Use advice for data set A diagram of the system boundary is shown in figure 1 below. A tabular overview of the system boundary is shown on page 7
Technical purpose of product or process AST® LEC insulated panels are part of our Lower Embodied Carbon solutions. The AST® (Advanced Structural Technology) ensures high tensile strength, reliable longevity and high fire resistance of sandwich panels. AST® LEC insulated panels can be installed in a variety of wall and ceiling applications, especially where high fire resistance and a low carbon footprint are required. The life cycle assessment is based on 1 m2 of Paroc AST E LEC 150 mm stonewool sandwich panels. This EPD is valid for all variations of Paroc AST E LEC, AST F LEC and Paroc AST F+ LEC. The deviation of the LCA results for the AST E LEC relative to AST F LEC and AST F+ LEC panels are estimated to be less than 4% The panels are produced in different thicknessess. The evironmental impac of the panels with different thicknesses can be estimated by multiplying the LCA result of each impact category in the environmental impact table (page 7) with the corresponding factors given in table 3.

  • EPDNorge: Construction / Building boards
General comment on data set The data quality requirements are according to EN15804 and PCR 010 ver 4.0 for building boards. Specific data from 2022 production at the manufacturing site is applied in A3.The production data for Paroc stonewool sandwich panels is from one production site, Parainen in Finland, and therefore no average data has been used for different locations. Generic datasets were obtained from the Sphera Professional database 2023 and Ecoinvent v3.8. To represent the stone wool in the product the EPD PAROC FI Produced Stone Wool Thermal Insulation has been used (NEPD-4607-3858-EN) 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 allocated to the main product in which the material was used. The recycling process and transportation of the material is allocated to this analysis. General cut-off criteria are given in standard EN 15804 clause 6.3.5. In compliance with these criteria, all major raw materials and all the essential energy are included. The infrastructure of the manufacturing site, production of packaging for incoming raw materials, joint insulation, joint sealants and screws used in A5 with very small amounts (<1%) are not included. This cut-off rule does 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.
