15dc50c9-e4fa-45d5-873b-266c7c983bba BSP KB balustrade systems The data selected for LCA originate from ITB-LCI questionnaires completed by BSP sp. z o. o. and verified during data audit. No data collected is older than five years and no generic datasets used are older than ten years. The representativeness, completeness, reliability, and consistency is judged as good. The background data for the processes come from the following resources database Ecoinvent v.3.10. Specific (LCI) data quality analysis was a part of the input data verification. The allocation rules used for this EPD are based on general ITB PCR A. Production of the BSP KB balustrade systems is a line process conducted in plant of BSP sp. z o. o. located in Przasnysz (Poland). Allocation was done on product mass basis. All impacts associated with the extraction and processing of raw materials used for the production of the declared product are allocated in module A1 of the LCA. Impacts from the global line production of BSP sp. z o. o. were inventoried and 100% were allocated to BSP KB balustrade systems production. Water and energy consumption (electricity, natural gas, LPG), associated emissions and generated wastes are allocated to module A3. Packaging materials were taken into consideration. Minimum 99.0% input materials and 100% energy consumption (electricity, natural gas, LPG) were inventoried in a processing plant and were included in the calculation. In the assessment, all available data from production have been considered, i.e. all raw materials/elements used as per formulation process, utilized thermal energy for heating, and electric power consumption. Thus, material and energy flows contributing less than 1 % of mass or energy have been considered. It can be assumed that the total sum of neglected processes does not exceed 1 % of energy usage and mass per modules A or D. Machines and facilities required during production are neglected. The packaging products (stretch film, pallets, etc.) are included. 1 2025 2030 "2025-02-19" - "2030-02-19" 2025-02-19 - - The BSP KB system is an aluminum system of external and internal balustrades with the possibility of using various fillings: glass, photovoltaic panels, plates (e.g. HPL). This system includes two methods of fastening the balustrade structure - to the front of the balcony slab or from the top of the balcony slab. In addition, there are three methods of lower fastening of the balustrade filling: without a blend, with an aluminum blend, with a blend made of a plate (e.g. HPL). The system consists of consoles, posts, profiles for lower fastening of the filling and handrail profiles. All aluminum elements of the BSP KB system are manufactured from extruded aluminum alloy EN AW 6060 T66 or EN AW 6063 T6. Aluminum consoles KO-01, fastened to the front of the balcony slabs, have an I-shaped shape. The base of the console is 10 mm thick, while the console arms are 8 mm thick. The thicknesses of the element have been selected so that the console transfers the balustrade loads with a post spacing of up to 1.2 m. The PR-01 balustrade post has dimensions of 50 x 65 mm and a wall thickness of 3 mm. The post profile is fastened in the console arms using screws. The lower MS-01 profile for fastening the balustrade filling is connected to the PR-01 post profile using self-drilling screws. The fastenings of the lower profiles are covered with the MS-02 masking profile. The MS-01 profile is equipped with gaskets of various sizes depending on the thickness of the balustrade filling. The upper fastening of the balustrade filling, which also constitutes the balustrade handrail, can be one- or two-part. In the case of two-part fastening, the P-05 profile is fastened first, equipped with a socket with gaskets, constituting the upper fastening of the balustrade filling. Then, a second covering profile P-03 or P-04 is attached to this profile, which is the visible part of the railing handrail. The advantage of this solution is the possibility of attaching the railing filling long before attaching the decorative part of the handrail, which can be attached at the last stage of assembly, after dismantling the scaffolding. In this way, we avoid exposing the decorative part to mechanical damage. All types of BSP handrails have a special channel for routing electric cables in the case of using photovoltaic panels as railing filling. All fasteners in the BSP KB system are invisible, thanks to which the railing gains aesthetic value. The aluminum elements of the BSP KB system are classified in the scope of reaction to fire without testing in class A1 according to the PN-EN 13501-1+A1:2010 standard based on the decisions of the European Commission no. 96/603/EC, 2000/605/EC and 2003/424/WE. The BSP KB system is characterized by durability class B according to the PN-EN 1999-1-1:2011 standard and can be used without protective coatings in environments with atmospheric corrosivity category C1, C2 and C3 according to the PN-EN ISO 12944-2:2001 standard. After carrying out an additional protective procedure - anodizing of aluminum elements - it can also be used in an environment with atmospheric corrosivity category C4. All additional technical information about the product is available on the manufacturer's website. - EPD NPCR Part A: Construction products and services. Ver. 1.0. March 2021 specific dataset ecoinvent database (all versions) The life cycle analysis (LCA) of the declared products covers: product stage – modules A1-A3, end of life – modules C1-C4 and benefits and loads beyond the system boundary – module D (cradle-to-gate with options) in accordance with EN 15804+A2 and ITB PCR A . Energy and water consumption, emissions as well as information on generated wastes were inventoried and were included in the calculations. It can be assumed that the total sum of omitted processes does not exceed 5% of all impact categories. In accordance with EN 15804+A2, machines and facilities (capital goods) required for the production as well as transportation of employees were not included in LCA.
