ProductProduct description/Product definitionThe VELUX BDX insulation collar is a product for sale in theEuropean market.The Insulation collar is for insulation and closure of gapsbetween the window and roof.The insulation collars consist of mainly steel and plastics.The calculations are based on the BDX insulation collar. For theplacing on the market of the product in the EuropeanUnion/European Free Trade Association (EU/EFTA) (with theexception of Switzerland) Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011 (CPR)applies. The product needs a declaration of performance takinginto consideration DIN EN 16069:2012+A1:2015 Thermalinsulation products for buildings – Factory made products ofpolyethylene foam (PEF) – Specification. For the applicationand use, the respective national provisions apply.ApplicationVELUX BDX insulation collaris used in renovation and newbuild. Either installed as a single window or in a combination ofmultiple windows.Technical DataThe Declaration of Performance including relevant technicalspecifications and test methods/test standards can bedownloaded from the website www.velux.com/ce-marking.The performance values are specific for the BDX insulationcollar.The declared values in the table relate to the reference product.For other covered product variants, specific values can beselected at the bottom of the above-mentioned download page.Constructional dataNameValueUnitFire resistance class DIN EN 1634-1EclassThermal resistance λD0.039W/(mK)Performance data of the product in accordance with thedeclaration of performance with respect to its essentialcharacteristics according to DIN EN 16069:2012+A1:2015Thermal insulation products for buildings – Factory madeproducts of polyethylene foam (PEF) – Specification.Base materials/Ancillary materialsNameValueUnitGalvanized steel65%Polyethylene LD18%Polypropylene8%Polybutadiene7%PA 6.6 with glass fibre1%Hot-melt adhesive1%REACHThis product/article/at least one partial article containssubstances listed in the candidate list (date: 17.01.2022)exceeding 0.1 percentage by mass: no.Recycled contentThe values stated in the table relate to the recycled materialstreams in VELUX production.Reference service lifeA calculation of the reference service life according to ISO15686 is not possible.The Bundesinstitut für Bau, Stadt und Raumforschung/Federaloffice for building and regional planning (BBSR)table declares for the complete roof window a service lifedependent on the applied window frame material between 25and ≥ 50 years.

The following lifecycle stages were considered:Production stage A1-A3:Consideration of the production of raw materials and theirprocessing; transport of major material to the manufacturingsite; assembly of semi-finished products to the final product;packaging material (including waste paper input for paper andcardboard).End-of-Life stage C1, C2, C3:C1: a manual demolition is assumed, resulting in indicator value"0".C2: For the transport to EoL by truck a distance of 50 km isassumed.C3: A scenario for the incineration of plastics in a wasteincineration plant (WIP) is assumed.The EoL-Scenario does not assume waste to be disposed on alandfill site. Module C4 is declared as "0".Benefits for the next product system D:Resulting electrical and thermal energy from the WIP, avoidingthe generation of electricity and heat via fossil fuels, isconsidered.The amount of metals after the reduction due to the net-flowcalculations is sent to a recycling process. The effort forEnvironmental Product Declaration - Velux - Collar BDX2

Disclaimer 1 – for the indicator 'Potential Human exposure efficiency relative to U235'.This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. Itdoes not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure or radioactive waste disposal in undergroundfacilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.Disclaimer 2 – for the indicators 'abiotic depletion potential for non-fossil resources', 'abiotic depletion potential for fossil resources','water (user) deprivation potential, deprivation-weighted water consumption', 'potential comparative toxic unit for ecosystems', 'potentialcomparative toxic unit for humans – cancerogenic', 'Potential comparative toxic unit for humans - not cancerogenic', 'potential soilquality index'. The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are highor as there is limited experience with the indicator.Disclaimer 3 – for 'potential soil quality index'. Due to a data lack in the foreground data of VELUX, the result has a very highuncertainty and refers only to the background data, which contain respective information.ReferencesBBSRBBSR, 24.02.2017, Nutzungsdauer von Bauteilen nach BNBDIN EN 1634-1DIN EN 1634-1:2018-04: Fire resistance and smoke controltests for door and shutter assemblies, openable windows andelements of building hardware - Part 1: Fire resistance test fordoor and shutter assemblies and openable windowsDIN EN 16069DIN EN 16069:2012+A1:2015-04: Thermal insulation productsfor buildings - Factory made products of polyethylene foam(PEF) - SpecificationEN 15804EN 15804:2012+A2:2019, Sustainability of construction works— Environmental Product Declarations — Core rules for theproduct category of construction products.GaBiGaBi Software and GaBi Database by Sphera Solution GmbH,version: 2021.2, 2021IBU 2021Institut Bauen und Umwelt e.V.: General Instructions for theEPD programme of Institut Bauen und Umwelt e.V., Version2.0, Berlin: Institut Bauen und Umwelt e.V., 2021, www.ibu-epd.comISO 14025EN ISO 14025:2011, Environmental labels and declarations —Type III environmental declarations — Principles andprocedures.ISO 15686ISO 15686:2011-05: Buildings and constructed assets - Servicelife planning - Part 1: General principles and frameworkPCR part ACalculation Rules for the Life Cycle Assessment andRequirements on the Project Report according to EN15804+A2:2019, version 1.2, Berlin: Institut Bauen und Umwelte.V., 2021PCR part BRequirements on the EPDS for Windows and doors, version01-2021, Berlin: Institut Bauen und Umwelt e.V.REACHRegulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament andof the Council on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisationand Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011 (CPR)Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament andof the Council of 9 March 2011 laying down harmonizedconditions for the marketing of construction products andrepealingCounsicl Directive 89/106/EEC Environmental Product Declaration - Velux - Collar BDXComparative toxic unit for humans (noncarcinogenic) (HTP-nc)CTUh2.22E-0701.36E-107.24E-090-7.28E-08Soil quality index (SQP)SQP8.74E+0105.72E-024.38E-010-6.29E+005
