Geographical representativeness description	Main market Norway/ Nordics, But can be sold to and used anywhere in the world.
Reference year	2025
Name	Smartgrid cabinet UNI-SIG, size 600
Technical purpose of product or process	Outdoor smartgrid cabinets for harsh Nordic environments. Sustainable design with high quality materials, that can be reused or easily separated for recycling at end of life. Functionality for surveillance of power grids by measuring electrical values, in addition to collection and distribution of signals from other grid-components. IT-grid versions has functionality for detecting ground faults and giving alarm. Cabinets are made of seawater-resistant aluminium with roof and bottom in weather resistant reinforced polycarbonate. The cabinets are anodized brown, both for aesthetic reason and to improve corrosion resistance. Cabinets are made to provide a good climate for electronic components. To prevent condensation, cabinets are equipped with passive ventilation and heater, as well as insulated roof and drainage in the bottom. Equipped with electrical components from well-known manufacturers. Based on customer requirements, the cabinets can be equipped with metering systems (smart meters) and/or various sensors and sensorhubs for the customers own SCADA system. Wireless two-way communication connects the cabinet to the grid network for real-time monitoring through a vandal-proof antenna in the roof that provides radio and GSM transmission. The cabinets has a wide range of accessories which among other things covers most mounting methods needed in the power grid.

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.
