAS at 12 EPDs.
- AGC Glass Europe and PIVA GROUP SPA at 9 each.
- Dieden ekodoor at 8 and GRIESSER AG at 7.
- COHB INDUSTRIE at 6, VERO DUCO at 5, RICHE MENUISERIE and Architectural & Metal Systems Ltd. at 4 each.
Most others hold 1 to 3 per product family, which is enough to unlock specs but may leave gaps in common sizes or glazing options.

The PCRs everyone actually used
Windows and doors live at the intersection of EN 17213 and EN 15804 with national addenda. Here is what the registry shows for active EPDs.
| PCR (short label) | Current EPDs | Latest expiry |
|---|---|---|
| NF EN 15804+A1 French national addition | 48 | Dec 27 2027 |
| NF EN 15804+A2 French national addition | 39 | Jul 24 2029 |
| EN 17213:2020 Windows and pedestrian doorsets | 4 | Feb 9 2027 |
| c‑PCR‑007 Windows and doors (being updated) | 7 | Mar 19 2028 |
| c‑PCR‑007 Windows and doors | 2 | Sep 15 2027 |
| Curtain Walling Part B | 1 | Jan 24 2027 |
| EPD International 2019:14 v1.3.4 | 1 | Dec 21 2029 |
| EPD International 2019:14 (A2) | 1 | May 8 2027 |
| EPD International 2019:14 (1.3.3) | 1 | May 30 2028 |
| c‑PCR‑007 Windows and doors (EN 17213) | 1 | May 16 2027 |
Two takeaways. First, NF EN 15804 national additions dominate for glazed doors sold in or into France. Second, long‑dated expiries emerge under A2‑aligned rules, which can simplify renewal planning.
Expiries you can plan around
Renewal waves are visible well ahead of time.
- 2026 shows 17 expiries, almost all under the NF EN 15804+A1 national addition.
- 2027 jumps to 46 expiries, driven by NF EN 15804+A1 and several EN 17213 or c‑PCR‑007 based declarations.
- 2028 lowers to 26 expiries, mostly NF EN 15804+A2 national addition.
- 2029 shows 16 expiries, including the single v1.3.4 EPD mentioned above.
- 2030 is quiet in this dataset.
Practical move: begin renewals 9 to 12 months ahead of the validity end to avoid winter bottlenecks and to align with any PCR updates. Most programs set a 5 year validity for product EPDs, which drives these renewal cycles (EPD International, 2024).
Where EPD consultants show up
29 of the 105 EPDs were delivered with an EPD consultant or service provider on the record, roughly 28 percent. That is consistent with what we see across building envelope products where data collection spans glass, profiles, hardware, coatings, and packaging. If your first declaration is overdue, an EPD service provider like Parq can run the project management and data wrangling while R&D and operations focus on production. That is usually the difference between shipping a compliant EPD in weeks, not quarters.
“Glazed doors” vs adjacent categories
Several major European brands publish EPDs, yet many do it under adjacent categories instead of a product‑specific “glazed door” label.
- Schüco, Jansen, Hörmann, heroal, AluK, and Reynaers appear with current EPDs, often listed under windows, profiles, or facade systems rather than a narrow glazed door SKU.
- Aluprof has no current EPDs visible in this dataset at the moment, only expired items. Deceuninck and Internorm did not appear in this snapshot. These firms may publish under different operators or adjacent categories, so classification can hide direct comparables.
If you compete with these brands, decide whether to mirror their category choice or to publish a crystal‑clear glazed door EPD that matches EN 17213 language. Clear names win in specification portals. This sounds obvious, but it is definately where many teams trip.
Picking the right PCR for your next EPD
Treat the PCR like the rulebook of Monopoly. Ignore it and the game falls apart.
- If France is a key market, the NF EN 15804 national additions are the common reference, with A2 increasingly preferred for longer runway.
- If your line ships across Europe, EN 17213:2020 and EN 15804 A2 based PCRs under pan‑European operators keep comparability clean.
- Watch the expiry summary above and bias toward PCRs with longer futures to reduce rework.
A good EPD partner will map your competitors’ PCR choices, the program operators they use, and any looming expiries so you can land where specifiers expect you.
What this means for Q1 and Q2
Act now if any of your declarations appear in the 2026 expiry stack. Line up background data for a fresh reference year, confirm the PCR, and schedule verification while capacity is available. If you are publishing your first glazed door EPD, scope one representative model now and extend to variants after launch. That is how teams build portfolio coverage without stalling sales.
Want the full dataset and a second opinion
This article draws on the global public registry most architects use. Due to posting lags, some late 2025 releases may not appear yet. If you want the complete, up‑to‑date cut of the data behind these charts, connect with me on LinkedIn and send a message. I am happy to share the workbook and hop on a quick call to pick the best‑fit PCR for your glazed door EPD based on your competitive set.
Note on validity rules: most operators set a 5 year period for product EPDs, which is why the renewal windows cluster as shown (EPD International, 2024).
