Technical purpose of product or process Ceiling swirl diffusers with circular and square front plate for a high number of air changes, with low sound power level for comfort zones, with individually manually adjustable air control blades. Front made of sheet steel, with the possibility of a painted finish for air supply and extraction For installations with constant and variable air flow Compatible with any ceiling system, with the possibility of suspended installation High induction, which leads to a rapid reduction in the temperature difference and air speed Up to 35 air changes per hour with a row of several diffusers, minimum distance between diffusers of 0.9 m (between central points) Ideal for comfort installations

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.
