Name
Protecta FR Damper
Use advice for data set The life cycle analysis is a cradle-to-gate (A1 - A3) study. It includes the extraction and production of raw materials and packaging, transportation to the manufacturing site, as well as the manufacturing process itself. A1: Wooden pallets and plastic wrapping are excluded because the product is shipped in boxes.
Technical purpose of product or process Protecta FR Damper is designed to fire proof ventilation ducts which penetrate fire rated constructions such as fire compartments and fire walls, preventing the passage of fire and smoke. Fire Rated Damper consists of a steel casing and contains horizontal steel blades, treated with a technically advanced heat expanding graphite which closes the damper in a fire. The aperture surrounding the dampers are fire sealed with Protecta fire stopping products. FR Damper can be installed in the fire seal and the ventilation ducting attached, or the damper can be connected to the ducting and then fire sealed. The aperture where the ducts pass through can include one or multiple ventilation ducts. One can also pass through other technical services such as cables, cable trays and pipes within the same aperture.

General comment on data set Data quality: Specific data for the product composition are provided by the manufacturer. The data represent the production of the declared product and were collected for EPD development in the year of study. Background data is based on EPDs according to EN 15804 and different LCA databases. The data quality of the raw materials in A1 is presented in the table below. Allocation: The allocation is made in accordance with the provisions of EN 15804. Incoming energy and water and waste production in-house is allocated equally among all products through mass allocation. Effects of primary production of recycled materials is allocated to the main product in which the material was used. The recycling process and transportation of the material is allocated to this analysis. Cut-off criteria: All major raw materials and all the essential energy is included. The production processes for raw materials and energy flows with very small amounts (less than 1%) are not included. These cut-off criteria do not apply for hazardous materials and substances.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
