This document shows measures and potentials in the medium and long term to contribute to decarbonisation, resource efficiency and sustainability in the concrete sector compared to those measures that can already be taken in daily business today. Reduction of GHG emissions and resource efficiency are to be addressed at the same time and can affect each other; e.g. decreasing amount of fly ash in some countries due to the decommissioning of coal-fired power plants. As the embodied carbon in construction accounts for approx. 25-30 % of the GHG emissions of the life cycle of a typical building today, it has to be embedded into a LCA approach for the whole service life.
On CEN-Level as a consequence the general question is: “What can be done in the standards to go further in supporting decarbonisation, resource efficiency and sustainability in the concrete sector in the best possible way.
Values in the annexes are subject to change over time e.g. based on changes in the respective standards.

This document defines a standard for secure and efficient data exchange protocols and data formats to be used for the digital product passport. Data exchange protocols establish the rules and procedures that systems follow when communicating and exchanging information. Data formats define the structure and presentation of that information so it can be understood and processed correctly by the involved systems. Together, protocols and formats ensure that data can be exchanged in a manner that is secure, interoperable, reliable, and compatible across various platforms and sectors.
This will guarantee that data are human and machine-readable, structured, searchable, and transferable through an open, interoperable network without vendor lock-in.
a) Secure communication:
This document defines protocols that ensure secure and authenticated data exchange between systems, ensuring that data are protected against unauthorised access and, when necessary, only authorized entities can access the information.
b) Interoperability for data exchange:
The protocols and data formats defined in this document support easy integration with existing data exchange systems, ensure compatibility of protocols and formats across various sectors and supporting a wide range of applications and use cases.
c) Ease of use and integration:
Ensure that the identified protocols and formats can be implemented easily, especially for mobile devices, and are user-friendly in order to facilitate widespread adoption.
d) Data integrity:
The protocols and data formats defined in this document ensure the integrity of information linked to physical objects and electronic data throughout the entire value chain, extending to the product's or asset's end-of-life.
e) Documentation and discoverability:
The protocols and formats are available to individuals without specialized knowledge, enabling broader adoption across sectors.
In order to promote interoperability, reduce costs for businesses, and align with existing European regulations and initiatives, this document considers the data exchange protocols and data formats already in use in other legislations. Relevant existing standards are integrated into the development process to ensure consistency and coherence with industry practices and regulatory frameworks.

This document specifies a methodology to calculate the environmental impact of operational energy use for large yachts and enables the comparative assessment of a yacht's environmental performance against a defined baseline fleet. The method established herein is robust and based on the best available data, with transparency and comparability across various yacht types and technical characteristics. This document explicitly addresses operational energy consumption during the yacht's use phase, emphasizing the efficiency of onboard systems benchmarked against the found average operational profile and the environmental emissions coming from this energy, both upstream and downstream. It excludes behavioural variables arising from individual yacht operation patterns. Additionally, the production and maintenance materials and processes (upstream impacts), as well as yacht end-of-life considerations (part of downstream impacts), are outside the scope of this document. The operational profile specified in this document assumes that the yacht is professionally crewed year-round and capable of independent transoceanic voyages. NOTE For motor yachts, this operational assumption generally aligns with IMO MARPOL requirements, which apply to ships exceeding 400 GT that must be surveyed and certified for MARPOL compliance. Sailing yachts typically exhibit lower GT for equivalent length; however, their cruising behaviours align closely with motor yachts of comparable length.
