Key Data Set Information
Location	NO
Geographical representativeness description	Norway, Sweden, Finland
Reference year	2024
Name	Powerline wall box w/o mounting bracket
Use advice for data set	The analysis is a cradle-to-gate (A1 - A3) study, with option A4 transport to market. It includes the extraction and production of raw materials, transportation to the production site, the production process itself and transport to the market. A5, installation, is included for the transport of packaging waste from the construction site and the treatment of this waste - not the installation of the products.
Technical purpose of product or process	The Powerline wall box has a standard size, with two different fronts—one for single modules and one for one-and-a-half modules. The box can be screwed directly onto the wall or mounted with a wall bracket if preferred. This EPD declares wall box without bracket. The conduit openings have a sealing flap that can be pressed down with a screwdriver to open. The wall box has three openings on each side: two 16 mm and one 20 mm on each side. It can be connected in series if needed. The products covered by this EPD have small variations in composition and are manufactured with the same type of equipment. The composition below represents an average for these products manufactured in 2021.
Classification	Class name : Hierarchy level EPDNorge: Construction / Piping
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 electricity and water are allocated according to measured electricity consumption for the actual production department. Water is used for cooling and it is assumed that the amount of water for cooling corresponds to the amount of energy used. Diesel and waste production in-house are allocated equally among all products through mass allocation. Cut-off criteria: All raw materials and all the essential energy are included.

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.
