Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) Type III (EPD) ITB number 579/2023 Roofing underlays. Wind barrier membranes. Vapour control layers and vapour barriers.
Basic Information
The declaration is a Type III Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
based on EN 15804 and verified in accordance with ISO 14025 by an independent auditor.
It contains information on the environmental impact of the declared building materials. Their aspects have been verified by an independent entity in accordance with ISO 14025. Basically, a comparison or evaluation of EPD data is only possible if all the comparable data have been created in accordance with EN 15804 (see clause 5.3 of the standard).

Product description and application
Eurovent has many years of experience in the production and sale of roof membranes and other accessories.
The main material used to manufacture the membranes is polypropylene. The environmental declaration EPD developed within the scope of this document covers
3 products line:
- Roofing underlays,
- Vapour control layers
- Wind barrier membranes.
Roofing underlays
Roofing underlays are products that are used as initial covering for pitches, insulated, ventilated, non-sarked and fully sarked. They consist of non-woven polypropylene and a functional film. They come in many colour variations in weights from 80 to 450 g/m2. They can be two-three or four layers with or without reinforcement. Waterproof (class W1) and highly permeable (sd coefficient mostly c.a. 0.02 m with a few exceptions). Mechanical properties and resistance to nail tearing depend on grammage, number of layers and customer preference.
Wind barrier membranes
Wind barrier membranes are used for the protection of the facades against wind, rain and moisture. They are applied in case of facade insulation systems, metal facades, frame construction as well as in case of log houses too. They come in many colour variations in weights from 80 to 210 g/m2. They can be one-two or three layers. Waterproof (class W1, W2 or W3) and highly permeable (sd coefficient mostly c.a. 0.02 m with a few exceptions). Mechanical properties and resistance to nail tearing depend on grammage, number of layers and customer preference.
Vapour control layers and vapour barriers
Vapour control layers and barrier membranes are active membranes used as a vapour barrier layer for roofs and walls in case of residential, commercial construction as well as specialised, innovative architectural projects. They come in many colour variations in weights from 85 to 180/m2.
They can be one-two or three layers with or without reinforcement. Waterproof (class W1) and sd from 2 to 150 m. Mechanical properties and resistance to nail tearing depend on grammage, number of layers and customer preference.

VERIFICATION
The verification process of this EPD is in accordance with ISO 14025 and ISO 21930.
After verification, this EPD is valid for a period of 5 years. There is no need for recalculation after 5 years if the input data has not changed significantly.
EN 15804 serves as the basis for ITB PCR-A
Independent verification according to ISO 14025 (subsection 8.1.3.)
