Key Data Set Information
Location	QA
Geographical representativeness description	It covers the regional markets where the product is produced.
Reference year	2026
Name	PVA Primer(QA), Jotun Paints Qatar W.L.L
Use advice for data set	The flowchart in the figure below illustrates the system boundaries for the analysis, in accordance with the modular principle on EN 15804+A2. The analysis is a cradle-to-gate (A1-A3) study with options, in addition to module A4, transport to market, modules C1-C4 and module D are included.
Technical purpose of product or process	PVA Primer(QA) is an emulsion primer, designed for interior purposes. Based on acrylic copolymer emulsion. Ideal for priming interior surfaces. The material composition of the declared mixed product is given below:
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. In this EPD we adopted a conservative approach and have utilised electricity data from Saudi Arabia, due to a lack of data for Qatar. Additionally, Qatar and Saudi Arabia have a similar source of energy. This EPD utilises A2 transport data from our Dubai site. As justification, the environmental impacts from transporting raw materials to Jotun factories constitute a small percentage of the product's total footprint and are quite similar across different sites. Therefore, using this data should not significantly impact the total product footprint. 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.

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.
