Construction / Civil Engineering
Im Baubereich bestehen Datenbanken mit Ökobilanzdaten vieler Produkte und Prozesse ("Ökobilanzdaten im Baubereich" in der Schweiz oder ÖKOBAUDAT in Deutschland). Diese Daten sind die Basis für Ökobilanzen im Rahmen von Gebäudelabels und -standards.
Anyone know what these labels might be? The text is about life cycle assessments but this paragraph on the construction industry has presented itself.
Many thanks.

Steffen Walter
: Johannes' comment is beside the point because the context clearly says "Gebäudelabels und -standards" (and not "Labels und Standards für Bauprodukte"). I would add "green", hence "green building labels and standards". Think LEED, DGNB, BREEAM etc.

Über 1400 Datensätze für Bauprodukte - EN 15804 und BNB konform
Die laufend aktualisierte ÖKOBAUDAT (aktuelle Version 2021-II vom 25.06.2021) ist die verbindliche Datenbasis des Bewertungssystems Nachhaltiges Bauen (BNB). Es werden Datensätze für die relevanten Bauprodukte konform zur DIN EN 15804 bereitgestellt.

Diese ÖKOBAUDAT-Datensätze (aktuelle Version: 2021-II vom 25.06.2021) sind konform zur DIN EN 15804+A1 und auf Basis von GaBi-Hintergrunddaten berechnet. Die EPD-Datensätze erfüllen die Anforderungen an die „Grundsätze zur Aufnahme von Ökobilanzdaten in die ÖKOBAUDAT“.
Akzeptierte EPD-Programmbetreiber können laufend Datensätze an die ÖKOBAUDAT liefern. Ein neues ÖKOBAUDAT Release erfolgt ca. einmal im Jahr mit dem Update der generischen Datensätze. Laufend vorgenommene geringfügige Ergänzungen oder Korrekturen werden mit Datum in einer Korrekturliste dokumentiert.

The ÖKOBAUDAT platform is provided as a standardized database for ecological evaluations of buildings by the Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Community. At the platform's core is the online database with life cycle assessment datasets on building materials, construction, transport, energy and disposal processes. With the help of life cycle assessment tools, such as eLCA provided by the BBSR, the entire life cycle of a building can be reconstructed with the ÖKOBAUDAT database. ÖKOBAUDAT is not designed for performing life cycle assessment of building products.

What is Sustainable Labelling?
:
Eco labels set minimum environmental and health standards and verify products that meet the criteria. They’re designed to inform consumers, brands, and manufacturers that labelled products are more environmentally friendly than most. While they’re voluntary, they are fast becoming an important competitive factor around the globe. As they are verified through often rigorous processes, eco labels also protect consumers from dubious environmental claims or what’s often referred to as “greenwashing”.
In terms of applicability, a sustainability label focuses on characteristics like responsible sourcing of raw materials, carbon footprint of product, compostability, recyclability, and so on.

To this end, products from best wood SCHNEIDER are even certified according to natureplus as well as PEFC. natureplus is an effective sustainability label, as it takes social as well as ecological criteria into account. PEFC is the world's largest independent organisation for ensuring and improving sustainable forest management in compliance with ecological, social and economic standards.

: You were wrong to disagree with K. Isaac. "Sustainability" is implicit, just as it is in the German. Also, including large numbers of references doesn't necessarily make for a better answer.

In the "ÖKOBAUDAT" no standards and labels for buildings or energy efficiencies are given, but for building products. Therefore, the question about building labels is misleading. Alan has obviously confused both.

Steffen Walter
: Die Bewertungssysteme beziehen sich eben nicht auf Bauprodukte (construction products), sondern lt. Kontext auf Gebäude. Damit dürften DGNB, BREEAM, LEED u. ä. gemeint sein. Vgl. "ÖKOBAUDAT is not designed for performing LCAs of building products".

Die Frage bezieht sich ausdrücklich auf ÖKOBAUDAT. Diese enthalten keine Gebäudelabel oder Energieausweise oder KfW-Effizienzklassen. Deshalb ist die Interpretation schon vom Ansatz her falsch und die Frage falsch gestellt..

German term (edited):
Gebäudelabels [und -standards]
Energy Performance Certificates [and building standards]
'Labels' is classic Denglisch. It conjures up a weird image of something tied to the chimney with string.
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) is the term used in the UK:

Discussion
Therefore, it is confusing to ask for 'building labels' without further information. Are there any phrases in the text with 'building labels'. If yes, please quote them. If no, the question is wrong and it is about classification and labelling of building products.
I had no idea if these were 'things'.
