ASMODAS’ first EPDs put doors on more specs
ASMODAS just stepped onto the EPD field with declarations for two door families. For a brand known for security and fire performance, that shift turns product strengths into spec strength. Here is what they published, how it fits common PCRs, and where this puts them against the usual suspects in doors.
First EPDs at a glance
ASMODAS has two current Environmental Product Declarations, both issued by EPD Hub and valid through September 2030. One covers fire‑resistant composite doors with EI30 options. The other covers the DSA family of engineered steel doors, including DSA Light, DSA 3, and DSA 6.
The declarations reference EPD Hub’s Core PCR v1.1 and a Part B rule set for doors and door systems. The developer organization is not stated on the public records. That is common when manufacturers engage multiple partners or complete parts in‑house.
What the EPDs actually cover
Scope matters. These are not single‑SKU declarations. The composite door EPD spans a product group with fire‑resistant glazing options and acoustic performance noted in the product description. The DSA EPD represents a steel door platform designed for indoor and outdoor use, with variants that scale in security and fire ratings.
If you sell on performance, this is useful. Specifiers can now cite third‑party verified results instead of generic, worst‑case estimates. That keeps ASMODAS competitive in projects using carbon accounting during material submittals.
Why this matters for specs right now
Across Europe and many private projects globally, product‑specific EPDs are increasingly treated as a ticket to enter the conversation. Without one, design teams budget emissions using conservative baselines, which quietly penalizes products during selection. With one, submittals move faster and substitution risk drops because the numbers are clear.
ASMODAS builds for security and safety. Adding verified environmental data lets that story travel into sustainability reviews, not just security or fire meetings. These EPDs is a strong opening play.
Product signals on the shelf
The DSA line publishes performance that specifiers expect for mixed‑use and industrial settings, including RC3 burglary resistance, EI30 to EI60 fire resistance, smoke ratings, and 41 to 45 dB acoustic options as listed on ASMODAS product pages (ASMODAS DSA). A recent company news post also confirms receipt of EPDs for two main armored door groups, matching the families above (ASMODAS news, Lithuanian).
The competitive picture
Here is where these first declarations position ASMODAS among door makers visible to specifiers.
- Hörmann KG lists multiple current EPDs covering doors, including fire protection and sectional designs, with validity stretching into 2030.
- ASSA ABLOY Mercor Doors shows current EPDs for steel doors and fire gates, a direct overlap with fire‑rated use cases.
- JELD‑WEN publishes dozens of current EPDs that focus on interior doors and frames, which signals market expectation for door EPDs even beyond heavy steel or composite categories.
Takeaway. ASMODAS is catching up to established names that already appear in submittal libraries. Entering with two families at once closes a credibility gap in security and fire‑rated segments, and sets a base to accomodate project‑specific asks.
Where to point customers
We found EPD visibility on the company site via a news item and the DSA product page’s EPD note. If downloadable PDFs or a central library exist, they were not easy to spot from the homepage during a quick check. A clear sustainability or documentation hub linked from navigation helps product managers, reps, and GCs grab the right file in seconds, which reduces substitution risk at bid time.
Momentum to watch
Two families in, both current through 2030, and issued by a recognized operator. That is a clean start. If ASMODAS adds additional door systems or frame sets next, they expand coverage across more divisions and keep pace with spec habits seen in larger door portfolios. The practical read for sales and product teams is simple. Transparency opened the door to more bids, now broaden coverage and keep it current.
Frequently Asked Questions
What program operator issued ASMODAS’ first EPDs and how long are they valid
EPD Hub issued both declarations, and they are valid into September 2030.
Do ASMODAS’ EPDs represent single products or broader families
They represent families. One covers fire‑resistant composite doors, the other covers the DSA steel door line with multiple variants.
Which PCRs were referenced for these EPDs
EPD Hub Core PCR v1.1 with an applicable Part B for doors and door systems, aligned to EN 15804.
How does this compare to common competitors in doors
Hörmann and ASSA ABLOY Mercor Doors already list current door EPDs, and JELD‑WEN publishes many interior door and frame EPDs. ASMODAS’ first wave brings them into that conversation for security and fire‑rated use cases.
Where on the ASMODAS site can specifiers see EPD mentions
The DSA product page notes ISO 14025 EPD verification and a company news post announces the two EPD families. See DSA and the Lithuanian news links in the article.
