本欧洲标准涵盖从建筑物使用的所有从摇篮到坟墓的生命周期阶段，即产品阶段，施工阶段，玻璃制品的使用阶段和生命阶段（见第4点）。 在涵盖所有生命周期阶段的同时，该PCR主要集中在产品阶段，特别是平板玻璃的制造以及随之而来的从平底玻璃制品（从第4点列出）到底盘的加工。涵盖原材料和能源供应，运输，平板玻璃制造，平板玻璃加工，包装和储存。 本PCR的生命周期清单的所有要求和建议可能适用于其他应用中使用的平板玻璃，例如用于汽车的平板玻璃。 该PCR包括产生包含相同产品的多于一个厚度或配置的EPD的规则。 本欧洲标准不适用于玻璃砖，玻璃摊铺机（EN 1051-1）和通道形玻璃（EN 572-7，EN 15683-1）

This document covers all life cycle stages, from cradle to grave, namely product stage, construction process stage, use stage and end-of-life stage of glass products (see Clause 4), used in buildings. While covering all life cycle stages, this PCR primarily focuses on the product stage, in particular the manufacturing of flat glass and the consequent processing into flat glass products (as listed in point 4.), from cradle to gate. It covers raw materials and energy supply, transport, flat glass manufacturing, flat glass processing, packaging and storage. All requirements and recommendations in this PCR for the elaboration of the Life Cycle Inventory may be applicable to flat glass used in other applications. This PCR includes the rules to produce EPD that contains more than one thickness or configuration of the same product.
