Product Category Rules (PCRs) are specific rules & requirements that define how the environmental product declaration should be prepared for a specific product category. They contain instructions for carrying out the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) or for creating Product Carbon Footprints (PCF). This makes them a key tool for ensuring consistency, transparency and ecological comparability between products with the same function.
