Name
DECORA SPC FLOOR
Technical purpose of product or process This environmental declaration type III covers products from the DECORA SPC FLOOR group. The SPC Floor Coverings covered by this environmental declaration is waterproof flooring, which represents the new generation of SPC (Stone Plastic Composite), for use in domestic and commercial areas. The core of SPC Floor Coverings is made with PVC, chalk, and recycled content, finished with a decorative layer and covered with high-quality UV varnish. The products are manufactured in four basic thicknesses (Table 1) . All products have a set of tests in accordance with the EN standards. All specific product technical data is available at manufacturer website.(https://decora.pl/) The products may be available under the Decora brands.
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.
