| Use advice for data set | The analysis is a cradle-to-gate (A1 - A3) study, with option A4 transport to market. It includes the extraction and production of raw materials, transportation to the production site, the production process itself and transport to the market. A5, installation, is included for the transport of packaging waste from the construction site and the treatment of this waste - not the installation of the products. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | PE 100 pipes, fittings and chambers made from PE 100 pipes for water supply and sewers under pressure; non-pressure drains, sewers, surface water piping systems and jacket pipes (smooth casings), as well as HDPE pipes for cable protection, jacket pipes (corrugated casings) and fiber cable pipes. The colours are according to the product standards and the colour codes for these applications in Norway. This EPD covers both finished products and products as material components, intended for use in various finished mixed products as e.g. flexible piping systems with or without integrated frost protection, pre-insulated piping systems, etc.. More information is found on www.pipelife.no The products covered by this EPD have small variations in composition and are manufactured with the same type of equipment. The composition below represents an average for these products manufactured in 2022. |

| 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. Incoming energy and waste production in-house is allocated equally among all products manufactured at Ringebu from raw materials, through mass allocation. The Ringebu factory has its own water supply. Water is not consumed, it is used for cooling and then returned to natural flows. 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 raw materials and all the essential energy are included. |

| Technology description including background system | For products covered by this EPD the following applies: Products used as media pipes for water supply, sewers, drains and surface water fullfill the requirements in accordance with EN 12201 (Nordic Poly Mark). Pipes intended for drinking water are also approved according to the Danish requirements (DK-VAND). Single-walled corrugated pipes for land drainage fullfill the requirements in accordance with NS 3065 (NS marking). Double-walled corrugated pipes in coils used for cable protection fullfill the requirements in accordance with NEK-EN 61386-1 and -24. Smooth-walled pipes used for fiber cables fullfill the requirements in accordance with prNS 2967.
