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 Isoterm pipes water and pressure sewer T75-300-600 are coiled flexible pipes with integrated frost protection. The applications are cold water supply and sewers under pressure for main and service pipelines to houses, cottages or other facilities, especially when vulnerable landscap, difficult terrain and cold climates can be a challenge, e.g. during periods when there is a risk of frost. The pipes have a construction consisting of a media pipe in PE 100 PN16, which is approved for drinking water and a protective corrugated casing in HDPE, as well as ohmic heating cable as integrated frost protection. The Isoterm pipes are suitable for permanent installations underground, and in some cases also temporarily for a short period of time above ground. 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 with components manufactured in 2022. This EPD presents an average of different configurations within the same dimension of 110/175 mm Isoterm pipe. Within these configurations, there is a difference in the amounts of cable by weight per DU 1 kg of product. Variability study has been performed. GWP results A1-A3 between the different configurations deviate between -1% and +1% compared to the average values presented in this EPD.

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: Media pipes for water supply and sewers fulfill 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). For technical information, see our handbook: https://www.pipelife.no/content/dam/pipelife/norway/marketing/general/r%C3%B8rh%C3%A5ndboka/r%C3%B8rh%C3%A5ndboka2021/M-Materialdata.pdf Heating cables used as integrated frost protection comply with the requirements of Directive 2014/35/EU (Low Voltage Directive) and are CE-compliant. Ohmic heating cables have a nominal power output of 8 W/m (operation mode) and 18 W/m (boost mode). The circuit lengths range from 15 to 75 m (T75), 60 to 300 m (T300), and 300 to 600 m (T600), based on a 230 VAC supply and C-type characteristic circuit protection devices in accordance with EN 60898. Ohmic heating cables are tested and approved according to IEC 60800.

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.
