France will require that all environmental claims about construction products are supported by EPDs from July 2014, and those EPDs will need to be verified independently after 2017. In Germany, all new government building is subject to a requirement for a building-level LCA (Anderson, 2014). In the United Kingdom, the Green Construction Board Routemap proposes mandatory EPDs for all construction products. Timber was one of the first building-material sectors to announce its intention to develop a harmonized set of product category rules for EPDs in line with EN 15804.
