Verification The CEN Norm EN 15804 serves as the core PCR Independent verification of the declaration and data according to ISO 14025 internally x externally Prof. Dr.Ing. Horst J. Bossenmayer (President of Institut Bauen und Umwelt e.v.) Matthias Schulz (Independent tester appointed by SVA) Prof. Dr.Ing. HansWolf Reinhardt (Chairman of SVA) Product Product description Knauf Insulation manufactures rock mineral wool insulation products. They are available in the form of slabs or boards, and also possibly rolls. The density range for rock mineral wool goes from 25 to 160 kg/m³. In terms of composition, inorganic rocks are the main components (typically 98%) of stone wool, with the remaining fraction organic content which is generally a thermosetting resin binder. The binder content is typically less than 4% and/or around 2%. The inorganic part is made of volcanic rocks, typically basalt, also dolomite and with an increasing proportion of recycled material in the form of briquettes, a mix of stone wool scrap and cement. DP3 is a multipurpose board which is used as a thermal, acoustical and fire insulation product. For the placing on the market of construction products in the European Union the Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 applies. The products need a Declaration of performance taking into account the harmonized product standard /EN 13162/ and the CEmark. Application Main applications for the DP3 are: pitched roof, frame constructions, ceilings, walls and internal partition For the applications and use national.regulations apply, in Germany the Allgemeine bauaufsichtliche Zulassung Z23.151475 (building inspection approval) 2 issued by the Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik (DIBt), Berlin. Technical Data The product DP3 and its technical characteristics meet a number of technical requirements.

briquette. The briquette is made of rock mineral wool waste (internal or external) and cement. Additionally, coke is also added in the cupola as an energy carrier. Further down the manufacturing line, a binder (thermo set resin) is spread on the fibers which polymerization contributes to fix the products dimensions and mechanical properties. Reference service life The RSL or durability of DP3 is as long as the lifetime of the building in which it is used. LCA: Calculation rules Declared The declared unit is 1 m³ of rock mineral wool. The density used for the calculation of the LCA is 33 kg/m³ multipurpose product. Therefore, the treatment of the packaging waste after the installation of the product has not been considered. Declared unit The use stage. Because they are specific for the building, its use and location, none of the modules related to the building fabric (B1B5) nor the operation of the building (B6 and B7) have been taken into account in this EPD. Declared unit Gross density Conversion factor to 1 kg 1 33 0.03 m3 kg/m3 System boundary The system boundary of the EPD follows the modular approach defined by the EN 15804. The type of EPD is cradle to gate with options. List and explanation of the modules declared in the EPD. The product stage (A1A3) includes: A1 raw material extraction and processing, processing of secondary material input (e.g. recycling processes), A2 transport to the manufacturer and A3 manufacturing. This includes provision of all materials, products and energy, packaging processing and its transport, as well as waste processing up to the endof waste state or disposal of final residues during the product stage. The LCA results are given in an aggregated form for the product stage, meaning that the modules A1, A2 and A3 are considered as a unique module A1A3. The construction process stage includes: transport to the construction site and A5 installation into the building. The transport to the building site () is included in the LCA calculation. For the DP3 product, the average transport distance is assumed to be 300 km with a truck capacity utilization of 70%. Module A5 has not been included nor declared in this EPD, since it depends on the application, and method or tools used, which can be very diverse as DP3 is a The endoflife stage includes: C1 deconstruction, demolition, transport to waste processing, C3 waste processing for reuse, recovery and/or recycling and disposal. This includes provision of all transports, materials, products and related energy and water use, but only modules and are reported, as they are considered the most relevant scenarios for rock mineral wool products. Although rock mineral wool product from Knauf Insulation is partly recycled at endoflife, there is not yet an established collection system, and as such, the assumption chosen in this study,100% landfilled after the use phase, is the most conservative approach. Module D includes reuse, recovery and/or recycling potentials. According to /EN 15804/, any declared benefits and loads from net flows leaving the product system not allocated as coproducts and having passed the endof waste state shall be included in module D. No benefits and loads are considered so module D is not included in the background model. Comparability Basically, a comparison or an evaluation of EPD data is only possible if all the data sets to be compared were created according to EN 15804 and the building context, respectively the productspecific characteristics of performance, are taken into account.

The renewable energy demand regarding the product DP3 is dominated by the production, mostly due to electricity consumption, and the packaging. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Every impact category except the abiotic ADP elements is dominated by the production. This is due to the consumption of energy (electricity and thermal energy) during the production of rock mineral wool products. The ADP elements are dominated by the binder production, followed by the supply of basic materials such as cement for briquettes. The GWP is dominated by the production, mostly due to CO2 emissions from cupola and energy consumption. The production of the binder represents more than 10% of the impact, due to the use of phenol as raw material. The ODP is most notably influenced by the production and the binder. The AP is also dominated by the production due to the emissions related to the processes and the energy consumption. Mostly, the impact refers to emissions to air: 75% from sulphur dioxide and 20% from nitrogen oxides. 4 Environmental Product Declaration DP3
The EP is significantly influenced by the production due to emissions from the cupola furnace, curing oven and other unit processes. The POCP is particularly dominated by the production (emissions in the cupola furnace and other unit processes). The results from the transport are negative due to the NO emissions; NO counteracts the POCP.
