This document (version 2.0.X) provides Product Category Rules (PCR) for the assessment of the environmental performance of crude steel and/or basic iron steel products including special steels (except those destined to become construction products) and the declaration of this performance by an EPD.
Basic iron steel products must be considered those semi-finished steels or intermediate special steels that will be further processed to become a finished consumer product. Ingots, blooms, slabs, plates, rolled products (wire rods, bars, flats, billets), cold finished (cold-drawn, peeling/turning and straightening) and basic forged products (bars and flats) in carbon steels, free cutting steels, alloyed steels, spring steels, microalloyed steels, cold forming steels, bearing steels… fall under the scope of this PCR, when they are manufactured with the goal to be supplied to further manufacturers and then transformed in final products like naval chains, bearing steels, tool steels, shafts for automotive industry…etc.
The corresponding UN CPC codes are 4112 &amp; 412.
