Reference year	2024
Name	SafeRing/SafePlus 12/24 kV type CCV 20kA Arc Classified
Technical purpose of product or process	ABB SafeRing/SafePlus Switchgear is a medium voltage gas insulated ring main unit for secondary distribution. The main function of the switchgears is to “establish and cut off the supply of a downstream installation from an electrical and/or mechanical control and to protect people and premises at risk of fire or explosion against insulation defects”. SafeRing/SafePlus can be supplied in a number of different configurations suitable for most switching applications in 12/24 kV distribution networks. SafeRing/SafePlus 12 / 24 kV type CCV 20 kA Arc Classified switchgear consist of two load-break switch units (C-module) plus one circuit breaker (V-module). The manufacturer proclaims a minimum product service life of 30 years but the calculations are based on 20 years as the PCR dictates. The functional unit of this study is described as 1 piece of SafeRing/SafePlus 12 / 24 kV type CCV 20 kA Arc Classified including heat loss during a 20 year product lifetime. The functional unit is IAC classified.

General comment on data set	Data quality: Specific data for the product composition are provided by the manufacturer. They 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, Norsus, ecoinvent and other 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 time 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 2%) might not be 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.
