KU-K30
Technical purpose of product or process For diffusers in suspended F30 ceilings. Square fire damper for installation in suspended fire-resistant F30 ceilings. For the isolation of duct penetrations between fire compartments, available in five nominal sizes. For more informations see: https://www.trox.de/en/fire-dampers/ku-k30-3f6f443b80edfea1 Square fire damper for the isolation of ducts in self supporting fire-resistant suspended ceilings. Satisfies high ventilation requirements when combined with a non-combustible ceiling diffuser or swirl diffuser. Suitable for supply and extract air Ready-for-operation unit, which includes a fire-resistant damper blade and a release mechanism.

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. Energy, 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.
