Product 2.1 Product description The declared product are flat ceramic cladding panels made of clay. The panels are manufactured from various clay masses and obtain their surfaces resp. their colours through coordinated incineration charts. They are single-leaf panels as well as panels with cavities for claddings of external walls ventilated at rear. The cladding panels are tethered to the primary load-bearing systems of the cladding via system-bound aluminium substructures. 2.2 Application TONALITY is applied as sheeting material in nonbearing claddings for external walls ventilated at rear as well as for decorative interior fittings. The cladding panels are also used for suspended ceilings, embrasures and coverings. 2.3 Technical specifications Technical specifications Description Value Unit Gross density kg/m 3 Heat conductivity according to /DIN EN (90 C)/ 1.17 W/(mK) Breaking load depending on thickness 0.5 and height 6.67 kn Water absorption according to /DIN EN 3-5 % 539-2/ The level of sound absorption is not relevant in the context of the application of the said ceramic cladding panels. 2.4 Marketing authorization/application rules The EU Regulation No. 305/2011 dated March 9, 2011, shall apply with regard to the placing on the market. The products require a declaration of performance under consideration of /DIN EN 1304/ - Clay roofing tiles and fittings Product definitions and specifications; German version EN 1304:2005 and the CE marking. The national provisions and the General Technical Approval No: Z dated July 11, 2007 and Z dated October 24, 2010 issued by the Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik [German Institute for Structural Engineering] shall apply in Germany as far as application and use are concerned. 2.5 Delivery conditions Dimensions and tolerances of the TONALITY cladding panels in accordance with the Approvals mentioned under 2.4 Thickness 22mm: Height grid 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 300mm Delivery lengths up to 1,200mm 2 Environmental Product Declaration CREATON AG Ceramic cladding panel TONALITY classic Translation

3 Thickness 26mm: Height grid 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 300, 400mm Delivery lengths up to 1,600mm (for height grids of 150mm and 175mm up to 1,200mm) 2.6 Raw materials/auxiliary materials The ceramic cladding system TONALITY consists of ceramic cladding panels and a system-bound subconstruction made of aluminium. The ceramic cladding panels consist to 40-70% of clay (weathering products of rocks containing feldspar), to 20-35% of chamotte (burnt and grounded clays), of colour pigments 1-3% (metal oxides for integral coloration of the raw material) and colour coatings on the surfaces 0-2% (engobes or glazings). Clays and chamottes come from regional deposits in the proximity of the production plant (Westerwald). Colour pigments and surface coatings are purchased from renowned manufacturers of this kind of chemical substances. In addition, the shaping process requires approx. 20% of water in the course of the production process. 2.7 Manufacturing The manufacturing of the ceramic cladding panels is divided into 8 processing steps. During conditioning, the required raw materials are dosed, homogenised and mixed under addition of water to a plastic working mass. The shaping process then gives the plastic ceramic mass the desired shape by pulling it in strands. In the course of the drying process, the water contained in the blanks previously pulled in strands is cast out on gentle and regulated conditions. The dried tiles are engobed or glazed in the course of the surface refining process. As a result of their firing in a roller kiln, the cladding elements are added their technical characteristics as well as their distinctive appearance. During cutting, the cladding elements are cut exactly to the desired length. In the course of quality control, they are examined optically and measured on a random basis. During the last production process of packaging, the cladding elements are securely packed for transport according to the customers requirements. The production is monitored during each production process and controlled by means of state-of-the-art technology. The quality management of the products is certified according to /ISO 9001/. For more information, on this subject, please visit our homepage at Environment and health during manufacturing Attempts are made in the course of the entire production process to keep the impacts on the environment as low as possible. Besides the responsible use of natural resources, energy and water, CREATON participates in the Workplace Air Monitoring Programme (WAMP) of the Etex parent company, meaning that dusts are measured in the manufacturing facility as well as in the immediate proximity of the employee. Stringent limit values are forcing CREATON to undertake technical measures and resp. to use specific personal protective equipment (PPE). The emissions of the manufacturing process are measured internally every year and externally every two years in accordance with the production approval. The waste resulting from the production process is either recycled internally or redirected to the production cycle or properly and professionally disposed of externally. Noise pollution for neighbours as well as for the employees of CREATON AG is monitored on a regular basis and complies with the corresponding statutory limit values. Employees are provided with appropriate PPE in this context as well. The production is externally certified in accordance with the EU environmental standards (/ISO 14001/) and the requirements on occupational safety and health protection (/OHSAS 18001/). 2.9 Product processing/assembly The assembly is effected by means of a system-bound subconstruction. The assembly instructions according to the Approval of the building authorities must be complied with. Employees must wear appropriate personal protective equipment (respiratory protection P2/FFP2, safety glasses and hearing protection) while drilling and cutting the ceramic material to protect themselves against the effects of dusts containing quartz, possible chippings and noise. The sufficient ventilation of the workplace must be ensured, as well as the use of tools with a low exposure to dust (e.g. wet saw). Conventional suitable tools can be used for assembling the system-bound aluminium subconstruction. The requirements on health protection and occupational safety must, however, be observed in this context as well. The ceramic cladding panels are secured in the subconstruction by lugs on the reverse of the panels and attached onto the hooks of the subconstruction. In addition, it is possible to secure them against unauthorized removal Packaging The packaging of the products is effected on reusable Europaletts, partially with intermediate layers of cardboard or wood and using polyethylene shrinking foils. The reusable pallets can be taken back against reimbursement. All other packaging materials are taken back by the building materials trade and made available for recycling Utilisation condition Ceramic cladding panels do not alter after the production process. The cladding elements are weather resistant, frost resistant as well as acid and lye-proof in accordance with the current relevant standards Environment & health during use The cladding elements do not emit any substances hazardous to the environment and to health. The natural ionising radiation is extremely low and comparable to other building products Reference useful life Ceramic cladding panels do not alter after the completion of the production process. They are extremely durable when used according to instructions. The cladding elements are weather resistant according to /DIN EN 10545/ as well as frost resistant and acid and lye-proof according to /DIN EN 1304/. 3 Environmental Product Declaration CREATON AG Ceramic cladding panel TONALITY classic - Translation

4 2.14 Extraordinary impacts Fire Ceramic cladding elements meet the requirements of /DIN EN 13501/. No toxic and visibility obstructing gases or vapours will develop in the case of fire. Fire protection Description Building material class Flaming droplets Smoke production Value A1 no no Water As a result of the solid ceramic bonds, no water contaminating substances will be washed out. Mechanical destruction The ceramic facade can be destructed mechanically, a harmful effect on the environment is, however, not to be expected Subsequent use In the event of professional dismantling of buildings, the ceramic claddings can be reused as such. Homogeneous dismantled ceramic elements can be processed to chamottes and thus be redirected to the production process. Dismantled ceramic elements can also be used for road and underground construction. The use as floorings for tennis courts is possible just as well. Even the subconstruction can be reused if dismantled professionally. In addition, it is also possible to supply the aluminium material for recycling Disposal In the event that there are no possibilities of recycling, the ceramic elements can be disposed of and dumped the conventional way (waste key number building rubble according to LAGA Waste Type Catalogue, waste key number bricks according to European Waste Type Catalogue, Dump class I in accordance with the Technical Instructions on Municipal Waste) Further information For further information, please visit our homepage at 3. LCA: Calculation criteria 3.1 Declared unit The declaration refers to the life cycle of 1 m² of ceramic cladding panels including the system-bound aluminium subconstruction. The average basis weight of a ceramic cladding panel (without subconstruction) is 40.8 kg/m², the subconstruction weighs 0.52 kg/m². The gross density of the declared product is kg/dm³. The conversion factor to 1 kg (incl. subconstruction) is Declared unit Description Value Unit Declared unit 1 m 2 Basis weight (incl. subconstruction 0.52kg/m 2 ) kg/m 2 Gross density 2200 Kg/m 3 Conversion factor to 1 kg (incl. subconstruction) System boundaries Type of EPD: cradle to grave with options. The life cycle assessment takes into account the raw materials and the raw material transport and the actual product manufacturing including packaging material (modules A1-A3), the treatment of the packaging material in waste incineration plants after the installation of the product (module A5), as well as the transport after dismantling (module C2) and the End of Life (dumping of the cladding panel on an inert waste disposal site (module C4) and recycling of the aluminium subconstruction (module D). The credits for electricity and thermal energy resulting from the disposal of the packaging have also been taken into account (module D). The utilisation stage (module B) is not considered in this study. 3.3 Assessments and assumptions The data pertaining to the specification of the subconstruction was provided directly by the supplier. According to the manufacturer, the aluminium subconstruction consists to 35% of the AlMg3 H22/24 alloy and to 65% of the AlMg 4.5MnH24 alloy. In addition, the customer confirms that 20% of the aluminium is secondary aluminium and 80% is primary aluminium. Since there is no precise data available for the specific alloys of the secondary aluminium in the database, the data set DE: Aluminium ingot (AlMg9) sec. will be used in this context. 3.4 Cut-off criteria The assessment includes all data from the data collection of the company, i.e. all raw materials used according to the mixing formula, the consumed thermal energy as well as the power requirement and byproducts. Transportation costs have been observed for all the considered inputs. All material and energy flows with a share of less than 1 percent with regard to the total mass of the product were thus altogether taken into consideration according to /IBU PCR part A/ as well. The manufacture of the machines, facilities and other infrastructure needed for the manufacturing of the examined product was neglected in the present life cycle assessments. 3.5 Background data The software system for holistic balancing /GaBi 6/ developed by PE INTERNATIONA AG was applied for the modelling of the ceramic cladding tiles (incl. subconstruction). The consistent data sets contained in the GaBi data base are documented in the online GaBi documentation. The basic data of the GaBi data base was applied for energy, transport and auxiliary material. The LCA was effected for the reference area of Germany. This means that besides the production processes under these boundary conditions, the LCA also considered the relevant German preliminary stages, such as the supply of electricity or energy sources. The LCA uses the electrical power mix for Germany with the reference year Environmental Product Declaration CREATON AG Ceramic cladding panel TONALITY classic - Translation

5 Some emissions of the combustion process have been recorded based on measurements of CREATON AG as primary data. As the emission measurements were not complete, the generic background dataset Thermal energy from natural gas was used for the combustion process, which takes into consideration all the emissions of the combustion of natural gas. Since however, some of the values that have been measured by CREATON were higher as those existing in the GaBi data base (CO and SO2), these emissions were either considered too (carbon monoxide) or their difference calculated and integrated in the model (sulphur dioxide). The value from CREATON for nitrogen oxides is approx. 90% of the value of the PE data set. In this case, the value of the customer was not taken into account. 3.6 Data quality The data collected by CREATON for the production year 2012 was used for the modelling of the product development stage of the ceramic cladding panels (incl. subconstruction). All other relevant background data sets were taken from the database of the /GaBi 6/ software, which is not older than 2 years. 3.7 Observation period The underlying data of the LCA is based on the data collection of the year The observation period is 12 months. 3.8 Allocation The scrap of ceramic cladding panels can be reused. Scrap resulting after baking is given to a reprocessing company free of charge. This scrap can be used for most various purposes; such as for instance in road construction, as clay dust for tennis courts, as chamotte for the manufacturing of stoneware, etc. The unfired mass is returned to the supplier of clay and is mixed in to produce clay of lower quality (recycling). CREATON receives no payment in return. Since CREATON supplies both by-products free of charge, no by-product allocation criteria has been used. Both material flows leave the system value-free and unencumbered. The LCA also considers the recycling potential of aluminium. First, the amount of secondary aluminium necessary for the manufacturing is redirected resp. saturated ( closed loop ) from the aluminium scrap resulting from manufacturing and the EoL of the subconstruction. Subsequently, the company credits the remaining net scrap amount. 3.9 Comparability In principle, the comparison or assessment of EPD data is only possible, if all the data sets to be compared were created in accordance with EN and if the context of the building resp. the productspecific technical characteristics are taken into account. 4. LCA: Scenarios and further technical information The following technical information constitutes the basis for the declared modules or can be used for the development of specific scenarios in the context of a building assessment, if the modules are not declared (MND). Installation on the building (A5) The following packaging material is needed at the building site: Description Value Unit Auxiliary material - kg Water consumption - m 3 Other resources - kg Consumption of electricity - kwh Other sources of energy - MJ Material loss - kg Output material resulting from waste treatment at building site - kg Dust in the air - kg VOC into the air - kg Wooden pallets 1.04 kg/m² Cardboard 1.51E-01 kg/m² Foils 1.33E-01 kg/m² Reuse, recovery and recycling potential (D), relevant information on scenario The end-of-life of the declared products, once the utilization phase expired, is included in the balancing. As far as the aluminium scraps resulting from the subconstruction are concerned, a credit is given in module D (collection rate 90% /EMPA 2008/). It can be assumed that the aluminium subconstruction will reach the end-of-waste status directly after expiry of the utilization phase. The recycling potential was calculated in accordance with the requirements of the IBU-PCR document Products of aluminium and aluminium alloys. It describes the ecological value of the enrichment of a material in the technosphere. It determines how many environmental burdens can be avoided in relation to the new production of the material. Module D additionally includes the credits for electricity and thermal energy as a result of the thermal recovery of the packaging material from module 5. End of Life (C1-C4) Description Value Unit Landfill of cladding panel (without subconstruction) 408 kg Transport of cladding panel to End-of-life Euro 4 LKW 50 km Transport of subconstruction to End-of-life train + Euro 4 LKW km Load 85 % Volume load factor 100 % 5 Environmental Product Declaration CREATON AG Ceramic cladding panel TONALITY classic - Translation

7 6. LCA: Interpretation Illustr.: Relative contribution of various life cycle processes to the environmental impacts and primary energy use of 1 m 2 ceramic cladding panels including system-bound aluminium subconstruction. The above illustration shows the contributions of defined subsystems to the analysed environmental categories and to the primary energy use. In this context, the results of the modules A1-A3 are subdivided into the following subsystems: raw materials (extraction of clay, manufacturing of chamotte), transport of the raw materials to the plant, the manufacturing and disposal of the packaging including transports, the production of the cladding panel in the plant (including energy expenses) and the manufacturing of the subconstruction including transports to the plant. The subsystem End-of-Life (EoL) cladding panel takes account of the cladding panel transport (C2) and the landfill of the cladding panel (C4). The end of life of the subconstruction considers its transport (C2) and the credits resulting from the recycling of the metal (D). Generally, the consumption of thermal energy and electricity in the course of the manufacturing of the ceramic cladding panels have the most significant influence on all impact categories, with exception of the abiotic resource consumption of non-fossil resources (ADPe). The manufacturing of the subconstruction contributes to all impact categories with approx. 10% to 30%, except for ADPe. This is attributable in particular to the energy requirement of the electrolytic process during the manufacturing of aluminium. Compared to all raw materials used, colour pigments contribute the most to the analysed impact categories. Global warming potential (GWP), acidification potential (AP), eutrophication potential (EP), formation potential for tropospheric ozone (POCP) and abiotic consumption of resources of fossil resources (ADPf) are influenced by 10% to 25% by this intermediate product. This is a consequence of the electricity requirement during the manufacturing of Ferro Chrom in its upstream chains. As regards ADPe, a different environmental profile is shown compared to the other impact categories. In this case, the abiotic consumption of resources is caused to approx. 80% by the production of the pigments and to approx. 15% by the colour coatings of the surface. This results from the electricity requirement of the production of alumina (alumina constitutes a formulation component of the glazing). Other raw materials, such as clay and chamotte, contribute to all impact categories with 2% to 8%, with the exception of ADPe. This is mainly a consequence of the energy requirement of both manufacturing processes. Transports and expenses for packaging are of minor relevance compared to other defined subsystems. 7.
