Technical purpose of product or process NOVASIT BM firestop compound is a fibre-free special mortar according to ETA-22/0051 and DIN EN 998-2, offering high adhesive strength, stability, and low formwork effort. NOVASIT BM is suitable as a firestop sealing mortar for cable, pipe, and mixed penetration seals. NOVASIT BM is Fibre-free special mortar with particularly high adhesive strength, stability and low demands to formwork and is an ideal choice for plasterboard walls, solid walls and floors applications. NOVASIT BM is classified as A1 in acc. with EN 13501-1. This material is engineered for use in various passive fire protection applications within structural and industrial settings. NOVASIT BM is suitable for both indoor use and installation in sheltered outdoor areas. Within the EU and EFTA, the product falls under the scope of Directive (EU) No. 305/2011 (CPR) for market placement. Compliance with this directive requires a Declaration of Performance in accordance with the relevant European Technical Assessments (ETAs), including ETA 22/0051 for the systems and (EAD) No. 350454-00-1104 for fire stopping and fire sealing products penetration seals along with the appropriate CE marking. The manufacture of NOVASIT BM is optimized for efficiency and continuous improvement, certified to ISO 9001. Preliminary products undergo incoming inspection before use. Each batch is subject to internal quality control to ensure compliance with fire protection standards, supplemented by regular external monitoring. Raw materials are stored securely to prevent environmental release. Worker safety is prioritized with minimal direct contact with raw materials, protective clothing, dust masks, and adequate extraction systems. Waste is sorted, stored, and returned to the recycling process wherever possible. NOVASIT BM is available in 10 kg plastic containers and 20 kg bags. The following waste codes should be taken into account: 17 01 06* - mixtures of, or separate fractions of concrete, bricks, tiles and ceramics containing dangerous substances. 100% of the known ingredients of the product have been considered in the environmental footprint calculation.

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.

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.
