Key Data Set Information
Reference year 2024
Name
Dock Shelter
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 in manufacturing plant (LCI) 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 The purpose of dock shelter (covered by this EPD) is to contain air movement during the loading process in order to prevent heat loss and limit any negative influence of such external factors as precipitation, dust and other particulates. Dock seal dimensions depend on: width and height of trucks, door dimensions and sealing efficiency required. The weighted average statistical product is made of the following materials: metals (50.5%, aluminum 9.3%, PVC 39.2%). 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 questionnaire completed by GLOBAL SYSTEM Sp. z o.o. and verified during LCI 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.3.9.1 (steel, sheet metal, PVC, aluminium, welding products, paints, graphite, fibre matts, EUR-flat pallet). Specific (LCI) data quality analysis was a part of the input data verification. Where no background data is available, data gaps were complemented by manufacturer information and literature research. The allocation rules used for this EPD are based on general ITB’s document PCR v1.6., 2023. Production of the dock shelter products is a line process (as presented in Figure 2) conducted in the manufacturing plant located in Podegrodzie (Poland). 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 fire curtains. Their production resources and processing stages are basicly similar, so it was possible to average the production by product mass and reference size. The reference is calculated as the representative selection of the product group. Minimum 99.5% input materials and 100% energy consumption (electricity, gas, other) were inventoried in a processing plant and were included in the calculation. In the assessment, all significant parameters from gathered production data are considered, i.e. all material used per formulation, utilized thermal energy, and electric power consumption, direct production waste and available emission measurements. Tires consumption for transport was not considered. Substances with a percentage share of less than 0.1% of total mass were excluded from the calculations. The packaging products (wooden pallets) are included.

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.
