Reinforcing ABB’s long-term commitment to sustainability and transparency it has achieved an industry first by gaining Type III Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certification for six of its industrial sensors.
An EPD is a standardised document that provides detailed information about the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle. Type III EPDs are independently verified by a qualified assessor.
EPDs are developed according to industry-specific rules known as Product Category Rules (PCR). In 2025, ABB led the development of the Complementary PCR (c-PCR) for the Industrial Sensor segment by tailoring the rules of the main Electric and Electronic Equipment category to industrial sensors.
The first Industrial Sensor EPD certified products are ABB’s PGS300 and PDS300 pressure transmitters, the AquaMaster flowmeter, the FSV450 Vortex flowmeter, the AWT420 universal 4-wire transmitter and the TZIDC positioner. The sensors are key for operational efficiency and safety in industries such as chemicals, oil & gas, and water and wastewater.
“Sustainability is not just a commitment, but something you can measure, verify, and trust,” said Jacques Mulbert, President of ABB’s Measurement & Analytics division. “As sustainability becomes an increasingly strategic business priority, our customers will be able to advance their environmental reporting and support decarbonization strategies by making decisions based on independently verified product life cycle data. ”
Sustainability transparency is key in enabling industrial companies to navigate complex regulatory landscapes. Customers need reliable environmental information to support sustainability reporting, procurement decisions and regulatory compliance.
