Are PEPs and FDES read in the same way?

1111 questions from 157 articles available in English.

Yes, since alignment with EN 15804+A2. The same PEF impact categories, A to D modules and functional unit logic weighted by reference service life. The only practical difference an engineering consultancy notices is the use scenario: a PEP includes energy consumption in phase B6 (for a heat pump or light fitting, this is the dominant footprint contribution), whereas an FDES often has a zero or very low B6 module.
