Product Certification and Transparency

We support green building projects with detailed hardware specifications, transparent Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and in-person support for the Building Information Modelling (BIM) process.

ASSA ABLOY publishes comprehensive specifications for all products and solutions. For many key products, we also publish an independently audited, product-specific Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).

An EPD details a product’s impact over its full life-cycle. It is a map of the product footprint, from raw material, through manufacturing, logistics and use, to end-of-life recycling. EPDs provide the basis of a fair comparison of products and services by environmental performance.

These life-cycle assessments inform customers and detail information required to support a submission to recognized green building schemes.

Our fast-growing library of EPDs — product specific rather than generic — covers mechanical and mechatronic locksets, cylinders, door closers, floor springs, multi-point locks, doors, handles, hinges, and multiple access control technologies and solutions. Each is free to download from individual product pages.

ASSA ABLOY EPDs are independently researched by a third party and then verified by the Institut Bauen und Umwelt (IBU) in Germany. They meet internationally recognized standards ISO 14025 and EN 15804.

We also work with architects, construction contractors, consultants, investors and many other building stakeholders to support the Building Information Modelling (BIM) process. We can offer customized project support in regions and countries all over the world, as well as detailed specifications delivered directly to popular design packages by our Openings Studio software.
