| Use advice for data set | Flow chart over production (A3) of the declared product and all other modules is shown below. Module A4 to D is further explained in the scenario section. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | Sawn timber is used for structural purposes, cladding and as component in wood based products. The average moisture ratio of the declared products is 16 % (EN 14298). On request, timber with a different moisture content can be delivered. Sawntimber is produced in different sizes and the declared product is representative for the average sawn timber produced by SCA sawmills and a mix of pine and spruce. Difference in the calculated GWP Fossil A1-A3 between a 100% single specie and a mix of eachtree species respectively, is less than 4%. |

| General comment on data set | The roundwood transport settings and planing/sawmill use specific LCA data. Representative generic data LCA data is used for the forestry. Generic upstream database LCA data are used for energy wares and small amount of auxiliary materials that are mainly from ecoinvent 3.10. LCA data for diesel is based on European average (6% biobased components). The allocation are made in accordance with the provisions of EN15804. All impacts from the planning of boards are allocated to the main product. The sawmill and its multiple co-products are allocated based on their different economic values, except the drying process that is attributed to the intermediate product on physical premises representative for the final product moisture content. The economic value of the different parts of the input round timber are attributed using the market value of its final products/co-products. The shavings is sold and attributed to its upstream impact from its previously processes. A conservative approach (double accounting) is used for transport (module A2) of round timber to the sawmill based on economic allocation factors as oulined in cPCR EN16485. A conservative economic allocation approach is used for forestry products, where no impact is allocated to the tops and branches (GROT), except forestry operations aimed for GROT (forwarding and shipping). Indicator result on potential soil quality (SQP) is assessed based on national characterisation factors for Swedish forestry (Horn et al 2021). All major raw materials and all the essential energy used are included. All production process are included, hence the few limited cut off that occurs (<<1%): Packaging materials are not substituted in module D. This cut-off rule does not apply for hazardous materials and substances. Inherent biogenic carbon and stored energy in packaging material is balanced out directly. |

| Technology description including background system | Sawn timber is deliveredaccording to qualities andsizes specifiedbydemands on different markets. For the European market, the European ENstandards and the Swedish publication'Appearance grading of softwoods European spruces, firs, pines, Douglasfir and larches are typically applicable'. The raw dry mass for spruce is 384 kg/m3and 420 kg/m3for pine as Swedish averages and used here to calculate biogenic carbon content and the delivery density including water |
