Use advice for data set The system boundaries for this EPD is module A1-A5 and C2. A1: Standard products are delivered without packaging. A4: Distance for transport from manufacturer to building site is set to 300 km by truck or lorry. This distance is given in new PCRs as default value for Norway. A5: Installation is not included due to different installation methods. There is no materials to manage for packaging. Specific EPDs including A5 can be provided on request. C1, C3, C4 and D: Included as zero due to various demolition scenarios, however it is assumed that after 100 years of service life, all end-of-life product is expected to be collected from demolition site (C1). Most of the product materials is assumed to be recycled (C3) while the rest is assumed to be incinerated (C3) and/or landfilled (C4). C2: Transportation distance to nearest waste handling facility is estimated to be 85 km by truck. This distance is given in new PCRs as default value for Norway.
Technical purpose of product or process Profiled or solid wall pipes and fittings in large diameters made from polyethylene and polypropylene developed by German company Krah GmbH. Pipes and fittings are applicable to storm water, sewage and drain systems, tanks, containers, and reservoirs. We offer dimensions ranging from DN/ID 600 mm to DN/ID 3000 mm and different stiffness classes. The standard length is 6 meters, and it is possible to produce them with or without socket connection or with or without solid, angled edges. Pipes can be delivered in segments up to 18 meters. Our products have a bright grey and inspection friendly inner surface and a black UV-resistant outer surface. With Krah technology, we can produce a range of profile types, as described under technical data. A wide selection of different profile types allows us to produce strong yet lightweight pipes using less material. A lightweight pipe is more cost-effective both in production and installation. Both PE and PP are recyclable materials. For more information please visit www.haplast.no. Further information can be found at www.haplast.no and www.krah.net/en
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 registered EPDs according to EN 15804, Ostfold Research databases, 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 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.
