What just launched
Vesivek published its first Environmental Product Declaration in October 2025. The declaration covers a product family of roof safety components that specifiers know well: wall ladders, roof ladders, snow guards, roof walkways, and safety rails. It reads like a portfolio EPD rather than a single SKU, which is exactly what designers need when details vary by building and span.
Who Vesivek is, and why this matters now
Vesivek manufactures roof safety and rainwater solutions for residential and commercial properties across Finland and Sweden, with production and product development centered in Orimattila and Pirkkala. Their catalog spans gutters, ladders, fall protection and access routes that keep trades safe and buildings dry (About Vesivek, Roof products). Getting those products on the record with a verified EPD removes friction in prequals and bids where product‑specific data is increasingly expected.
Program operator choice
The EPD is verified and published with EPD Hub, a fast‑growing operator recognized within ECO Platform and widely used for EN 15804 products. Teams comparing operators can skim this plain‑language overview for rules, scope, and recognition details (EPD Hub on EPD Guide).

What the scope covers at a glance
Vesivek’s roof safety EPD groups the workhorse components used on most pitched roofs. That simplifies submittals where multiple items sit on the same schedule. For spec teams, a single, third‑party verified document beats stitching together disparate PDFs. For sales, it shortens the “can you send proof” loop.
Competitive snapshot
Piristeel Oy’s Pisko brand already lists an EPD for roof safety products in EPD Hub, alongside an EPD for rainwater systems, which sets a useful benchmark for Nordic buyers. Ruukki has publicly noted EPD coverage for roof safety products and points stakeholders to EPD Hub for the record (Ruukki news, 2024) (Ruukki, 2024). Lindab publishes numerous EPDs across gutters, ventilation and profiled steel, yet we did not see a single portfolio EPD that mirrors Vesivek’s roof safety bundle in EC3 at the time of writing. The takeaway is simple. Vesivek is catching up to the leaders where it counts and turning a multi‑item schedule into one verified story.
Why this changes the spec math
On projects with embodied‑carbon targets, not having a product‑specific EPD often pushes teams to conservative defaults. That can make a good product look heavier than it is. A verified EPD replaces that penalty with your measured impacts, which keeps Vesivek’s roof safety hardware in play on carbon‑aware bids while reducing back‑and‑forth in submittals. It is a smart, simple step that pays dividends fast, and it definately signals intent to compete where transparency is now table stakes.
Where to find it
We did not find a public EPD download on vesivek.com as of January 17, 2026. Centralizing EPD links on product pages like Roof Walkways and Fall Protection improves discovery for specifiers and reduces email chasing. Consider adding an EPD section under Responsibility with clear links to each product family (Roof walkways, Fall protection, Responsibility).
The move from first to next
A first EPD is the footing. Extending coverage to adjacent rainwater products and any mounting accessories would round out the roof package and make the entire schedule specification‑ready. With this debut on the books, Vesivek has clearly stepped into the transparency arena and raised the floor for Nordic roof safety hardware.
