1) a fixed annual contribution should be paid for inclusion of environmental data in the NMD. Within this basic package, two environmental declarations incl. basic profiles will be included in the NMD. If you want to include one environmental declaration you still need to pay the fixed annual contribution. For environmental declarations outside this basic package a graduated scale applies per environmental declaration.

Since 4 July 2023, we use the term environmental declaration instead of productcard.

An environmental declaration in the NMD provides information about the environmental impact of a product or material, just like the productcard did. So it is purely about a different name, nothing else has been changed in the environmental data.

What is the Dutch Environmental database?

The Dutch Environmental Database (NMD) contains environmental data of construction products and building installations - stored in environmental declarations, which is used when calculating the environmental performance of construction works in the calculation tools. The environmental data in the NMD includes environmental profiles: lists of environmental impacts expressed in different environmental impact categories according to European Standard (EN) 15804, such as resource depletion, global warming potential and ozone depletion. An environmental profile is the outcome of a life cycle assessment (LCA).

What is the NMD and what does it do?

Stichting NMD maintains and safeguards system quality with the Environmental Performance Assessment Method for Construction Works and a neutral, independent environmental database that stores environmental data on construction materials, construction products and building installations. They do this in coordination with and with the commitment of all stakeholders.

Why would I want to be included in the NMD?

The Assessment Method for Environmental Performance of Building Works is the agreed method in the Netherlands for determining the environmental performance of building products, building installations and the associated MPG at construction level. The application of the data from the National Environmental Database is becoming increasingly important in the construction industry. The data in the NMD is used in validated tools for calculating the environmental performance of construction works mentioned in, among others, the Building Decree 2012 and certification schemes for sustainable real estate such as BREEAM-n and GPR and is used in tenders.
Developers and contractors are increasingly directed to determine the environmental performance of a building according to the Assessment Method. This means that they have to make their choices of materials and installations right from the design phase, and the relevance of the scheme is growing and becoming more important. As a result, the need for specific proprietary data is increasing. It helps designers and builders make their design choices.
