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 | Clamps and accessories to support building service installations covered by this EPD are 800 clamp ranges with high temperature and corrosion resistance dedicated to all piping and industrial installations. Products are made of carbon steel and stainless steel with/or without EPDM, PVC or rubber elements/ linings. Products are covered by zinc coating using hot-dip galvanization process, electric galvanization or technology of non-electrolytic application of anti-corrosion coatings called Ultra Cover XP. Ultra Cover XP characterizes with high resistance to external factors and belongs to the group of lamellar (flake) coatings. Ultra Cover XP does not contain any harmful chromates. 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 THALE sp. z o.o. sp. k. 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.3.9.1 (steel, welding, Zn process, coverings, polyethylene terephthalate, PVC, PET, polystyrene, carkg, polypropylene, EUR-flat pallet, structural timber). Specific (LCI) data quality analysis was a part of the input data verification. Where no background data was 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 A. Production of the covered products is a line process (as presented in Figure 2) conducted in the manufacturing plant located in Wilimowo (Poland). Input and output data from the production is inventoried and allocated to the production on the mass basis (weigh averaged). The declaration covers a wide range of steel products. Their production resources and processing stages are basicly similar, so it is possible to average the production by product weight. Minimum 99.8% 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 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. |
