1 Adhesive Gasket ASSA ABLOY is committed providing products and services that are environmentally sound throughout the entire production process and the product lifecycle. Our unconditional aim is make sustainability a central part of our business philosophy and culture, but even more important is the job of integrating sustainability in our business strategy. The employment of EPDs will help architects, designers and LEED- APs select environmentally preferable door openings. ASSA ABLOY will continue our efforts protect the environment and health of our cusmers/end users and will utilize the EPD as one means document those efforts. The Pemko Adhesive Gasket is designed seal a gap between a door and frame or between meeting edges of a pair of doors for energy efficiency, sound attenuation, and smoke inhibition.

2 Adhesive Gasket ISO and EN This declaration is an environmental product declaration (EPD) in accordance with ISO EPDs rely on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) provide information on a number of environmental impacts of products over their life cycle. 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 sitespecific environmental impacts of raw material extraction, nor are they meant assess human health xicity. EPDs can complement but cannot replace ols and certifications that are designed 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, and the level of accuracy in estimation of effect differs for any particular product line and reported impact. Comparability: EPDs are not comparative assertions and are either not comparable or have limited comparability when they cover different life cycle stages, are based on different product category rules or are missing relevant environmental impacts. EPDs from different programs may not be comparable.

Name Declared unit Mass Conversion facr 1 Value Unit feet of gasket - System Boundary This is a cradle gate with options Environmental Product Declaration. The following life cycle phases were considered: Product Stage Construction Process Stage Use Stage End of Life Stage* Benefits and Loads Beyond the System Boundaries Raw material supply Transport Manufacturing A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 C1 C2 C3 C4 D X X X X X MND MND MND MND MND MND MND MND X X X X Description of the System Boundary Stages Corresponding the PCR (X = Included; MND = Module Not Declared) *This includes provision of all materials, products and energy, packaging processing and its transport, as well as waste processing up the end-of waste state or disposal of final residues. Estimates and Assumptions End of Life In the End of Life phase, for all the materials which can be recycled, a recycling scenario with 100% collection rate was assumed. Cut-off Criteria In the assessment, all available data from the production process are considered, i.e. all raw materials used, auxiliary materials (e.g. lubricants), thermal energy consumption and electric power consumption - including material and energy flows contributing less than 1% of mass or energy (if available). In case a specific flow contributing less than 1% in mass or energy is not available, worst case assumption proxies are selected represent the respective environmental impacts. Impacts relating the production of machines and facilities required during production are out of the scope of this assessment. Bacround data Transport from gate the site Construction/ installation process Use Maintenance Repair Replacement For life cycle modeling of the considered products, the GaBi 8 Software System for Life Cycle Engineering, developed by thinkstep, is used. The GaBi-database contains consistent and documented datasets which are documented in the online GaBi-documentation. To ensure comparability of results in the LCA, the basic data of GaBi database were used for energy, transportation and auxiliary materials.

7 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 limit uncertainty. Period Under Review The period under review is the full calendar year of Where data was incomplete, annual 2015 data was used and was deemed representative for the product. Allocation Allocation was determined on a per unit basis. Comparability A comparison or an evaluation of EPD data is only possible if all data sets be compared were created according EN and the building context, respectively the product-specific characteristics of performance, are taken in 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.
