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.

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.

Background data
For life cycle modeling of the considered products, the GaBi 6 Software System for Life Cycle Engineering, developed by
thinkstep, 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.

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 2015. Where data was incomplete, annual 2014 data was used and
was deemed representative for the product.

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