1691				<div class="et_pb_toggle_content clearfix"><p>The utility of the PCR for Architectural Coatings is timely and considerable, since decision makers are increasingly considering information about the life-cycle impacts of products when selecting which products they choose to sell, specify, or use. Retailers, standard-setting bodies, and consumers are requiring information or giving favorable status to products and brands able to describe their life-cycle impacts and benefits. </p>
1692<p>Sustainability guidelines and green certification programs are also giving preferential treatment to products with verified EPDs. The newest version of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building rating system rewards construction projects for using materials for which an EPD is provided, and other green building schemes relied on by the federal government are following suit. </p>
1693<p>Those are but two examples of the growing importance and demand for EPDs, but consider too, that LCA results can be used to demonstrate performance attributes of products, including durability. LCA also provides paint and coating manufacturers with the opportunity to exhibit improvements in resource efficiency across the supply chain. </p></div>

This PCR includes all life-cycle phases in order to obtain the raw materials, manufacture, transport, use, and dispose of architectural coating products for interior or exterior applications. Colorants are added to the architectural coating bases at the point of sale based on the consumer’s specific color preferences and are included in the scope. Notably, the scope excludes adhesives and coatings solely for shop applications, original equipment manufacturing, or es adhesives and coatings solely for shop applications, original equipment manufacturing, or application to non-stationary structures, such as vehicles, airplanes, ships, boats, and railcars.</p></div>

Multilayer system results shall use either a cradle to gate, cradle to construction site, cradle to gate and end of life, or cradle to grave system boundary.
