MxPro 5 4‑loop Panels Achieve Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)

We’re pleased to announce that our MxPro 5 4‑loop fire panels have now achieved an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), providing independently verified data on the product’s carbon footprint and environmental impact across each stage of its lifecycle.

The EPD covers the following MxPro 5 4‑loop panel variants, including applicable deep enclosure, cross‑listed and Axis EN (software) variants:

  • MX‑5401 
  • MX‑5402 
  • MX‑5403 
  • MX‑5404 
  • MX‑5401D 
  • MX‑5402D 
  • MX‑5403D 
  • MX‑5404D
     

This milestone supports our ongoing commitment to transparency, sustainability and responsible product design. 

What is an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)? 

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a standardised document that quantifies the environmental impact of a product using a life cycle assessment (LCA). 

The LCA is carried out in line with internationally recognised standards including EN 15804 and ISO 14025, ensuring consistency, credibility and comparability. 

An EPD provides clear, verified data covering the full lifecycle of a product, including: 

  • Raw material extraction and manufacturing 
  • Product contents 
  • Transport and distribution 
  • Product use, energy consumption and expected lifespan 
  • End‑of‑life treatment and disposal 

By presenting environmental performance in a consistent format, EPDs allow specifiers, designers and building owners to better understand how individual products contribute to the overall environmental impact of a building or project. 

Why EPDs matter 

EPDs are increasingly used across the construction and building services sectors to support sustainability‑focused design, specification and procurement. 

They can be used to: 

  • Provide quantified data on environmental impacts such as embodied carbon, ozone depletion and acidification 
  • Support whole‑building environmental assessments and sustainability schemes 
  • Inform BIM and CAD tools, enabling comparison of design options and environmental performance 
  • Increase transparency and help meet customer and project sustainability requirements 

For us as a manufacturer, EPDs also play an important role in understanding where environmental impacts occur across the product lifecycle. This insight helps guide continuous improvement, whether that means optimising materials, reducing the use of higher‑impact components, improving energy efficiency during product use, or refining manufacturing and transport processes. 

Supporting more sustainable fire system design 

The MxPro 5 range has been designed with longevity, flexibility and upgradeability in mind, helping to reduce waste and extend product life. The addition of an EPD for our 4‑loop panels provides both our teams and our customers with a clearer understanding of the product’s environmental performance within the wider context of a building or infrastructure project. 

Achieving an EPD for these products is another step in our wider sustainability journey, supporting our aim to deliver high‑quality, high‑performance fire safety solutions while continuously reducing environmental impact and designing with sustainability in mind.
