Use advice for data set This data set contains the results for modules A1-A3 and modules A4, A5, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, C1, C2, C3, C4 and D in accordance with EN 15804 + A2. The modeling of the B-modules was based on 1 year. A comparison with other products is only permissible with a comparable application in the building. In principle, a comparison or evaluation of EPD data is only possible if all data sets to be compared were created in accordance with EN 15804 + A2 and the building context or the product-specific performance characteristics are taken into account. The sample EPD becomes valid when it is transferred to the manufacturer by the ift. Currently valid EPDs are published on www.ift-service.de/epd.
Technical purpose of product or process Insulating glass units for installation in windows, doors, curtain walling, roofs and partitions.

Time representativeness
Data set valid until 2029
Time representativeness description annual average
Technological representativeness
Technology description including background system The life cycle assessment results cover the life cycle stages of manufacturing the intermediate products up to raw material extraction and processing operations of secondary materials serving as input (e.g. recycling processes), their transports to the plant as well as the production itself, including the provision of all auxiliary and operating materials, energy, and the complete waste treatment or landfilling of the residual waste during the stage of production. Modules A1, A2, and A3 are shown here as one aggregated module A1-A3. If further modules were calculated for this data set, they can be found separately and can be combined for a consideration of the entire life cycle.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
