Key Data Set Information
Location	SE
Geographical representativeness description	Main market is in Norway and the Nordic countries. Products are also exported to Europa and other continents.
Reference year	2023
Name	640 Natural stone quartzite schist, natural cleft surface, with Broken edges, Oppdal
Technical purpose of product or process	The 750 million year old Oppdal quartzite has several shades of grey and a varying surface structure. It is very easy to shape and can be easily scored and then snapped/cut to obtain an almost right-angled rustic edge. Oppdal quartzite has a high content of quartz and feidspar. Natural cleft surface: Pavement block, massive slabs, wall cladding, flooring tiles, brick, slabs, fireplace mantels, stone furniture, window sills, roofing and steps. Products with natural cleft surface, broken or sawn edges includes all products mentioned above. Surface: Natural cleft surfac Sawn edge: Sawn edges are completely straight, right-angled and precise. The color of the sawn edges becomes slightly lighter than the surface of the natural cleft sch ist.
Classification	Class name : Hierarchy level EPDNorge: Construction / Natural stone
General comment on data set	Data for (A1-A3) is based on specific consumption data for Minera Skifer Oppdal 2019. Emissions from production and detonation of explosives are derived from safety data sheets for the relevant explosive types. Generic data is from Ecoinvent v3.5, Allocation, Recycled Content (November 2018) and SimaPro v 9.1.1.1. Characterization factors from EN15804: 2012 + A 1: 2013. No data is older than 5 years. The allocation is made in accordance with the provisions of EN 15804. lncoming energy and water and waste production in-house (A3) is allocated equally among all products through mass allocation. Economic allocation is used upstream (A1 and A2) because machina blocks from the quarry are not subject for further processing. Price for machina blocks are significant lower compared with processed schist products (>25% difference). Difference in material consumption, energy and waste production in the production of different products (floor tiles, slabs, roofing etc.) are considered to be marginal, as production processes are nearly the same. All major raw materials and all the essential energy is included. The production process for raw materials and energy flows that are included with very small amounts ( <1 % ) are not included. This cut-off rule does not apply for hazardous materials or 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.
