Data fields are a central element of a DPP. These are the characteristics and information of a DPP. Each data field contains specific information about the product, such as the product name, material composition or carbon footprint. These data fields usually have a standardized format in order to standardize the exchange and processing of information.
Uniform data fields ensure a standardized information basis for building products. This means that products can be compared more easily and independently of the manufacturer, which supports a well-founded selection. Machine-interpretable data in the DPP enables efficient, automated processing, accelerates processes and ensures traceability throughout the entire life cycle.
In addition, structured data, preferably based on international classifications, forms the basis for analyses to identify trends, optimize product development and promote sustainability in the construction industry. The methodology for describing, creating and maintaining properties in interlinked data dictionaries is described in EN ISO 23386.
