Process information

Key Data Set Information
Location	CN
Geographical representativeness description	Norway and Scandinavia
Reference year	2025
Name	Sewage castings and related products BB Products – BB Standard JP
Use advice for data set	This product system includes the production of street goods in China (modules A1-A3), transport of the finished goods to Scandinavia and distribution for the Scandinavian market (module A4), the packaging waste sent for treatment (module A5), and the end-of-life scenario (modules C1-C4, D).
Technical purpose of product or process	1 ton of sewage castings and related products BB Products (BB standard range), produced at the JP foundry. The range includes manhole covers in various sizes and shapes (manhole covers, gratings, dome gratings, covers for cable connection chambers), as well as ductile iron dip pipes. Sewage castings are heavier products, and therefore this EPD is declared per ton of finished goods. The reader can divide the EPD results by 1000 to get the environmental impact per kilogram.
Classification	Class name : Hierarchy level EPDNorge: Construction / Steel and Aluminium
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.
