Losses during production are considered as waste and are sent for recycling. No recycling processes are taken into account except transport and electricity consumption for grinding the metals. When recycled metals are used as raw material only their transformation process is taken into account and not the extraction of the raw material. A4 module represents the transport of the finished electromechanical building hardware or swing door operator to the installation site. There is no waste associated with the installation of the product. The A5 module therefore represents only the disposal of the product packaging. Two alternatives are declared for the power supply: • B6_1: replacement of the battery every … years (for battery-powered devices) • B6_2: energy consumption from the grid (for gridconnected devices) The End-of-Life (EoL) stages are also considered. The transportation to the EoL disposal site is taken into account in module C2. Module C4 covers the disposal of the electromechanical building hardware or swing door operator. Module C3 covers the recycling of the individual elements according to European averages, with the remaining waste divided between incineration and landfill. Such a mixed scenario is declared due to the complex material mix of the product and the dependency of the EoL-route on the EoL-route of the product the electromechanical building hardware or swing door operator has been integrated into. In practice, the end of life has been modelled as follows: • when a material is sent for recycling, generic transport and electric consumption of a shredder is taken into account (corresponding to the process 'Grinding, metals'). Only then, is the material considered to have attained the 'end of waste' state. • each type of waste is modelled as a transport to the treatment site with a distance of 30 km. Parts sent for recycling include electricity consumption (grinding) and a flow ('Materials for recycling, unspecified'). … Estimates and assumptions The LCA data of the declared product had been calculated by the production data from one ARGE member company. This company had been chosen by ARGE as being representative by means of its production processes and its market share. The product is chosen to be as representative as possible. In addition, data were used from another manufacturer to consider battery-powered devices in order to complete the LCA results. … Cut-off criteria The cut-off criteria considered are 1% of renewable and nonrenewable primary energy usage and 1% of the total mass of that unit process. The total neglected input flows per module amount to a maximum of 5% of energy usage and mass. For this study, all input and output flows have been considered at 100%, including raw materials as per the product composition provided by the manufacturer and packaging of raw materials as well as the final product. Energy and water consumptions have also been considered at 100% according to the data provided. With the approach chosen, no significant environmental impacts are known to have been cut off. … Background data For life cycle modelling of the considered product, all relevant background datasets are taken from ecoinvent v3.8 (system model: cut-off by classification). … Data quality The objective of this evaluation is to evaluate the environmental impacts generated by the products throughout their entire life cycles. To this end, ISO 14040, ISO 14044 and EN 15804 have been met regarding the quality of data on the following different criteria: Time: The life cycle inventory data used come from: • Data collected specifically for this study on the ARGE member company's manufacturing site. Datasets are based on 1-year averaged data (time period: January 2013 to December 2013 considered representative for 2022). • In the absence of collected data, generic data from the ecoinvent v3.8 database have been used. This is updated regularly and is representative of current processes (the entire database having been updated in 2021). Geography: Data come from the production site of the ARGE member company. Generic data come from the ecoinvent database, representative for European production processes. Technology: Material shaping technologies are based on European technology in the case of use of generic data. Several products of this product group have been assessed in separate LCAs; from these LCA the worst values per indicator and module are declared as worst-case assumption. … Period under review The data of the LCA is based on the annual production data of an ARGE member from 2013, considered also representative for the year 2022. … Geographic Representativeness Land or region, in which the declared product system is manufactured, used or handled at the end of the product´s lifespan: Europe … Allocation The products covered by this EPD are produced in numerous sites. The product assessed for the calculation of this EPD is produced by one manufacturer on its own site. All data were provided by this manufacturer of the product per unit, and then divided by the mass of the product to give a value per kg of product produced. In addition, a battery-powered device was considered to complete the evaluation. The data were provided by another manufacturer. The assumptions relating to the EoL of the product are described in the section System Boundaries. … 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 context, respectively the product-specific characteristics of performance, are taken into account. ecoinvent v3.8 (system model: cut-off by classification) has been used as the background database.

According to EN 16710, clause … . … : 'In module D substitution effects are calculated only for the resulting net output flow. For building hardware, the following rules apply for the quantification of net output flows: - all production scrap and cuttings leave modules A1-B3 as sorted scrap without allocated burdens from primary production; the corresponding amounts are declared as material for recycling (MFR); - net amounts of a metal leaving the product system are quantified as the material for recycling leaving modules A1-C4 minus the input of secondary scrap (secondary material, SM) to the product system; - in the case of brass and zinc alloys, which are composed of two different constituting metals, no difference shall be made between the input of secondary constituting metals (Cu and Zn; Cu and Sn) and its alloys (CuZn; CuSn). Negative net output flows have been considered in the quantification of module D. It also includes the benefits and loads related to 'exported energy electricity' and 'exported energy heat' resulting from the energy recovery from plastic wastes in a municipal waste incineration plant as modelled in Modules A3, A5 and C4.

Losses during production are considered as waste and are sent for recycling. No recycling processes are taken into account except for transport and electricity consumption for grinding the metals. When recycled metals are used as raw material only their transformation process is taken into account and not the extraction of the raw material. A4 module represents the transport of the finished locks to the installation site. … of use and environmental conditions. It is required that installation as well as maintenance of the product are done in line with instructions provided by the manufacturer. … Extraordinary effects Fire Certain products are suitable for use on fire resisting and/or smoke control door/window sets according to one of the classes A,B,N in EN 12209. Water The declared product is intended to be used in a building under normal conditions (indoor and outdoor use). It shall not emit hazardous substances in the event of flooding. Mechanical destruction Mechanical destruction of the declared product shall not materially alter its composition or have any adverse effect on the environment. … Re-use phase Removal of locks (for re-use or recycling) shall have no adverse effect on the environment. … Disposal Locks should be recycled wherever possible, providing that there is no adverse effect on the environment. The waste code in accordance with the European Waste Code is 17 04 07. … Further information Details of all types and variants can be found on the manufacturers' websites. The respective website addresses are available at https://arge.org. There is no waste associated with the installation of the product. The A5 module therefore represents only the disposal of the product packaging. The End-of-Life (EoL) stages are also considered. The transportation to the EoL disposal site is taken into account in module C2. Module C4 covers the disposal of the locks. Module C3 covers the recycling of the individual elements according to European averages, with the remaining waste divided between incineration and landfill. Such a mixed scenario is declared due to the complex material mix of the product and the dependency of the EoL-route on the EoL route of the product the lock has been integrated into. In practice, the end of life has been modelled as follows: • when a material is sent for recycling, generic transport and electric consumption of a shredder is taken into account (corresponding to the process 'Grinding, metals'). Only then, is the material considered to have attained the 'end-of-waste' state. • each type of waste is modelled as a transport to the treatment site with a distance of 30 km. Parts sent for recycling include electricity consumption (grinding) and a flow ('Materials for recycling, unspecified'). … Estimates and assumptions The LCA data of the declared lock have been calculated using the production data of … ARGE member companies. These companies have been chosen by ARGE as being representative of their production processes and their market shares. The lock chosen as representative for this calculation follows the "worst-case" principle as explained under 6. LCA interpretation. Environmental Product Declaration - ARGE – The European Federation of Locks and Building Hardware Manufacturers - Locks … Cut-off criteria The cut-off criteria considered are 1% of renewable and nonrenewable primary energy usage and 1% of the total mass of that unit process. The total neglected input flows per module amount to a maximum of 5% of energy usage and mass. For this study, all input and output flows have been considered at 100%, including raw materials as per the product composition provided by the manufacturer and packaging of raw materials as well as the final product. Energy and water consumptions have also been considered at 100% according to the data provided. With the approach chosen, no significant environmental impacts are known to have been cut off. … Background data For the life cycle modelling of the considered product, all relevant background datasets are taken from ecoinvent v3.8 (system model: cut-off by classification). … Data quality The objective of this evaluation is to evaluate the environmental impacts generated by the products throughout their entire life cycles. To this end, ISO 14040, ISO 14044 and EN 15804 have been met regarding the quality of data on the following different criteria: Time: The life cycle inventory data used come from: • Data collected specifically for this study on the ARGE member companies' manufacturing sites. Datasets are based on 1-year averaged data (time period: January 2013 to December 2013 considered representative for 2022). • In the absence of collected data, generic data from the ecoinvent v3.8 database have been used. This is updated regularly and is representative of current processes (the entire database having been updated in 2021). Geography: Data come from production sites of the ARGE member companies. Generic data come from the ecoinvent database, representative for European production processes. Technology: Material shaping technologies are based on European technology in the case of the use of generic data. A total of … typical products (based on sales figures) have been evaluated, and the worst-case results are used in the tables. … Period under review The data of the LCA is based on the annual production data of an ARGE member from 2013, considered representative for the year 2022. … Geographic Representativeness Land or region, in which the declared product system is manufactured, used or handled at the end of the product´s lifespan: Europe … Allocation The products are produced in numerous production sites.

LCA: Interpretation … Environmental Product Declaration - ARGE – The European Federation of Locks and Building Hardware Manufacturers - Locks The following figure illustrates the relative contributions of the different modules along the life cycle of the declared products: Figure 1: Environmental impacts of locks along its life cycle (impacts from production modules A1-A3 = 100 %) Benefits and burdens beyond the system boundary (module D) are in the order of 15 % to 30 % of the impacts over the product life cycle (modules A1-A3) and relate basically to the recycling of metals. The largest part of environmental impacts is caused during production (modules A1-A3); comparably small impacts are caused during the transport of the product to the construction site (via the manufacturer of the product, which the lock has been integrated into). All the other modules related to the product life cycle are not significant. A total of … typical products (based on sales figures) have been evaluated and the worst-case results are used in section … of this EPD.

Losses during production are considered as waste and are sent for recycling. No recycling processes are taken into account except transport and electricity consumption for grinding the metals. When recycled metals are used as raw material only their transformation process is taken into account and not the extraction of the raw material. A4 module represents the transport of the finished electromechanical building hardware or swing door operator to the installation site. There is no waste associated with the installation of the product. The A5 module therefore represents only the disposal of the product packaging. Two alternatives are declared for the power supply: • B6_1: replacement of the battery every … years (for battery-powered devices) • B6_2: energy consumption from the grid (for gridconnected devices) The End-of-Life (EoL) stages are also considered. The transportation to the EoL disposal site is taken into account in module C2. Module C4 covers the disposal of the electromechanical building hardware or swing door operator. Module C3 covers the recycling of the individual elements according to European averages, with the remaining waste divided between incineration and landfill. Such a mixed scenario is declared due to the complex material mix of the product and the dependency of the EoL-route on the EoL-route of the product the electromechanical building hardware or swing door operator has been integrated into. In practice, the end of life has been modelled as follows: • when a material is sent for recycling, generic transport and electric consumption of a shredder is taken into account (corresponding to the process 'Grinding, metals'). Only then, is the material considered to have attained the 'end of waste' state. • each type of waste is modelled as a transport to the treatment site with a distance of 30 km. Parts sent for recycling include electricity consumption (grinding) and a flow ('Materials for recycling, unspecified'). … Estimates and assumptions The LCA data of the declared product had been calculated by the production data from one ARGE member company. This company had been chosen by ARGE as being representative by means of its production processes and its market share. The product is chosen to be as representative as possible. In addition, data were used from another manufacturer to consider battery-powered devices in order to complete the LCA results. … Cut-off criteria The cut-off criteria considered are 1% of renewable and nonrenewable primary energy usage and 1% of the total mass of that unit process. The total neglected input flows per module amount to a maximum of 5% of energy usage and mass. For this study, all input and output flows have been considered at 100%, including raw materials as per the product composition provided by the manufacturer and packaging of raw materials as well as the final product. Energy and water consumptions have also been considered at 100% according to the data provided. With the approach chosen, no significant environmental impacts are known to have been cut off. … Background data For life cycle modelling of the considered product, all relevant background datasets are taken from ecoinvent v3.8 (system model: cut-off by classification). … Data quality The objective of this evaluation is to evaluate the environmental impacts generated by the products throughout their entire life cycles. To this end, ISO 14040, ISO 14044 and EN 15804 have been met regarding the quality of data on the following different criteria: Time: The life cycle inventory data used come from: • Data collected specifically for this study on the ARGE member company's manufacturing site. Datasets are based on 1-year averaged data (time period: January 2013 to December 2013 considered representative for 2022). • In the absence of collected data, generic data from the ecoinvent v3.8 database have been used. This is updated regularly and is representative of current processes (the entire database having been updated in 2021). Geography: Data come from the production site of the ARGE member company. Generic data come from the ecoinvent database, representative for European production processes. Technology: Material shaping technologies are based on European technology in the case of use of generic data. Several products of this product group have been assessed in separate LCAs; from these LCA the worst values per indicator and module are declared as worst-case assumption. … Period under review The data of the LCA is based on the annual production data of an ARGE member from 2013, considered also representative for the year 2022. … Geographic Representativeness Land or region, in which the declared product system is manufactured, used or handled at the end of the product´s lifespan: Europe … Allocation The products covered by this EPD are produced in numerous sites. The product assessed for the calculation of this EPD is produced by one manufacturer on its own site. All data were provided by this manufacturer of the product per unit, and then divided by the mass of the product to give a value per kg of product produced. In addition, a battery-powered device was considered to complete the evaluation. The data were provided by another manufacturer. The assumptions relating to the EoL of the product are described in the section System Boundaries. … 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 context, respectively the product-specific characteristics of performance, are taken into account. ecoinvent v3.8 (system model: cut-off by classification) has been used as the background database.

With the exception of the ADP elements, the production (modules A1-A3) of the electromechanical building hardware and swing door operators has negligible impacts. All the other modules related to the product life cycle and module D are not significant. Environmental Product Declaration - ARGE – The European Federation of Locks and Building Hardware Manufacturers - Electromechanical building hardware and swing door operators Figure … illustrates the relative contributions of the different modules along the life cycle of the battery-powered products. Figure 2: Environmental impacts of battery-powered electromechanical building hardware along its life cycle The largest part of environmental impacts is caused during production (modules A1-A3); comparably small impacts are caused during the transport of the product to the construction site (via the manufacturer of the product, which the electromechanical hardware has been integrated into). All the other modules related to the product life cycle are not significant. Benefits and burdens beyond the system boundary (module D) are in the order of +5 % to +15 % hence resulting in net burdens due to a negative net flow of recycled materials over the product life cycle. Several typical products (based on sales figures) have been evaluated and the worst-case results are used in section … of this EPD. In chapter … , the tabulated range of relative weight per material ensures that the variability of results stays within +/- 40% of the declared values (assessed for the indicators GWP, PENRT, and non-hazardous waste). 7.

Losses during production are considered as waste and are sent for recycling. No recycling processes are taken into account except transport and electricity consumption for grinding the metals. When recycled metals are used as raw material only their transformation process is taken into account and not the extraction of the raw material. A4 module represents the transport of the finished electromechanical building hardware or swing door operator to the installation site. There is no waste associated with the installation of the product. The A5 module therefore represents only the disposal of the product packaging. Two alternatives are declared for the power supply: • B6_1: replacement of the battery every … years (for battery-powered devices) • B6_2: energy consumption from the grid (for gridconnected devices) The End-of-Life (EoL) stages are also considered. The transportation to the EoL disposal site is taken into account in module C2. Module C4 covers the disposal of the electromechanical building hardware or swing door operator. Module C3 covers the recycling of the individual elements according to European averages, with the remaining waste divided between incineration and landfill. Such a mixed scenario is declared due to the complex material mix of the product and the dependency of the EoL-route on the EoL-route of the product the electromechanical building hardware or swing door operator has been integrated into. In practice, the end of life has been modelled as follows: • when a material is sent for recycling, generic transport and electric consumption of a shredder is taken into account (corresponding to the process 'Grinding, metals'). Only then, is the material considered to have attained the 'end of waste' state. • each type of waste is modelled as a transport to the treatment site with a distance of 30 km. Parts sent for recycling include electricity consumption (grinding) and a flow ('Materials for recycling, unspecified'). … Estimates and assumptions The LCA data of the declared product had been calculated by the production data from one ARGE member company. This company had been chosen by ARGE as being representative by means of its production processes and its market share. The product is chosen to be as representative as possible. In addition, data were used from another manufacturer to consider battery-powered devices in order to complete the LCA results. … Cut-off criteria The cut-off criteria considered are 1% of renewable and nonrenewable primary energy usage and 1% of the total mass of that unit process. The total neglected input flows per module amount to a maximum of 5% of energy usage and mass. For this study, all input and output flows have been considered at 100%, including raw materials as per the product composition provided by the manufacturer and packaging of raw materials as well as the final product. Energy and water consumptions have also been considered at 100% according to the data provided. With the approach chosen, no significant environmental impacts are known to have been cut off. … Background data For life cycle modelling of the considered product, all relevant background datasets are taken from ecoinvent v3.8 (system model: cut-off by classification). … Data quality The objective of this evaluation is to evaluate the environmental impacts generated by the products throughout their entire life cycles. To this end, ISO 14040, ISO 14044 and EN 15804 have been met regarding the quality of data on the following different criteria: Time: The life cycle inventory data used come from: • Data collected specifically for this study on the ARGE member company's manufacturing site. Datasets are based on 1-year averaged data (time period: January 2013 to December 2013 considered representative for 2022). • In the absence of collected data, generic data from the ecoinvent v3.8 database have been used. This is updated regularly and is representative of current processes (the entire database having been updated in 2021). Geography: Data come from the production site of the ARGE member company. Generic data come from the ecoinvent database, representative for European production processes. Technology: Material shaping technologies are based on European technology in the case of use of generic data. Several products of this product group have been assessed in separate LCAs; from these LCA the worst values per indicator and module are declared as worst-case assumption. … Period under review The data of the LCA is based on the annual production data of an ARGE member from 2013, considered also representative for the year 2022. … Geographic Representativeness Land or region, in which the declared product system is manufactured, used or handled at the end of the product´s lifespan: Europe … Allocation The products covered by this EPD are produced in numerous sites. The product assessed for the calculation of this EPD is produced by one manufacturer on its own site. All data were provided by this manufacturer of the product per unit, and then divided by the mass of the product to give a value per kg of product produced. In addition, a battery-powered device was considered to complete the evaluation. The data were provided by another manufacturer. The assumptions relating to the EoL of the product are described in the section System Boundaries. … 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 context, respectively the product-specific characteristics of performance, are taken into account. ecoinvent v3.8 (system model: cut-off by classification) has been used as the background database.

According to EN 16710, clause … . … : 'In module D substitution effects are calculated only for the resulting net output flow. For building hardware, the following rules apply for the quantification of net output flows: - all production scrap and cuttings leave modules A1-B3 as sorted scrap without allocated burdens from primary production; the corresponding amounts are declared as material for recycling (MFR); - net amounts of a metal leaving the product system are quantified as the material for recycling leaving modules A1-C4 minus the input of secondary scrap (secondary material, SM) to the product system; - in the case of brass and zinc alloys, which are composed of two different constituting metals, no difference shall be made between the input of secondary constituting metals (Cu and Zn; Cu and Sn) and its alloys (CuZn; CuSn). Negative net output flows have been considered in the quantification of module D. It also includes the benefits and loads related to 'exported energy electricity' and 'exported energy heat' resulting from the energy recovery from plastic wastes in a municipal waste incineration plant as modelled in Modules A3, A5 and C4.

LCA: Interpretation The following interpretation is based on the LCA scores of one of the assessed products, whereas two types of power supply have been analysed. Figure … illustrates the relative contributions of the different Figure 1: Environmental impacts of electromechanical building hardware and swing door operators with external power supply along their life cycle By far the largest part of environmental impact is caused by the … modules along the life cycle of the declared products, assuming power supply from the grid. electricity from the grid during standby. With the exception of the ADP elements, the production (modules A1-A3) of the electromechanical building hardware and swing door operators has negligible impacts. All the other modules related to the product life cycle and module D are not significant. Environmental Product Declaration - ARGE – The European Federation of Locks and Building Hardware Manufacturers - Electromechanical building hardware and swing door operators Figure … illustrates the relative contributions of the different modules along the life cycle of the battery-powered products. Figure 2: Environmental impacts of battery-powered electromechanical building hardware along its life cycle The largest part of environmental impacts is caused during production (modules A1-A3); comparably small impacts are caused during the transport of the product to the construction site (via the manufacturer of the product, which the electromechanical hardware has been integrated into). All the other modules related to the product life cycle are not significant. Benefits and burdens beyond the system boundary (module D) are in the order of +5 % to +15 % hence resulting in net burdens due to a negative net flow of recycled materials over the product life cycle. Several typical products (based on sales figures) have been evaluated and the worst-case results are used in section … of this EPD. In chapter … , the tabulated range of relative weight per material ensures that the variability of results stays within +/- 40% of the declared values (assessed for the indicators GWP, PENRT, and non-hazardous waste). 7.

Correction factor Name Value Declared unit mass Mass of declared product Correction factor … kg … Kg Divide by … Unit … System boundary This type of EPD covers “cradle-to-grave" requirements. The analysis of the product life cycle includes the production and transport of the raw materials, manufacture of the product and the packaging materials, which are declared in modules A1-A3. Losses during production are considered as waste and are sent for recycling. No recycling processes are taken into account except transport and an electricity consumption for grinding the metals. When recycled metals are used as raw material, only their transformation process is taken into account and not the extraction of the raw material. A4 module represents the transport of the finished product to the installation site. There is no waste associated with the installation of the product. The A5 module therefore represents only the disposal of the product packaging. For the RSL considered for this study, there are no inputs or outputs for the stages B1-B7. The End-of-Life (EoL) stages are also considered. The transportation to the EoL disposal site is taken into account in module C2. Module C4 covers the disposal of the glass door gear. Module C3 covers the recycling of the individual elements according to European averages, with the remaining waste divided between incineration and landfill. The same assumption as for waste to recycling in A3 is used here. For end-of-life modules (C1 to C4) the system boundaries from the XP P01-064/CN standard have been followed, see annex H.2 and H.6 of this document for figures and further details. In practice, the end-of-life has been modelled as follows: - When a material is sent to recycling generic transport and electric consumption of a shredder is taken into account (corresponding to the process “Grinding, metals”). Only then is the material considered to have attained the “end-of-waste” state. - Each type of waste is modelled as transport to the treatment site over a distance of 30 km (source: FD P01-015). Parts sent for recycling include an electricity consumption (grinding) and a flow (“Materials for recycling, unspecified”). Four scenarios for the end-of-life of the products have been declared for this EPD: 1. 100% of the product going to landfill 2. 100% of the product going to incineration 3. 100% of the product going to recycling 4. Mixed scenario consisting of the previous three scenarios, with values depending on the amount of waste going for recycling. Module D has not been declared. … Estimates and assumptions The LCA data of the declared product has been calculated from the production data of one ARGE member company. This company had been chosen by ARGE as being representative by virtue of its production processes and market share. The chosen product follows the "worst-case" principle as explained in Section … - LCA interpretation . … Cut-off criteria The cut -off criteria considered are 1% of renewable and non-renewable primary energy usage and 1% of the total mass of that unit process. The total neglected input flows per module shall be at a maximum of 5% of energy usage and mass. For this study, all input and output flows have been considered at 100%, including raw materials as per the product composition provided by the manufacturer and packaging of raw materials as well as the final product. Energy and water consumption have also been considered at 100% according to the data provided. With the approach chosen, no significant environmental impacts are known to have been cut-off. … Background data For life cycle modelling of the considered product, all relevant background datasets are taken from the ecoinvent … – Alloc Rec database. The life cycle analysis software used is SimaPro (V8. … ), developed by PRé Consulting. … Data quality The time factor, the life cycle inventory data used comes from: Data collected specifically for this study on the ARGE manufacturer’s site. Data sets are based on 1- year averaged data (time period: January 2013 to December 2013). In the absence of collected data, generic data from the ecoinvent V3 database was used. It is updated regularly and is representative of current processes (the entire database having been updated in 2014). … Period under review The LCA data is based on the annual production data of an ARGE member company from 2013. Other values, e.g. for the processing of the base materials, are taken from the ecoinvent v3.1 Alloc Rec where the dataset age varies for each dataset, see ecoinvent documentation for more information. … Allocation The product assessed for the calculation of this EPD is produced by one manufacturer on one site. All data was provided by this manufacturer of the products by unit, and then divided by the mass of the product to give a value per kg of product produced The assumptions relating to the EoL of the product are described in the section System Boundaries. … Comparability Basically, a comparison or an evaluation of EPD data is only possible if all the data sets to be compared are created according to /EN 15804/ and the building context, respectively the product-specific characteristics of performance, are taken into account.

LCA: Interpretation This chapter contains an interpretation of the Life Cycle Impact Assessment categories. When expressed as a percentage, the impact refers to its magnitude expressed as a percentage of total product impact across all modules, with the exception of module D. The majority of the product’s impacts are due to the extraction and supply of raw materials (A1). The manufacturing stage (A3) represents a significant percentage of the impacts, as does the transportation of the finished product (A4), especially for the indicator concerning ozone depletion. 7.

LCA: Calculation rules … Declared Unit The declared unit for all products covered by ARGE EPD is … kg (of product). Since individual products will rarely weigh exactly … kg it is necessary to establish the exact weight of the product and then use this as a correction factor to determine the true values for … kg of product in the tables (Section 5). Declared unit Name Declared unit Mass of declared product Raw density Value … Unit kg kg kg/m3 … System boundary Type of the EPD: "cradle to gate with options, with modules C1 – C4, and module D (A1-A3, C1-C3, D and additional modules)" The analysis of the product life cycle includes the production and transport of the raw materials, the manufacture of the product and the packaging materials which are declared in modules A1-A3. Losses during production are considered as waste and are sent for recycling. No recycling processes are taken into account except for transport and electricity consumption for grinding the metals. When recycled metals are used as raw material only their transformation process is taken into account and not the extraction of the raw material. A4 module represents the transport of the finished glass door gear to the installation site. There is no waste associated with the installation of the product. The A5 module therefore represents only the disposal of the product packaging. The End-of-Life (EoL) stages are also considered. The transportation to the EoL disposal site is taken into account in module C2. Module C4 covers the disposal of the locks. Module C3 covers the recycling of the individual elements … Fire There are no specific fire resistance requirements. Water The declared product is intended to be used in buildings under normal conditions (indoor or outdoor use). It shall not emit hazardous substances in the event of flooding. Mechanical destruction Mechanical destruction of the declared product shall not materially alter its composition or have any adverse effect on the environment. … Re-use phase Removal of glass door hardware (for re-use or recycling) shall have no adverse effect on the environment. … Disposal Glass door hardware should be re-cycled wherever possible, providing that there is no adverse effect on the environment. The waste code in accordance with the European Waste Code is 17 04 07. … Further information Details of all types and variants can be found on the manufacturers' websites. The respective website addresses are available at https://arge.org. according to European averages, with the remaining waste divided between incineration and landfill. Such a mixed scenario is declared due to the complex material mix of the product and the dependency of the EoL-route on the EoL-route of the product the glass door hardware has been integrated into. In practice, the end of life has been modelled as follows: • when a material is sent for recycling, generic transport and electric consumption of a shredder is taken into account (corresponding to the process 'Grinding, metals'). Only then, is the material considered to have attained the 'end-of-waste' state. • each type of waste is modelled as a transport to the treatment site with a distance of 30 km. Parts sent for recycling include electricity consumption (grinding) and a flow ('Materials for recycling, unspecified'). … Estimates and assumptions The LCA data of the declared product had been calculated from the production data of one ARGE member company. This company had been chosen by ARGE as being representative by virtue of its production processes and market share. The chosen product follows the "worst-case" principle as explained in Section … - LCA interpretation. … Cut-off criteria The cut-off criteria considered are 1% of renewable and nonrenewable primary energy usage and 1% of the total mass of that unit process. The total neglected input flows per module shall be at a maximum of 5% of energy usage and mass. For this study, all input and output flows have been considered at 100%, including raw materials as per the product composition provided by the manufacturer and packaging of raw materials as well as the final product. Energy and water consumption have also been considered at 100% according to the data provided. With the approach chosen, no significant environmental Environmental Product Declaration - ARGE – The European Federation of Locks and Building Hardware Manufacturers - Glass door hardware In this EPD, a representative product has been selected to represent the product group, considering the most common material types of the products covered in this product group. impacts are known to have been cut off. … Background data For the life cycle modelling of the considered product, all relevant background datasets are taken from ecoinvent v3.8 (system model: cut-off by classification). … Data quality The objective of this evaluation is to evaluate the environmental impacts generated by the products throughout their entire life cycles. To this end, ISO 14040, ISO 14044 and EN 15804 have been met regarding the quality of data on the following different criteria: Time: The life cycle inventory data used come from: • Data collected specifically for this study on the ARGE member company's manufacturing site. Datasets are based on 1-year averaged data (time period: January 2013 to December 2013 considered representative for 2022). • In the absence of collected data, generic data from the ecoinvent v3.8 database have been used. This is updated regularly and is representative of current processes (the entire database having been updated in 2021). Geography: Data on the composition of products, process technologies, wastage, etc. come from production site of the ARGE member company. Generic data on processing processes come from the ecoinvent database, representative for European production processes.

LCA: Interpretation … Environmental Product Declaration - ARGE – The European Federation of Locks and Building Hardware Manufacturers - Glass door hardware Figure … illustrates the relative contributions of the different Figure 1: Environmental impacts of glass door hardware along its life cycle The largest part of environmental impacts is caused during production (modules A1-A3); comparably small impacts are caused during the transport of the product to the construction site (via the manufacturer of the product, which the glass door gear has been integrated into). All the other modules related to the product life cycle are not significant. Benefits and burdens beyond the system boundary (module D) modules along the life cycle of the declared products. are in the order of 25 % to 30 % of the impacts over the product life cycle (modules A1-A3) and relate basically to the recycling of metals; module. Only for ADP elements, the negative net amount of zinc leaving the product system leads to additional burdens in module D from the compensation of material losses with primary production of zinc. In this EPD, a representative product has been selected to represent the product group, considering the most common materialisation of the products covered in this product group. This has been done based on the knowledge of ARGE members on the composition of the declared products. In indepth analysis of variability has not been conducted for this product group. 7.

National provisions however (e.g. Building Regulations) may still apply. … Delivery status The products are sold by unit. Deliveries of a single unit might be possible but will be an exception. Regular deliveries will cover a larger amount of sliding door gear as they are put on the market as "B2B" product and not for a single customer. … Base materials / Ancillary materials Composition of product analysed for this EPD: The values given are for the product analysed for this EPD. Ranges of the values for other products covered by the validity scope analysis are given in brackets. Name Value Unit Aluminium ( … % – … %) Nylon ( … % – … %) Steel ( … % – … %) … % % % The product does not contain substances cited on the REACH list of hazardous substances. Aluminium is a non-ferrous metal produced from bauxite by the Bayer process. Aluminium components are made by extrusion. Nylon is a polyamide produced by ring-opening polymerization of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid in equal parts. This can then be combined with glass fibres to improve its mechanical properties. Subcomponents made of nylon are formed by injection moulding. Steel is produced by combining iron with carbon as well as other elements depending on the desired characteristics. Steel components are made by pressing and/or forming. … Manufacture The production of a sliding door gear normally follows a … step procedure: 1. Preparation of semi-finished components, this step might include a surface treatment on factory site or by external manufacturers. 2. Preassembly of assembly modules (onsite factory) 3. Final assembly (onsite factory) … Environment and health during manufacturing Regular measurements of air quality and noise levels are performed by ARGE member manufacturers. Resulting levels shall be within compulsory safety limits. In areas where employees are exposed to chemical products, prescribed safety clothes and technical safety devices shall be provided. Regular health checks are mandatory for employees of production sites. … Product processing/Installation The installation of the product could vary depending on the type of door and the specific situation but products shall not require energy consumption for installation. … Packaging Normally each single product is packaged in paper. The products are then packed by product batch in a paperboard box and then stacked on wooden pallets for transport to the customer (Door or window fabricant). Waste from product packaging is collected separately for waste disposal including recycling. … Condition of use Once installed, the products shall require no servicing during their expected service lives. There shall be no consumption of water or energy linked to their use, and they shall not cause any emissions. … Environment and health during use No environmental damage or health risks are to be expected during normal conditions of use. … Reference service life The Reference Service Life is 30 years under normal working conditions. This corresponds to passing a mechanical endurance test of … cycles as specified in the /EN 1527/. The Reference Service Life is dependent on the actual frequency of use and environmental conditions. It is required that installation, as well as maintenance of the product, must be done in line with instructions provided by the manufacturer. … Extraordinary effects Fire There are no specific fire resistance requirements Water The declared product is intended to be used in a building under normal conditions (indoor or outdoor use) It shall not emit hazardous substances in the event of flooding.

The waste code in accordance with the /European Waste Code/ is 17 04 07. … Further information Details of all types and variants to be shown on the manufacturers’ websites listed on http://arge.org/members/members-directory.htm 3. LCA: Calculation rules … Environmental Product Declaration ARGE – Sliding door gear … Declared Unit The declared unit for all products covered by ARGE EPD is … kg (of product). Since individual products will rarely weigh exactly … kg it is necessary to establish the exact weight of the product then use this as a correction factor to determine the true values for … kg of product in the tables (Section 5). A total of six typical products (based on sales figures) have been evaluated, and the worst case results are used in the tables. Correction factor Name Value Declared unit mass Mass of declared product Correction factor … kg … Kg Divide by … Unit … System boundary The type of the EPD covers “cradle to grave” requirements. The analysis of the product life cycle includes the production and transport of the raw materials, manufacture of the product and the packaging materials, which are declared in modules A1-A3. Losses during production are considered as waste and are sent for recycling. No recycling processes are taken into account except transport and electricity consumption for grinding the metals. When recycled metals are used as raw material, only their transformation process is taken into account and not the extraction of the raw material. A4 module represents the transport of the finished product to the installation site. There is no waste associated with the installation of the product. The A5 module therefore represents only the disposal of the product packaging. For the RSL considered for this study, there are no inputs or outputs for the stages B1-B7. The End-of-Life (EoL) stages are also considered. The transportation to the EoL disposal site is taken into account in module C2. Module C4 covers the disposal of the sliding door gear. Module C3 covers the recycling of the individual elements according to European averages, with the remaining waste divided between incineration and landfill. The same assumption as for waste to recycling in A3 is used here. For end of life modules (C1 to C4) the system boundaries from the XP P01-064/CN standard have been followed, see annex H.2 and H.6 of this document for figures and further details. In practice, the end of life has been modelled as follows: - When a material is sent for recycling generic transport and electric consumption of a shredder is taken into account (corresponding to the process “Grinding, metals”). Only then, is the material considered to have attained the “end of waste” state. - Each type of waste is modelled as a transport to the treatment site with a distance of 30 km (source: FD P01-015). Parts sent for recycling include an electricity consumption (grinding) and a flow (“Materials for recycling, unspecified”). Four scenarios for the end of life of the products have been declared for this EPD: 1. 100% of the product going in landfill 2. 100% of the product going in incineration … 3. 100% of the product going in recycling 4. Mixed scenario consisting of the previous three scenarios, values depending of the amount of waste going to recycling. Module D has not been declared. … Estimates and assumptions The LCA data of the declared product had been calculated using the production data of an ARGE member company that manufactures … different products. The company had been chosen by ARGE as being representative by virtue of their production processes and market share. The sliding door gear chosen as representative for this calculation follows the "worst case" principle as explained under … LCA interpretation. … Cut-off criteria The cut -off criteria considered are 1% of renewable and non-renewable primary energy usage and 1% of the total mass of that unit process. The total neglected input flows per module shall be a maximum of 5% of energy usage and mass. For this study, all input and output flows have been considered at 100%, including raw materials as per the product composition provided by the manufacturer and packaging of raw materials as well as the final product. Energy and water consumptions have also been considered at 100% according to the data provided. With the approach chosen, no significant environmental impacts are known to have been cut-off. … Background data For life cycle modeling of the considered product, all relevant background datasets are taken from the ecoinvent … – Alloc Rec database. The life cycle analysis software used is SimaPro (V8. … ), developed by PRé Consulting. … Data quality The time factor and life cycle inventory data used comes from: Data collected specifically for this study on the ARGE manufacturer’s site. Data sets are based on 1-year averaged data (time period: January 2013 to December 2013). In the absence of collected data, generic data from the ecoinvent V3 database. This is updated regularly and is representative of current processes (the entire database having been updated in 2014). … Period under review The data of the LCA is based on the annual production data of an ARGE member company from 2013. Other values, e.g. for the processing of the base materials, are taken from the ecoinvent v3.1 Alloc Rec where dataset age varies for each dataset, see ecoinvent documentation for more information. … Allocation The products are produced in one production site. All data was provided by the manufacturer of the products per unit and then divided by the mass of the product to give a value per kg of product produced. The assumptions relating to the EoL of the product are described in the section System Boundaries. … Comparability Basically, a comparison or an evaluation of EPD data is only possible if all the data sets to be compared are Environmental Product Declaration ARGE – Sliding door gear created according to /EN 15804/ and the building context, and the product-specific characteristics of performance, are taken into account. The used background database has to be mentioned. 4.

LCA: Interpretation This chapter contains an interpretation of the Life Cycle Impact Assessment categories. When expressed as a percentage, the impact refers to its magnitude expressed as a percentage of total product impact across all modules, with the exception of module D. The majority of the product’s impacts are due to the extraction and supply of raw materials (A1). The manufacturing stage (A3) represents a significant percentage of the impacts –notably for the depletion of non-fossil abiotic resources due to the zinc coating process and the wasted aluminium - as does the transportation of the finished product (A4), especially for the indicator concerning ozone depletion. The results are conservative as complying with the composition given in section … . 7. Requisite evidence No testing results are required by the PCR part B. 8.
