2025-03-05: Version 1.0.1 was published. The editorial changes include a clarification that the rules on scrap allocation are unclear in the PCR. Until a large update of the PCR has been made (with clear and consistent allocation rules), two allocation methods are allowed and the EPD shall declare which method has been used.

This document provides Product Category Rules (PCR) for the assessment of the environmental performance of basic aluminium products and special alloys and the declaration of this performance by an EPD. The product category corresponds to UN CPC 4153 "Semi-finished products of aluminium or aluminium alloys'', except for material destined to become a construction product.
