Technical purpose of product or process	Square plenum box for universal connection of ceiling diffusers type VDW, TDV, RFD, FD, TDF, TID, ADLQ, DLQ, ADLR, DLQL. For more information see: https://www.trox.de/en/ceiling-diffusers/ak-uni-e2780312dd5b17a1. Square plenum boxes for the connection of square and to some extent circular diffuser faces to circular ducts, suitable for supply air or extract air applications. For installation into all kinds of suspended ceilings. Ready-to-install component which consists of the plenum box, permanent equalising element (only supply air variants), side entry spigot, cross bar, and suspension holes. The diffuser face is fixed to the cross bar with a central screw, concealed by a decorative cap. Spigot suitable for ducts to EN1506 or EN13180. This EPD includes the environmental data of the product series AK-UNI. The following represents a specific dataset of the most sold variant in the declared sales year (AK013-ZL).
Classification	Class name : Hierarchy level EPDNorge: Construction / Ventilation components
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. Energy, 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.
