1 Exclusions: EPDs do not indicate that any environmental or social performance benchmarks are met, and there may be impacts that they do not encompass. LCAs do not typically address the site-specific
environmental impacts of raw material extraction, nor are they meant to assess human health toxicity. EPDs can complement but cannot replace tools and certifications that are designed to address these
impacts and/or set performance thresholds , e.g., Type 1 certifications, health assessments and declarations, environmental impact assessments, etc. Accuracy of Results
: EPDs regularly rely on estimations of
impacts, and the level of accuracy in estimation of effect differs for any particular product line and reported impact. Comparability: EPDs are not comparative assertions and are either not comparable or have
limited comparability when they cover different life cycle stages, are based on different product category rules or are missing relevant environmental impacts. EPDs from different programs may not be
comparable.

According
to
This declaration is an environmental product declaration (EPD) in accordance with ISO 14025. EPDs rely on Life
Cycle Assessment (LCA) to provide information on a number of environmental impacts of products over their life
cycle. Exclusions: EPDs do not indicate that any environmental or social performance benchmarks are met, and
there may be impacts that they do not encompass. LCAs do not typically address the site-specific environmental
impacts of raw material extraction, nor are they meant to assess human health toxicity. EPDs can complement but
cannot replace tools and certifications that are designed to address these impacts and/or set performance
thresholds – e.g. Type 1 certifications, health assessments and declarations, environmental impact assessments,
etc. Accuracy of Results: EPDs regularly rely on estimations of impacts, and the level of accuracy in estimation of
effect differs for any particular product line and reported impact. Comparability: EPDs are not comparative
assertions and are either not comparable or have limited comparability when they cover different life cycle stages,
are based on different product category rules or are missing relevant environmental impacts. EPDs from different
programs may not be comparable.

In the End of Life phase, for all the materials which can be recycled, a recycling scenario with 100% collection rate was
assumed.
Cut-off Criteria

Background data
For life cycle modeling of the considered products, the GaBi 8 Software System for Life Cycle Engineering, developed by
thinkstep, is used GaBi 8. The GaBi-database contains consistent and documented datasets which are documented in the
online GaBi-documentation. To ensure comparability of results in the LCA, the basic data of GaBi database were used for
energy, transportation and auxiliary materials.

MND
In the assessment, all available data from the production process are considered, i.e. all raw materials used, auxiliary
materials (e.g. lubricants), thermal energy consumption and electric power consumption - including material and energy flows
contributing less than 1% of mass or energy (if available). In case a specific flow contributing less than 1% in mass or energy
is not available, worst case assumption proxies are selected to represent the respective environmental impacts. Impacts
relating to the production of machines and facilities required during production are out of the scope of this assessment.

Allocation was determined on a per unit basis.
A comparison or an evaluation of EPD data is only possible if all data sets to be compared were created according to EN
15804 and the building context, respectively the product-specific characteristics of performance, are taken into account.
Environmental delarations from different programs may not be comparable. Full conformance with the PCR for North
American Builders Hardware products allows EPD comparability only when all stages of a Builders Hardware product's life
cycle have been considered. However, variations and deviations are possible.
Comparability
The following technical information is a basis for the declared modules or can be used for developing specific scenarios in the
context of a building assessment if modules are not declared.
Data Quality
The data sources used are complete and representative of North America in terms of the geographic and technological
coverage and are a recent vintage (i.e. less than ten years old). The data used for primary data are based on direct
information sources of the manufacturer. Secondary data sets were used for raw materials extraction and processing, end of
life, transportation, and energy production flows. Wherever secondary data is used, the study adopts critically reviewed data
for consistency, precision, and reproducibility to limit uncertainty.
Period Under Review
The period under review is the full calendar year of 2016.

Output Flows and Waste Categories
The production life cycle stage (A1-A3) dominates the impacts across all impact categories, with the exception of ozone
depletion. This is due to the upstream production of metals used in the product, along with electricity use in the
manufacturing of the product. Potential benefits are due to the potential avoided burden of recycled materials after disposal.
