ProductProduct description/Product definitionThe VELUX flashings for flat roofing material are products forsale in the European market. This group of flashings cover alarge range of different flashing types for profiled roofingmaterial.The different flashing types fit for installation with either a singlewindow configuration or configurations of multiple windowsinstalled adjacent to each other. All the flashings consist mainlyof aluminium.The calculations are based on the representative flashing forflat roofing material named EDN. In the LCA, the EDN wasassessed to be a conservative choice for a representativeflashing for profiled roofing material type. For the use andapplication of the product the respective national provisions atthe place of use apply, in Germany for example the buildingcodes of the federal states and the corresponding nationalspecifications.ApplicationVELUX flashings for flat roofing material are used in renovationand new build. Either installed as a single window or in acombination of multiple windows.Technical DataConstructional dataNameValueUnitReaction to fire EN 13501-1EclassPerformance data of the product with respect to itscharacteristics in accordance with the relevant technicalprovision (no CE-marking).Base materials/Ancillary materialsNameValueUnitAluminium96%Galvanized steel1%Stainless steel0.4%Polybutadiene1%Polyethylene LD1%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. This includes collars and flashings as declaredwith this EPD.LCA: Calculation rulesDeclared UnitThe declared unit is one m² related to a reference window, thatthe flashing is installed in connection with.The declared unit is based on the representative productmeasuring 0.78m x 1.178m.Declared unitNameValueUnitDeclared unit1m2Weight per area3.30kg/representative productWeight per area3.59kg/declared unitSystem 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 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 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.Contribution of waste flows is considered in the modules wherethey occur.Geographic RepresentativenessLand or region, in which the declared product system ismanufactured, used or handled at the end of the product´slifespan: EuropeEnvironmental Product Declaration - VELUX Group - VELUX flashings for flat roofing material2
ComparabilityBasically, a comparison or an evaluation of EPD data is onlypossible if all the data sets to be compared were createdaccording to EN 15804 and the building context, respectivelythe product-specific characteristics of performance, are takeninto account. The software GaBi is used accompanied by theGaBi background data base (version 2021.2, 2021).LCA: Scenarios and additional technical informationCharacteristic product properties of biogenic carbonThe following declared values refer to the declared unit of 1m².Information on describing the biogenic Carbon Content atfactory gateThe declared biogenic content comprises the paper manualand the packaging material consisting of cardboard, paper andwood.

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 13501DIN EN 13501-1:2019-05: Fire classification of constructionproducts and building elements - Part 1: Classification usingdata from reaction to fire testsDIN EN ISO 10077DIN EN ISO 10077-1:2020-10: Thermal performance ofwindows, doors and shutters - Calculation of thermaltransmittanceEN 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 Group - VELUX flashings for flat roofing materialComparative toxic unit for humans (noncarcinogenic) (HTP-nc)CTUh2.99E-0701.18E-101.11E-090-2.12E-07Soil quality index (SQP)SQP1.74E+0204.96E-026.59E-020-7.21E+005
