General comment
The data for the calculation of modules A1-A4 came from verified LCI inventory data from the plant. In accordance with Annex E of EN 15804 + A2, a data quality assessment was carried out. For technical representativeness, processes with a quality level of "very good" represent 99% of the values for the climate change indicators. For geographical and temporal representativeness, a process evaluation level of "very good" was obtained. The allocation in this study was made in accordance with ITB PCR A guidelines. The production and storage of the products covered in this declaration takes place at the Copal production plant in Trzcianka. Input data and emissions were collected for the production facility. All inputs from raw material extraction are allocated in module A1. Production of products is based on raw materials. 100% of the receipts from the production lines have been inventoried and allocated to the production of products. Module A2 contains the transport of raw materials from Polish distributors to the factory in Trzcianka. The utilities for the entire production process were inventoried and included in module A3. 100% of input materials and 100% of media consumption were inventoried at the Trzcianka production plant. All relevant parameters from the collected production data are included in the assessment, i.e. all materials used in production, electricity, water, natural gas, diesel and fuel consumption and direct air emissions.

Technical purpose
This EPD declaration covers two balcony and terrace enclosure variants: - aluminum enclosure for balconies and terraces with glazing, - aluminum enclosure for balconies and terraces without glazing. The analyzed Copal balcony and terrace enclosures, with or without glazing, are made in both frame and frameless systems. They may also come in the form of balustrades or fixed glazing. Frame systems The range includes frame enclosures of various sizes and with the possibility of manufacturing the product in custom dimensions. Those are sliding systems. Sliding windows are made of aluminum profiles that allow the use of different types of glass. Balcony frame enclosures are systems that provide good wind insulation and protection from rain but do not lack the ability to ensure ventilation to the balcony. Frameless systems The product range includes frameless enclosures which are modern systems based on aluminum enclosures and tempered glass. Tempered glass is highly resistant to weather conditions and does not pose a danger to passers-by when broken. The frameless design allows the windows to be arranged in a way that they form a completely invisible and uniform plane. On the other hand, on warm and sunny days it allows all the glass panels to be folded into a single unit, facilitating the free flow of air. The maximum height of the window is the same as in the case of frame systems.
