| Use advice for data set | The life cycle assessment is a “cradle-to-grave” analysis, and the system boundaries are defined according to EN 50693, as required by the PCR. For transparency reasons, the manufacturing stage is further divided into an upstream and core stage. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | This Environmental Product Declaration is a “specific product EPD”, and the declared product is the Retrofit mounting assembly for REX521, including related packaging. Previous versions of REX521 relays are in the classic and obsolete stage of the product life cycle. ABB’s Relay Retrofit Program for REX 521 offers smooth and controlled replacement of REX 521 relays with REF615, REM615, REX615 from the Relion 615 series. The functionality of the selected 615 series relay corresponds to that of the existing REX521 relay. The main deliverables under this program are Relion 615 series replacement relay and the Retrofit mounting assembly for REX521RRP, which is prewired to the new Relion 615 relay for the customer. Retrofit mounting assembly can be installed in the existing panel door cutout after removal of REX521 relay. General technical specifications of the Retrofit mounting assembly for REX521RRP are presented below. Description Device Code 1 (Ref. product) Size Width 192 mm Height 268 mm Depth 183 mm Weight 2016 g ABB only performs assembly of the Retrofit mounting assembly for REX521RRP and a relay and the final testing of this retrofit assembly. ABB does not manufacture or assembly the Retrofit mounting assembly for REX521RRP itself. Instead, it is outsourced and purchased from supplier as a ready product. The assembly and testing are done at ABB Electrification service plant in Vaasa, Finland. The plant uses 100 % renewable energy for the electricity (50/50 mix of wind and hydro) and for heating (bioenergy). The plant is also certified according to the following standards: • ISO 9001:2015 – Quality Management Systems • ISO 14001:2015 – Environmental Management Systems • ISO 45001:2018 – Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems • ISO 50001:2018 – Energy management systems The constituent materials of the Retrofit mounting assembly for REX521RRP Reference Product are presented below.

| General comment on data set | Both primary and secondary data are used. The main sources for primary data are the bill of materials (BOM), CAD-files, technical drawings, and site-specific foreground data provided by ABB. For all processes for which primary data are not available, generic background data originating from the ecoinvent v3.9.1 database, with system model “allocation, cut-off by classification”, are used. The LCA software used for the calculations is SimaPro 9.5. The utility consumption by ABB, in the core manufacturing stage, is allocated to the production of one reference product according to applicable rules. For the end-of-life allocation, the “Polluter Pays” principle is adopted according to what is defined in the CEN/TR 16970 standard, as required by EPDItaly007. However, the potential benefits and avoided loads from recovery and recycling processes are not considered because it is not required by the PCR. The PCR EPDItaly007 does not provide any details about cut-off criteria; it refers to chapter 4.2.3.3 in the standard EN 50693. According to EN 50693, the cut-off criteria can be set to a maximum of 5 % of the overall environmental impacts. In this LCA, labels as well as the tape and staples used in the packaging have been excluded as their weights are negligible. |
