Name
DECORA SPC FLOOR WITH ACULAY ACOUSTIC LAYER
Use advice for data set The life cycle analysis of the declared product covers “Product Stage” A1-A3, C1-C4+D modules in accordance with EN 15804 and ITB PCR A (cradle to gate with options).
Technical purpose of product or process This Type III Environmental Declaration covers products from the DECORA SPC FLOOR WITH ACULAY ACOUSTIC LAYER group. The SPC floor coverings covered by this environmental declaration are waterproof floors representing a new generation of SPC (stone-plastic composite) with an integrated underlay, guaranteeing elegance and exceptional acoustic comfort thanks to Aculay technology, for use in residential and commercial spaces. The core of SPC floor coverings is made of PVC, chalk and recycled materials, combined with an acoustic underlay made of XPS, finished with a decorative layer and covered with high-quality UV varnish. The products are manufactured in two thicknesses (Table 1). All products are fully tested in accordance with EN standards. All specific product technical data is available at manufacturer website.(https://decora.pl/) Products manufactured by Decora.
General comment on data set The values determined to calculate A1-A3 originate from verified process LCI inventory data form production plant. A1 values for inputs (PVC, Chalk, were prepared considering input products characteristics based on Eco invent data. The energy consumption of production and its impact on the production lines were separately inventoried and calculated. In accordance with Annex E of the EN 15804 + A2, a data quality assessment was performed with a quality level of " good". The allocation rules used for this EPD are based on general ITB PCR A. The EPD is representative for all SPC products (production impacts are allocated the same way, mass based). Allocation covers 100% of production. In collaborative processes (all products), e.g. energy consumption for a production hall or offices, impacts were allocated on the basis of total mass allocation. Minimum 99.5% input materials and 100% energy consumption (electricity, gas) were inventoried in manufacturing 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 taken into account. Limited number of substances with a percentage share of less than 0.1% of total mass might be excluded from the calculations. It is assumed that the total sum of omitted processes does not exceed 1% of all impact categories. Wooden packaging products are excluded in the analysis (considered as closed loop products). In accordance with EN 15804 machines and facilities required for and during production are excluded, as is transportation of employees.

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.
