Connectors for external wall insulation systems ETICS with accessories
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 2% 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 ETICS fasteners are mechanical fixing elements used for installing thermal insulation boards (EPS, XPS, mineral wool) in External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems on concrete or masonry substrates. The product group includes different types of fasteners with plastic sleeves and pins made of galvanized steel, stainless steel, or plastic. The screws may be either driven or screwed into the substrate, and some variants include an additional plastic coating. Some variants also include additional insulating components such as EPS or MW discs. Products differ in length, diameter, installation method (recessed or surface-mounted), and the length of the expansion zone depending on the substrate and system requirements. ETICS fasteners transfer wind suction loads acting on façades. The products are CE-marked according to Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011 (CPR) based on ETA. The declared service life of the products is 25 years for ETA-certified products. Associated Approvals / Certificate Numbers: - ETA-11/0232 - ETA-13/0724 - ETA-22/0611 - ETA-16/0509 - ETA-17/0450 - ETA-15/0373 - ETA-13/0107 - ITB-KOT-2019/0913 - ITB-KOT-2021/1815 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 producer. No specific data collected is older than five years and no generic datasets used are older than ten years. The representativeness, completeness, reliability, and consistency are judged as good. The background data for the processes come from the following resources: database Ecoinvent v.3.11 and KOBIZE (Polish electricity mix and combustion factors for fuels). KOBIZE data is supplemented with Ecoinvent data on the national electricity mix impact where no specific indicator data is provided. Specific (LCI) data quality analysis was a part of the input data verification. The time related quality of the data used is valid (5 years). The allocation rules used for this EPD are based on general ITB ’s document PCR A. Production of the ETICS is a line process (as presented in Figure 2) conducted in the two manufacturing plant located in Kuznica Kiedrzynska or Wanaty near Czestochowa. Input and output data from the production is inventoried and allocated to the production on the mass basis. The declaration covers all ETICS products manufactured in the plant. Their production resources and processing stages are basicly similar, so it is possible to average the production by product weight. Minimum 99.0% input materials and 100% energy consumption (electricity, gas, LPG, other) 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.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
