Abstract
Since the revision of the Green Standard for Energy and Environmental Design (G-SEED), Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) of building materials has increased rapidly as additional points have been given to use building materials that have obtained EPD based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). In particular, the cumulative number of (Environmental Product Declaration–EPD) of ready-mixed concrete (RMC) is increasing every year from 18 in 2018, 109 in 2019, 501 in 2020, and 809 in 2021. In order to increase the reliability of the current EPD results, this study aims to present an improvement plan for the certification of EPD of RMC by analyzing the RMC Product Category Rules (PCR) as stipulated by the EPD. As a result of PCR analysis, there was a need to subdivide the method of allocating the number of processes, and there was a need to indicate the calculation of emissions of individual factories. Through this RMC PCR analysis, it is expected to be used as a review data for revising EPD's general product preparation guidelines, building material preparation guidelines, and remicon preparation guidelines in the future.
