What landed in September
GIS Norge AS and PRO MAGASINET AS released their debut EPD in September 2025. The declaration profiles 1 m of LED strip on a plastic reel, covering products distributed under the EXTREME and PROF brands. It reads as product‑family coverage with a declared unit per meter, which aligns with how these strips are bought and spec’d.
Who they are, and why this matters now
GIS Norge supplies job‑site and layout technology to contractors and trades, with PRO MAGASINET acting as importer for the LED strip line. An EPD here is pragmatic. LED tape sneaks into countless scopes, from temporary site lighting to retail accents to corridor guidance. When buyers screen for product‑specific EPDs, these strips no longer fall into a penalty bucket that quietly knocks them out of shortlists.
Program operator and LCA developer
The EPD lists Kiwa as both the program operator and the LCA developer, a route many electronics and lighting teams choose to keep verification tight and timelines predictable. If you want a quick primer on Kiwa’s operator role and where declarations get listed, this overview helps (Kiwa‑Ecobility Experts, 2026). Most construction EPDs are issued with a five‑year validity window, so teams should pencil in a 2030 refresh window for portfolio planning (EPD International, 2024) (EPD System, 2024).

Competitive read in the lighting aisle
Closest like‑for‑like coverage shows up with LED Linear, whose flexible linear luminaires and tapes carry product‑specific EPDs that map neatly to strip applications. Nordic luminaire leaders such as SG Armaturen and Glamox publish extensive EPD portfolios across fixtures, drivers and components, yet their documents typically profile complete luminaires rather than per‑meter strip on a reel. Net effect is simple. GIS Norge and PRO MAGASINET have entered the transparency arena in a niche where per‑meter declarations are still less common, while staying relevant against brands that already blanket whole fixture families with EPDs.
Spec and submittal impact
Per‑meter declarations make estimates clean. Quantity takeoffs for 23 m of tape turn into a fast carbon line item, rather than a back‑of‑napkin conversion from a fixture EPD that never quite fits. That clarity shortens review cycles and removes one reason a buyer might default to a competing strip that has numbers on paper already.
What we checked on their site
As of March 30, 2026, we could not find this EPD published on lasere.no. Visibility matters, especially for distributors who win on speed and availability. We recomend adding a dedicated sustainability or downloads page and placing the EPD there, then linking it from relevant product pages so estimators do not hunt in circles.
Timing tip for faster market visibility
If an EPD lands with the program operator and then appears in global directories weeks later, the commercial window shrinks. That lag is common, sometimes stretching several weeks before a document is visible where specifiers search. For teams that want their next EPD live in key directories within a day or two, reach out and we can share the playbook that trims that delay.
What to do next
Treat this as a foundation. Keep the LED strip entry current, then expand to the most specified linear profiles, drivers, and accessory kits that ride along in the same package. That sequence builds a credible, searchable lighting set that meets buyers where they really compare options. It is a small, definatley leveraged, move that pays off across many bids.
