LIMITATIONS

Exclusions: EPDs do not indicate that any environmental or social performance benchmarks are met, and there may be impacts that they do not encompass. LCAs do not typically address the site-specific environmental impacts of raw material extraction, nor are they meant to assess human health toxicity. EPDs can complement but cannot replace tools and certifications that are designed to address these impacts and/or set performance thresholds – e.g. Type 1 certifications, health assessments and declarations, environmental impact assessments, etc.

Accuracy of Results: EPDs regularly rely on estimations of impacts; the level of accuracy in estimation of effect differs for any particular product line and reported impact.

Comparability: EPDs from different programs may not be comparable. Full conformance with a PCR allows EPD comparability only when all stages of a life cycle have been considered. However, variations and deviations are possible". Example of variations: Different LCA software and background LCI datasets may lead to differences results for upstream or downstream of the life cycle stages declared.

Manufacturer Specific EPD

This product-specific EPD was developed based on the cradle-to-grave (modules A1-D) Life Cycle Assessment. The EPD accounts for raw material extraction and processing, transport, product manufacturing, distribution, installation, use, maintenance, disposal, and potential benefits and loads following the end of life disposal. Manufacturing data were gathered directly from company personnel. When updated company-specific data were not available the ratio of production units, between the 2018 calendar year and 2015 baseline year, was used as a proxy. For any product group EPDs, an impact assessment was completed for each product and the highest impacts were reported as conservative representations of the product group. Product grouping was considered appropriate if the individual product impacts differed by no more than ±10% in any impact category.

Product Maintenance

This product requires no maintenance over its reference service life.

Reference Service Life

The reference service life of 25 years is based on a typical installation of a Corbin Russwin ED5000 Mechanical Exit Device, operated when the facilities are to be closed or opened. If operations per day exceeds that typical wear the locks are exposed to the life time is limited to 500,000 cycles in accordance with ANSI/BHMA A156.3. Influences on ageing when applied in accordance with the rules of technology.

Allocation

Allocation was determined on a per unit basis.

* This includes provision of all materials, products and energy, packaging processing and its transport, as well as waste processing up to the end-of waste state or disposal of final residues.

Cut-off Criteria

Processes whose total contribution to the final result, with respect to their mass and in relation to all considered impact categories, is less than 1% can be neglected. The sum of the neglected processes may not exceed 5% by mass of the considered impact categories. For that a documented assumption is admissible.

For Hazardous Substances the following requirements apply:

  • The Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) of hazardous substances will be included, if the inventory is available.
  • If the LCI for a hazardous substance is not available, the substance will appear as an input in the LCI of the product, if its mass represents more than 0.1% of the product composition.
  • If the LCI of a hazardous substance is approximated by modeling another substance, documentation will be provided.

This EPD is in compliance with the cut-off criteria. No processes were neglected or excluded. Capital items for the production processes (machine, buildings, etc.) were not taken into consideration.

Data Sources

Primary data were collected for every process in the product system under the control of ASSA ABLOY Corporate. Secondary data from the GaBi Sphera database were utilized. These data were evaluated and have temporal, geographic, and technical coverage appropriate to the scope of the Builder's Hardware product category.

Data Quality

The data sources used are complete and representative of North America in terms of the geographic and technological coverage and are a recent vintage (i.e. less than ten years old). The data used for primary data are based on direct information sources of the manufacturer. Secondary data sets were used for raw materials extraction and processing, end of life, transportation, and energy production flows. Wherever secondary data is used, the study adopts critically reviewed data for consistency, precision, and reproducibility to limit uncertainty.

Period Under Review

The period under review is the full calendar year of 2018.

Comparability and Benchmarking

A comparison or an evaluation of EPD data is only possible if all 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. Environmental delarations from different programs may not be comparable. Full conformance with the PCR for North American Builders Hardware products allows EPD comparability only when all stages of a Builders Hardware product's life cycle have been considered. However, variations and deviations are possible.

Estimates and Assumptions

End of Life

In the End of Life phase, metal materials were assumed to have an 85% recycling rate while all other materials were assumed to have a 0% recycling rate, in accordance with the Builder's Hardware PCR.

The GaBi-database contains consistent and documented datasets which are documented in the online GaBidocumentation. To ensure comparability of results in the LCA, the basic data of GaBi database were used for energy, transportation and auxiliary materials.

Manufacturing

The primary manufacturing processes are made by Tier 1 suppliers in Mexico and the final manufacturing processes occur in Berlin, CT. The components come from processes like stamped steel, turning, and aluminum extrusion.

Packaging

All packaging is fully recyclable. The packaging material is composed by cardboard (app. 100%).

LCA Interpretation

The production life cycle stage (A1-A3) dominates the impacts across all impact categories. This is due to the upstream production of materials used in the product, along with electricity use in the manufacturing of the product. The disposal stage (C4) contributes negative impacts in many of the impact categories due to the product being mainly composed of steel. With two replacements required over a life-span of a building, the replacement stage (B4) dominates from duplicating these stages.

  • The factories in Berlin, CT have certification of Environmental Management to ISO 14001:2004 and Occupational Health and Safety to OHSAS 18001:2007.

Environmental and Health During Installation

There is no harmful emissive potential. No damage to health or impairment is expected under normal use corresponding to the intended use of the product.

Extraordinary Effects

Fire

Suitable for use in fire and smoke doors: (listed by Underwriters Laboratories)

Water

Contain no substances that have any impact on water in case of flood. Electric operation of the device will be influenced negatively.

Mechanical Destruction

No danger to the environment can be anticipated during mechanical destruction.

Delayed Emissions

Global warming potential is calculated using the TRACI 2.1 and CML 4.1 impact assessment methodologies. Delayed emissions are not considered.

Environmanetal Activities and Cerifications

ASSA ABLOY works hard to minimize the environmental impacts of its business activities through various corporate-wide sustainability initiatives. To learn more, please visit: https://www.assaabloy.com/sv/com/sustainability/sustainability-report/
