ProductProduct description/Product definitionVELUX linings ensure an easy and quick connection of the roofwindow to the interior ceiling finish. They and their facings areassembled before being clicked into the window rebate in onepiece from the inside and there is no need for further framing. The linings are made in white PVC, need no finishing treatmentand are not sensitive to moisture. The white, semi-gloss surfaceand the white facings supplied ensure a harmonious connectionfrom the roof window to most walls.The linings are available in all window sizes and generationssold after 1991.Installation angle: Linings can be installed in roof pitches from15° to 90°.For the placing 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 EN 13245-2:2008, Plastics - Unplasticizedpoly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) profiles for building applications -Part 2: PVC-U profiles and PVC-UE profiles for internal andexternal wall and ceiling finishes and the CE-marking. For the application and use the respective national provisionsapply.ApplicationStandard linings tobe used in roofs with a roof thickness of min170 mm to max 530 mm.Technical DataThe Declaration of Performance including relevant technicalspecifications and test methods/test standards can bedownloaded from the website www.velux.com/ce-marking.Constructional dataNameValueUnitReaction to fireEclassDurabilityNo performance determinedPerformance data of the product in accordance with thedeclaration of performance with respect to its essentialcharacteristics according to EN 13245-2:2008, Plastics -Unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) profiles for buildingapplications - Part 2: PVC-U profiles and PVC-UE profiles forinternal and external wall and ceiling finishes.Base materials/Ancillary materialsNameValueUnitPlastics97.7%Steel2.3%REACHThis product contains substances listed in the candidate list(date: 09.08.2023) exceeding 0.1 percentage by mass: no.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 declaresa service life for the complete roof window dependent on theapplied window frame material between 25 and ≥ 50 years.This includes linings as declared with this EPD.LCA: Calculation rulesDeclared UnitThe declared unit is one m² related to a reference window, thatthe lining is installed in connection with.The declared unit is based on the representative productmeasuring 0.78m x 1.178m.Declared unit and mass referenceNameValueUnitDeclared unit1m2Grammage12.56kg/m2Layer thickness0mWeight per area11.56kg/representative productWeight per area12.56kg/declared unitThe calculation is based mainly on BOM (Bill of Material) data,with only a few specific information on processing. This may lead to a higheruncertainty for the result values and needs to be kept in mindfor the application of this EPD.System boundaryType of EPD: Cradle to gate - with options. The following lifecycle stages were considered:Production stage A1-A3:Consideration of the production of raw materials (plastic profileand steel) and their processing (estimated energy data:electrical energy from the national residual mix and thermalenergy from natural gas); transport of major materials to themanufacturing site; assembly of semi-finished products to thefinal product; packaging material (including waste paper inputfor paper and cardboard).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 plastic in a wasteincineration plant (WIP) is assumed; metals are assumed to berecycled.The EoL-Scenario does not assume waste to be disposed of ona landfill 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 forrecycling, as well as the benefit for the regained metals aredeclared in module D.Environmental Product Declaration - VELUX A/S - VELUX lining LSB2

Disclaimer 1 – for the indicator 'Potential Human exposure efficiency relative to U235'. This impact category deals mainly with theeventual impact of low-dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possiblenuclear accidents, occupational exposure or radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from thesoil, 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 highas 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.ReferencesStandardsEN 15804EN 15804:2012+A2:2019+AC:2021, Sustainability ofconstruction works — Environmental Product Declarations —Core rules for the product category of construction products.ISO 14025EN ISO 14025:2011, Environmental labels and declarations —Type III environmental declarations — Principles andprocedures.ISO 15686ISO 15686-1:2011-05: Buildings and constructed assets -Service life planning EN 13245EN 13245-2:2008: Plastics - Unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC-U) profiles for building applications - Part 2: PVC-Uprofiles and PVC-UE profiles for internal and external wall andceiling finishesFurther ReferencesBBSRBBSR, 24.02.2017, Nutzungsdauer von Bauteilen nach BNBIBU 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., 2021www.ibu-epd.com LCA FE 10.7 / MLC DBSphera's LCA Software for Experts / Managed LCA Contentdatabase, Sphera Solutions GmbH, Leinfelden-Echterdingen,database version 2023.1, 2023PCR part ACalculation Rules for the Life Cycle Assessment andRequirements on the Project Report according to EN15804+A2:2019, version 1.3, IBU, 2022PCR part BRequirements on the EPD for Windows and doors, version01.08.2021, IBUREACH/candidate listRegulation (EC) No 1907/2006: Registration, Evaluation,Authorisation and 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 harmonised conditions forthe marketing of construction products and repealing CouncilDirective 89/106/EEC Text with EEA relevanceEnvironmental Product Declaration - VELUX A/S - VELUX lining LSBComparative toxic unit for humans (noncarcinogenic) (HTP-nc)CTUh4.87E-0705.05E-109.44E-080-5.37E-08Soil quality index (SQP)SQP2.76E+0202.57E-017.7E+000-2.61E+015
