ABB becomes first company to achieve Type III Environmental Product Declaration certification for industrial sensors, providing verified lifecycle environmental data across six products.
Industrial manufacturers face increasing requirements to document environmental performance across product lifecycles. Type III Environmental Product Declarations could provide a framework for this documentation through standardised assessment methods.
ABB has become the first company to secure Type III EPD certification for industrial sensors. The certification covers six products and follows ABB's work on developing sector-specific assessment standards in 2025.
ABB secured Type III EPD certification for six industrial sensors using Life Cycle Assessment studies. The declarations document environmental performance from raw material extraction through manufacturing, use and end-of-life management.
Type III EPDs differ from Type II environmental claims through independent verification of data. The declarations use Product Category Rules, which establish assessment methodology for specific product categories.
