Name	DBB Air insulated switchgear Type: AH12 - Comprising of Outgoing & Incoming feeders, Buscoupler & Bus sectionalizer with Transfer
Technical purpose of product or process	Al-Ahleia make DBB Air insulated switchgear Type: AH12 is an indoor, totally enclosed type metal clad switchgear equipped with a horizontal isolation Switching Device and two disconnectors, one for each busbar, to enable switchgear service continuity. Type: AH12 Switchgear fulfil the common need of controlling, protecting and isolating power systems. DBB Type: AH12 Switchgear is designed to offer a very high level of reliability as the feeder cables can be changed over from one busbar to the other without loss of power. Each of the variety in DBB switchgear is equipped with integral or withdrawable type earthing switch as applicable. The DBB switchgear described in this declaration cover varieties like Outgoing feeder, Incomer feeder, Bus coupler, Bus sectionalizer with transfer unit. Al-Ahleia make DBB switchgear Type AH12 is designed and manufactured to fully comply with the requirements as specified in International Standards and relevant customer specifications.

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.
