Mechanical destruction Mechanical destruction of the declared product shall not materially alter its composition or have any adverse effect on the environment. … Further information Details of all types and variants can be found on the manufacturers' websites. The respective website addresses are available at https://arge.org. There is no waste associated with the installation of the product. The A5 module therefore represents only the disposal of the product packaging. The End-of-Life (EoL) stages are also considered. The transportation to the EoL disposal site is taken into account in module C2. Module C4 covers the disposal of the locks. Module C3 covers the recycling of the individual elements according to European averages, with the remaining waste divided between incineration and landfill. Such a mixed scenario is declared due to the complex material mix of the product and the dependency of the EoL-route on the EoL route of the product the lock has been integrated into. In practice, the end of life has been modelled as follows: • when a material is sent for recycling, generic transport and electric consumption of a shredder is taken into account (corresponding to the process 'Grinding, metals'). Only then, is the material considered to have attained the 'end-of-waste' state. • each type of waste is modelled as a transport to the treatment site with a distance of 30 km. Parts sent for recycling include electricity consumption (grinding) and a flow ('Materials for recycling, unspecified'). … Estimates and assumptions The LCA data of the declared lock have been calculated using the production data of … ARGE member companies. These companies have been chosen by ARGE as being representative of their production processes and their market shares. The lock chosen as representative for this calculation follows the "worst-case" principle as explained under 6. LCA interpretation. Environmental Product Declaration - ARGE – The European Federation of Locks and Building Hardware Manufacturers - Locks … Cut-off criteria The cut-off criteria considered are 1% of renewable and nonrenewable primary energy usage and 1% of the total mass of that unit process.

Declared unit Name Declared unit Mass of assessed products Raw density Value … Environmental Product Declaration - ARGE – The European Federation of Locks and Building Hardware Manufacturers - Electromechanical building hardware and swing door operators and transport of the raw materials, manufacture of the product and the packaging materials which are declared in modules A1A3. Losses during production are considered as waste and are sent for recycling. No recycling processes are taken into account except transport and electricity consumption for grinding the metals. When recycled metals are used as raw material only their transformation process is taken into account and not the extraction of the raw material. A4 module represents the transport of the finished electromechanical building hardware or swing door operator to the installation site. There is no waste associated with the installation of the product. The A5 module therefore represents only the disposal of the product packaging. Two alternatives are declared for the power supply: • B6_1: replacement of the battery every … years (for battery-powered devices) • B6_2: energy consumption from the grid (for gridconnected devices) The End-of-Life (EoL) stages are also considered. The transportation to the EoL disposal site is taken into account in module C2. Module C4 covers the disposal of the electromechanical building hardware or swing door operator. Module C3 covers the recycling of the individual elements according to European averages, with the remaining waste divided between incineration and landfill. Such a mixed scenario is declared due to the complex material mix of the product and the dependency of the EoL-route on the EoL-route of the product the electromechanical building hardware or swing door operator has been integrated into. In practice, the end of life has been modelled as follows: • when a material is sent for recycling, generic transport and electric consumption of a shredder is taken into account (corresponding to the process 'Grinding, metals'). Only then, is the material considered to have attained the 'end of waste' state. • each type of waste is modelled as a transport to the treatment site with a distance of 30 km. Parts sent for recycling include electricity consumption (grinding) and a flow ('Materials for recycling, unspecified'). … Estimates and assumptions The LCA data of the declared product had been calculated by the production data from one ARGE member company. This company had been chosen by ARGE as being representative by means of its production processes and its market share. The product is chosen to be as representative as possible. In addition, data were used from another manufacturer to consider battery-powered devices in order to complete the LCA results. … Cut-off criteria The cut-off criteria considered are 1% of renewable and nonrenewable primary energy usage and 1% of the total mass of that unit process. The total neglected input flows per module amount to a maximum of 5% of energy usage and mass. For this study, all input and output flows have been considered at 100%, including raw materials as per the product composition provided by the manufacturer and packaging of raw materials as well as the final product. Energy and water consumptions have also been considered at 100% according to the data provided. With the approach chosen, no significant environmental impacts are known to have been cut off. … Data quality The objective of this evaluation is to evaluate the environmental impacts generated by the products throughout their entire life cycles. To this end, ISO 14040, ISO 14044 and EN 15804 have been met regarding the quality of data on the following different criteria: Time: The life cycle inventory data used come from: • Data collected specifically for this study on the ARGE member company's manufacturing site. Datasets are based on 1-year averaged data (time period: January 2013 to December 2013 considered representative for 2022). • In the absence of collected data, generic data from the ecoinvent v3.8 database have been used. This is updated regularly and is representative of current processes (the entire database having been updated in 2021). Geography: Data come from the production site of the ARGE member company. Generic data come from the ecoinvent database, representative for European production processes. Technology: Material shaping technologies are based on European technology in the case of use of generic data. Several products of this product group have been assessed in separate LCAs; from these LCA the worst values per indicator and module are declared as worst-case assumption. … Geographic Representativeness Land or region, in which the declared product system is manufactured, used or handled at the end of the product´s lifespan: Europe … Comparability Basically, a comparison or an evaluation of EPD data is only possible if all the data sets to be compared were created according to EN 15804 and the building context, respectively the product-specific characteristics of performance, are taken into account. ecoinvent v3.8 (system model: cut-off by classification) has been used as the background database.

It is required that installation, as well as maintenance of the product, must be done in line with instructions provided by the manufacturer. Operational energy use (B6) Two alternatives are declared for the power supply: • B6_1: replacement of the battery every … : 'In module D substitution effects are calculated only for the resulting net output flow. For building hardware, the following rules apply for the quantification of net output flows: - all production scrap and cuttings leave modules A1-B3 as sorted scrap without allocated burdens from primary production; the corresponding amounts are declared as material for recycling (MFR); - net amounts of a metal leaving the product system are quantified as the material for recycling leaving modules A1-C4 minus the input of secondary scrap (secondary material, SM) to the product system; - in the case of brass and zinc alloys, which are composed of two different constituting metals, no difference shall be made between the input of secondary constituting metals (Cu and Zn; Cu and Sn) and its alloys (CuZn; CuSn). Negative net output flows have been considered in the quantification of module D. It also includes the benefits and loads related to 'exported energy electricity' and 'exported energy heat' resulting from the energy recovery from plastic wastes in a municipal waste incineration plant as modelled in Modules A3, A5 and C4.

Figure … illustrates the relative contributions of the different Figure 1: Environmental impacts of electromechanical building hardware and swing door operators with external power supply along their life cycle By far the largest part of environmental impact is caused by the … modules along the life cycle of the declared products, assuming power supply from the grid. electricity from the grid during standby. With the exception of the ADP elements, the production (modules A1-A3) of the electromechanical building hardware and swing door operators has negligible impacts. All the other modules related to the product life cycle and module D are not significant. Environmental Product Declaration - ARGE – The European Federation of Locks and Building Hardware Manufacturers - Electromechanical building hardware and swing door operators Figure … illustrates the relative contributions of the different modules along the life cycle of the battery-powered products. Figure 2: Environmental impacts of battery-powered electromechanical building hardware along its life cycle The largest part of environmental impacts is caused during production (modules A1-A3); comparably small impacts are caused during the transport of the product to the construction site (via the manufacturer of the product, which the electromechanical hardware has been integrated into). All the other modules related to the product life cycle are not significant. Benefits and burdens beyond the system boundary (module D) are in the order of +5 % to +15 % hence resulting in net burdens due to a negative net flow of recycled materials over the product life cycle. Several typical products (based on sales figures) have been evaluated and the worst-case results are used in section … , the tabulated range of relative weight per material ensures that the variability of results stays within +/- 40% of the declared values (assessed for the indicators GWP, PENRT, and non-hazardous waste). 7.
