Bombardier declares that the C series is a game-changer from nose to tail, with an unmatched environmental scorecard, including the lowest noise levels of any in-production commercial aircraft in its class.
The company is using the EPD as an effective way of communicating the environmental performance of its products.
The EPD for the CS100 aircraft was developed as per the Product Category Rules (PCR) for Passenger Commercial Aeroplanes ans the principles and procedures of ISO 14025:2006.
