Name	ROCKWOOL ® Granulate Pro Plus for the Nordic market
Use advice for data set	The LCA is performed as a ‘cradle-to-grave ’ study, addressing all life cycle stages identified in the EN 15804+A2. All major raw materials, energy, electricity use and waste are included for all life cycle modules, see flowchart below. Use stage B1-7 modules are considered but are not relevant, as there are no activities and no significant environmental impact in the use stage.
Technical purpose of product or process	This EPD documents the potential environmental impacts of 1 m² of ROCKWOOL Granulate Pro Plus stone wool insulation with a thermal resistance (R-value) equal to 1 m²K/W. The intended use of the EPD is to communicate quantified environmental impacts of construction products for application in the assessment of the environmental performance of buildings. This EPD is covered by available on www.epd-norge.no The average composition used for this EPD is calculated based on average factory consumption figures for raw materials. The raw materials are mainly non-scarce stones, and resin binder. This product contains no substances on the Norwegian priority list

General comment on data set	Data quality: All data represents the applicable geography, time and technology for the specific and generic data, generally assessed as good and very good. Primary data are collected from the specific production sites, in the reference year 2021 and represent stabilized production. Generic data is from GaBi database (version 2021) with GaBi Software version 10.0.1.92. Allocation: The allocation is made in accordance with the provisions of EN 15804+A2. Production activities, electricity and energy consumption and waste generation are allocated equally among all products from the production site through mass allocation. Cut-off criteria: All major raw materials and all the essential energy are included. All hazardous materials and substances are considered in the inventory. Data sets within the system boundary are complete and fulfil criteria for the exclusion of inputs and output criteria. All data, materials and energy consumptions, have been specified according to the production data and have been considered within the inventory analysis.

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.
