Protecta FR Board 2-S
Use advice for data set The life cycle analysis is a cradle-to-grave study, excluding the use phase (B1-B7). It includes the extraction and production of raw materials and packaging, transportation to the manufacturing site, the production process itself, transportation to the construction site, waste management during product installation, demolition, transportation to waste treatment, the waste treatment process, landfill of materials, as well as avoided emissions and resource use in a new product. A4: Transportation from the factory in England to the market is included, based on an average distance calculated from all the countries where we export this product. A5: Manual installation is assumed, and electricity is not accounted for. No sealants/adhesives are included. Our fire-rated products are system-approved and have EPDs for the necessary products. We expect the EPDs for the used products to be attached as documentation. 2% material loss is included during installation. All packaging is sent for average waste treatment. C1: Average datasets are used for demolition. C2: 50 km of transportation to the nearest waste treatment facility is assumed. C3: No part of the product is assumed to be sent for incineration. C4: The entire product is assumed to be sent to landfill. The stone wool can be recycled if the paint is removed. However, we consider the likelihood of this practice being carried out to be minimal. D: Reuse, recovery, and recycling are set to zero.
Technical purpose of product or process Protecta FR Board is designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through openings in fire rated walls and floors where openings are formed to allow the installation of multiple building services. FR Board will also maintain the acoustic designed performance in fire rated walls and floors. FR Board consists of a high density, stone wool core which is over-coated with FR Coating. The top coating provides additional protection by significantly reducing the permeability of the stone wool core and prevents the passage of hot gases, thus reducing the temperature rise on the unexposed side and reducing heat conduction through the building services. FR Board is available with top coating on one or two sides, selected on the basis of installation considerations and fire resistance. On site, FR Board must be used together with FR Acrylic for sealing around building services and the surrounding construction.

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.
