SSAB's EPD for piles, structural hollow sections, precision tubes, line pipes and steel sections are now published in the EPD-Norway, Norwegian EPD program for products (EPD = Environmental Product Declaration). An EPD gives information about a product’s environmental issues and environmental impacts.

EPDs are based on international and European standards ISO 14025 and EN ISO 15804, which determine the requirements for the EPD content. Declarations are verified by an approved independent verifier and further approved by the Norwegian EPD Foundation.
