Key Data Set Information
Location	NO
Geographical representativeness description	Mainly Norway, but also the Nordic countries.
Reference year	2024
Name	Component EPD Ringebu: Purchased PEX pipes - used as material component in various finished mixed products
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. The material data set used in A1 is generated from the cradle to gate part (A1-A3) of a published EPD from Roth North Europe A/S. Transport in A2 is the specific transport of the material from Roth North Europe A/S to Ringebu.
Technical purpose of product or process	PEX pipe of type PEX-c for tap water piping systems. The colours are according to the product standards. This EPD covers products as material components, intended for use in various finished mixed products as e.g. flexible piping systems with or without integrated frost protection, etc.. 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 manufactured in 2021.
Classification	Class name : Hierarchy level EPDNorge: Construction / Piping
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 not allocated among internally or externally purchased, components which are not further processed, only handled and assembled, before leaving Ringebu. Cut-off criteria: All raw materials and all the essential energy are included.

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.
