According to EN 15804 and ISO 14025
Dual Recognition by UL Environment and Institut Bauen und Umwelt e.V.

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.

Estimates and assumptions

In the End-of-Life phase a scenario with collection rate
of 100% for all the recyclable materials was assumed.
3.4
Cut-off criteria
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.
3.5
Background data
For life cycle modeling of the considered products, the
GaBi 6 Software System for Life Cycle Engineering,
developed by PE INTERNATIONAL AG, is used /GaBi
6 2013/. The GaBi-database contains consistent and
documented datasets which are documented in the
online
GaBi-documentation /GaBi 6 2013D/.
To ensure comparability of results in the LCA, the
basic data of GaBi database were used for energy,
transportation and auxiliary materials.
3.6
Data quality
The requirements for data quality and background data
correspond to the specifications of the /IBU PCR PART
A/.
PE INTERNATIONAL performed a variety of tests and
checks during the entire project to ensure high quality
of the completed project. This obviously includes an
extensive review of project-specific LCA models as
well as the background data used.
The technological background of the collected data
reflects the physical reality of the declared products.
The datasets are complete and conform to the system
boundaries and the criteria for the exclusion of inputs
and outputs.
All relevant background datasets are taken from the
GaBi 6 software database. The last revision of the
used background data has taken place not longer than
10 years ago.
3.7
Period under review
The period under review is 2013/14 (12 month
average).
3.8
Allocation
Regarding incineration, the software model for the
waste incineration plant (WIP) is adapted according to
the material composition and heating value of the
combusted material. In this EPD the following specific
life cycle inventories for the WIP are considered:
• Waste incineration of plastic
• Waste incineration of paper
• Waste incineration of wood
• Waste incineration of electronic wastes.
Regarding the recycling material of metals, the metal
parts in the EoL are declared as end-of-waste status.
Thus, these materials are considered in module D.
Specific information on allocation within the
background data is given in the GaBi dataset
documentation.
3.9
Comparability
Basically, a comparison or an evaluation of EPD data
is only possible if all the data sets to be compared
were created according to /EN 15804/ and the building

6. LCA: Interpretation
This chapter contains an interpretation of the Life
Cycle Impact Assessment categories. Stated
percentages in the whole interpretation are related
to the overall life cycle, excluding credits (module
D).
The production phase (modules A1-A3) contributes
between 23% and 78% to the overall results for all
the environmental impact assessment categories
hereby considered, except for the abiotic depletion
potential (ADPE), for which the contribution from the
production phase accounts for app. 99% - this
impact category describes the reduction of the
global amount of non-renewable raw materials,
therefore, as expected, it is mainly related with the
extraction of raw materials (A1). Within the
production phase, the main contribution for all the
impact categories is the production of steel, with
app. 90%, mainly due to the energy consumption on
this process. Steel accounts with app. 55% to the
overall mass of the product, therefore, the impacts

are in line with the mass composition of the product.
The environmental impacts for the transport (A2)
have a negligible impact within this stage.
To reflect the use phase (module B6), the energy
consumption was included and it has a major
contribution for all the impact assessment
categories considered - between 21% and 76%,
with the exception of ADPE (1%). This is a result of
2 hours of operation in on mode and 22 hours of
operation in stand-by mode per day per 365 days in
a year.
In the end-of-life phase, there are loads and benefits
(module D, negative values) considered. The
benefits are considered beyond the system
boundaries and are declared for the recycling
potential of the metals and for the credits from the
incineration process (energy substitution).
