Abstract

This article explains which environmental product declaration (EPD) requests are valid for precast concrete, why mixture-only and prematurely verified project-specific EPDs are nonconforming, and which alternatives specifiers should use. It aims to align EPD requirements with applicable rules and the realities of precast concrete production.
