| Use advice for data set | Modules A1-A4 are included in the document. A1-A3 encompass the extraction of raw materials, transportation of those materials, and the manufacturing of shapeless and regular blocks. Both products share the processes of marble extraction from the quarry, internal transportation, cutting, and splitting. Regular blocks also undergo cutting, final inspection, and storage before being transported to markets in module A4. The blocks are exported to European countries, where natural stone factories handle further processing into various marble products. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | Marble block stone from Fauske is quarried north of the Arctic Circle and characterized by its distinctive patterns and a range of shades and colors. These versatile blocks can be used as walling stone, exterior wall cladding, interior design, high-traffic flooring, and sculptural artistic work, to name a few. The petrographic classification of the stone is Calcitic-Dolomitic marble. The marble with its significant Dolomite content is typically more durable and better suited for high-traffic areas or exterior applications where durability is essential, making the product known for versatile usage. The stone block comes as squared or shapeless (labeled as Mosaic). The marble comes in three dominating colors: 1. Norwegian Rose, world-renowned pink marble. 2. Hermelin (Antique Fonce), classic blue-grey marble in a dark and light version. 3. Antique Verdatre, exclusive mint green-white marble. |

| 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 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. |
