Reference year	2025
Name	Sto-Resol Insulation Board
Use advice for data set	The scope of this EPD is cradle to gate with options, modules C1-C4 and module D. No actions are necessary during User stage.
Technical purpose of product or process	Sto-Resol Insulation Board is a thermal insulation board made from rigid phenolic foam and glass fleece facings on both sides in accordance with EN 13166. The use of the product is in exterior application, for example in wall insulation systems such as StoTherm Resol and StoTherm Resol Plus. The product is available with a thickness between 2 cm and 20 cm. Sto is acting as trader for the insulation board. The supplier is located in Europe. This EPD covers the insulation board with a thickness of 10 cm and a format of 120 x 40 cm and a RD-value of 4,75 m²·K/W. The grammage is equal to 3.88 kg/ m². If calculating different thicknesses, it is paramount to use the calculation table provided by Sto for the correct result. For the placing on the market of the product in the European Union/European Free Trade Association (EU/EFTA) (with the exception of Switzerland) Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011 (CPR) applies. The product needs a declaration of performance taking into consideration EN 13166 - Thermal insulation products for buildings - Factory made phenolic foam (PF) products - Specification and the CE-marking. For the application and use the respective national provisions apply. In the current REACH regulations, phenolic foam insulation products are considered 'articles' and are exempt from the requirements of Article 57 and 59(1) of REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. These products are not classified as 'hazardous products' according to any current legislation, and can hence be declared as follows: - This article contains substances listed in the candidate list (date: 12.07.2024) exceeding 0.1 percentage by mass: no. - This article contains other carcinogenic, mutagenic, reprotoxic (CMR) substances in categories 1A or 1B which are not on the candidate list, exceeding 0.1 percentage by mass: no. - Biocide products were added to this construction product or it has been treated with biocide products (this then concerns a treated product as defined by the (EU) Biocidal Products Regulation No. 528/2012 (BPR): no.' The chemical functional group of the additives used in the resin is that of non-ionic surfactants. The blowing agent is permanent due to the closed cell structure. The main materials of Sto-Resol Insulation Board are as stated below. The exact amount depends on the thickness of the board.
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+A2. 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.
