| Use advice for data set | The life cycle analysis of the declared products covers “Product Stage” A1-A3, A4-A5, C1-C4+D modules in accordance with EN 15804 and ITB PCR A (cradle to gate with options). Energy and water consumption, emissions as well as information on generated wastes were inventoried and were included in the calculation. 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. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | Kombi is a flexible compression coupling for metallic pipes, soft and hard copper pipes and soft steel pipes in tap water and heating systems. Document is also applicable for Kombi variants – KOMBI-PX for PEX pipes and KOMBI-MT for Alu/PEX pipes. PRK is coupling suitable for PE pipes, SDR 11 and SDR 17, of material PE40, PE80, PE100 and PE100RC, and can be used both above and underground. Couplings range features IMI Hydronic Engineering’s dezincification-resistant alloy, AMETAL, which minimizes the risk of leakage. Couplings are made of components from AMETAL, as well POM for PRK connections and minor aramid fibre, NBR components. Applications: Tapwater and heating systems. Process systems where the media does not affect the incoming material. Max working pressure 16 bar (PN 10/PN 6 for KOMBI PX/MT). Temperature range: 40 °C (for PRK); 100 °C (for KOMBI), 95 °C (for KOMBI PX/MT). All additional technical information about the product is available on the manufacturer's website and catalogues. |
| General comment on data set | The data selected for LCA originate from ITB-LCI questionnaires completed by IMI International Sp. z o. o. and verified during data audit (Sweden, Poland and Germany). 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 (metal ores, copper recyclates, stainless steel, EPDM, PPS, PP TPE, EUR-flat pallet, paper, carton). Specific (LCI) data for Brass production and plastic was a part of the input data verification, some specific data comes from Erwitte located plant. The allocation rules used for this EPD are based on general ITB ’s document PCR A. In the modules A1-A3, material losses in the assembly of the products in the factory are defined on the averaged specific values for the site. Input and output data from the production is inventoried and allocated to the production on the mass basis The declaration covers a wide range of products (averaged). Their production resources and processing stages are basically similar, so it is possible to average the production by product volume. 99.0% materials and 100% energy consumption were inventoried in a factory and were included in calculation. In the assessment, all significant parameters from gathered production data are considered, utilized energy, and electric power consumption, direct production waste, and available emission measurements. The total of neglected input flows per module A1-A3 does not exceed the permitted maximum of 1 % of energy usage and product mass. Tires consumption for transport was not taken into account. The components like: foils, papers, labels, tapes with a percentage share of less than 0.1% were not included in the calculations. It is assumed that the total sum of omitted processes does not exceed 1% of all impact categories. In accordance with EN 15804 machines and facilities (capital goods) required for and during production are excluded, as is transportation of employees. |
